Hey, I'm trying to deploy an actix shuttleapp/webserver/api with a static html page on it, nothing fancy just a title atm. The api part works fine, but the static page just gives me

No such file or directory (os error 2)

I have added the shuttle_static_folder dependency as in the example, but it was never used in main.rs there. I'm sure it's me doing something stupid. I've somewhat extrapolated from the actix-websocket example:

rust
use actix_files::NamedFile;
use actix_web::{ web::{self, ServiceConfig}, Responder };
use shuttle_actix_web::ShuttleActixWeb;

mod api;
mod models;

async fn index() -> impl Responder {
    NamedFile::open_async("./static/index.html")
        .await
        .map_err(|e| actix_web::error::ErrorInternalServerError(e))
}

#[shuttle_runtime::main]
async fn actix_web(
) -> ShuttleActixWeb<impl FnOnce(&mut ServiceConfig) + Send + Clone + 'static> {
    let config = move |cfg: &mut ServiceConfig| {
        cfg.service(web::resource("/").route(web::get().to(index)));
        cfg.service(api::openmeteo::openmeteo);
    };

    Ok(config.into())
}

Here is the repo: https://github.com/christ-offer/shuttle-actix-api

Hey there, shuttle requires you to use the

shuttle_static_folder

lib for static folder support - you can find more about this here https://docs.shuttle.rs/resources/shuttle-static-folder

I did have a look there, but I'm a bit of a big dumdum, so I wasnt sure what to do with it since the example was Axum hah, and the actix websocked example didnt use it, so i didnt really know

Oh poop sorry, I didn't read your message fully

😛

You need to supply it as a parameter in your main function

so wrap everything in main inside it?

So for example:

fn actix(
#[shuttle_static_folder::StaticFolder] pub: PathBuf
) -> .... etc

something like this? or am I way off 😛

rust
#[shuttle_runtime::main]
async fn actix_web(
    #[shuttle_static_folder::StaticFolder] static_folder: PathBuf,
) -> ShuttleActixWeb<impl FnOnce(&mut ServiceConfig) + Send + Clone + 'static> {
    let config = move |cfg: &mut ServiceConfig| {
        cfg.service(web::resource("/").route(web::get().to(index)));
        cfg.service(api::openmeteo::openmeteo);
    };

    Ok(config.into())
}

Basically, yeah! You need to pass the static folder in wherever you'd normally use the namedfile path

alright, should probably update the example repo 😄

Oh that's not ideal 😅 thanks for the feedback! We're working on condensing a lot of our examples into more general guides rather than trying to just have random specific examples so we'll try to keep this in mind

From a beginners perspective, some standards like a simple example implementation in earch framework for stuff like static folders would be quite useful 😛

what version of

cargo-shuttle

are you using at the moment?

0.14.0

try updating cargo-shuttle with

cargo install cargo-shuttle --force

, should work again after that

still the same error:

try updating all of your shuttle deps in cargo.toml to 0.15.0

yeah that makes sense...

I think there might have been some breaking resource changes 😂 I can't remember exactly, but yeah

well, deploy doesnt fail, but still

No such file or directory (os error 2)

hah

Does the function for returning static files use the pathbuf passed in the main function?

ehhh exposing my ignorance here 😛 not as i can see

Hmmm let me think

amedFile::open_async("./static/index.html")

so this needs the pathbuf somehow?

yeah so you'd just pass the pathbuf in as a parameter

doesnt satisfy the namedfile handler Responder thingy, hah

hmmm
