My code goes like

rust
#[shuttle_service::main]
async fn main(
    #[shuttle_shared_db::Postgres] db: PgPool,
    #[shuttle_static_folder::StaticFolder(folder = "frontend/public")]
    static_folder: std::path::PathBuf,
) -> shuttle_service::ShuttleAxum {

It builds correctly but fails with the aforementioned error. Final part of the log is:

Is nested static folders not supported?

Not tried it myself, but I'd hope it would be enough to just give the top-level folder - so maybe try changing to folder = "frontend" and seeing what happens?

Making it a top-level folder works. But as I am keeping my frontend code in

frontend

directory, it is bothersome to copy the public folder up a level just for this.

What are you using to write your front end? Surely there's a command you can use to change your output directory?

I kinda assumed the static folder would be 'a top level static folder and everything underneath it is recursively included'. I hope so. I am trying to deploy a little test project right now that would prove this one way or another, but a single folder without sub-folders would be.. painful, for sure.

Normally it is if you're just building assets for prod

Do you mean 'it is a single folder without sub-folders'? I'm gonna want to keep my templates separate from my css, js, icons, images, all the good stuff though.

Sorry what I meant was that normally the static folder does have subdirectories but normally, there is a command you can use to change what you want to make the output directory

Yes, it is trivial. But that means now some of my frontend material lives outside the frontend folder.

Hmmmm, yeah I can see how that would be an issue - it's annoying if you only want specific dirs to have stuff

Yep, I definitely want ability to have specific stuff in specific dirs. This may be because I want to do quite an old-school style project with minimal js (using htmx). So I opened this feature request: https://github.com/shuttle-hq/shuttle/issues/701
