Error "404 Not Found" when starting existing web app about genie.jl HOT 7 CLOSED

A Genie app is a distinct project which uses Genie but is not part of Genie.

You need to execute bin/repl.bat or bin/server.bat in the terminal, while in the app's dir. Or in a Julia REPL, also in the app's folder, run include("genie.jl") -- this will bootstrap the app.
Check out the updated README at https://github.com/essenciary/Genie.jl#loading-an-app

P.S. -- it might be a good idea to automatically load the app if Genie is loaded in an app's dir. I'll give it a try...

Ok, I tried but still localhost does not show output in the browser (after refresh). Maybe I did something wrong? It's very possible (but not intended)! First, here is more detailed version info:

julia> versioninfo()
Julia Version 1.0.0
Commit 5d4eaca0c9 (2018-08-08 20:58 UTC)
Platform Info:
  OS: Windows (x86_64-w64-mingw32)
  CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU         870  @ 2.93GHz
  WORD_SIZE: 64
  LIBM: libopenlibm
  LLVM: libLLVM-6.0.0 (ORCJIT, nehalem)
Environment:
  JULIA_EDITOR = "C:\Users\aalexandersson\AppData\Local\atom\app-1.29.0\atom.exe" -a
  JULIA_NUM_THREADS = 4

How should I execute the bat files? If in Windows I double-click bin/repl.bat I get this output (no error)

If I instead in Windows double-click bin/server.bat I get this output (error could not open file):

If I instead run include("genie.jl") from Julia REPL in my app directory I get this output (no error):

shell> cd Anders_cool_new_app
F:\Julia\Anders_cool_new_app

julia> include("genie.jl")

But sometimes the [Info: ...] part is omitted. A final detail, which might not matter, is that when the new app was running I used to get lots of "listening/uptime" output.

from genie.jl.

I fixed it, There seems to be one missing step in the instructions, because it is not obvious to a beginner like myself: You need to start the web server once Genie is up if you want to see the app in the browser.

genie> Genie.AppServer.startup()
[ Info: Listening on: Sockets.InetAddr{Sockets.IPv4}(ip"127.0.0.1", 0x1f40)

@aalexandersson That's right - once you include "genie.jl" that loads the app's environment -- but then the server needs to be started.

You're right, it's not clear. I'll put more details in the doc. Also, I'll see maybe Genie can automatically start the app if using Genie in an app's folder. Finally, the fact that bin/server.bat doesn't work looks like a bug, I'll check it out.

@aalexandersson Is this better?

Thank you, the wording is much clearer now. I don't know why bin/server.bat resulted in an error (I don't have access yet to Julia in the weekends) but I will keep testing your package. It is very promising!

from genie.jl.

if you are using vscode enter into the app's main directory type bin/server.bat press enter this will run your server. Then press the add icon to add a new terminal and type bin/repl.bat press enter and a julia command line specific to your project will open. Go your favorite browser and see through your urls.
