adding a "www" folder to my app caused it to unexpectedly break

[jnolis]

I had a POST request in my brochure app, as this blog post suggested, and it was working extremely well up until I added a "www" folder with a "site.css" file to my app. At that point the req_handlers of the post function stopped being fired off. When I deleted the folder the POST requests worked again. I'm not sure how these two parts of the code would be related but it did seem to be the case.

That's weird, I'll have a look into that and let you know!

Thanks for this package. Has this issue been resolved? I'm still having the similar issue. Any plan to make this project WIP to live?

Hey,

Sorry for getting back so late on this.

I unfortunately can't reproduce this.
Do you have a reprex you could share?
I feel like I'm not using the same structure as you.

Here is my app structure for including CSS, the POST request still works here : https://github.com/ColinFay/brochure/tree/issue-28/dev/issue-28

Note that this isn't the case either when using {golem} as CSS is bundled by the app

Hmm, I can recreate the error on my complex ggirl-server, but I can't in your reprex. I will not that my code doesn't have the addResourcePath call in it, and also in the tags$link command I was using just site.css not www/site.css since I think shiny normally removes that for you. I'll dig a little more to see if I can find what's different about ggirl-server.

I have exactly the same issue using the golembrochure example. When sourcing a htmlTemplate(app_sys("app/example.html")). I have to add www/ to all links in example.html or none of the resources are loaded. In a normal Shiny app the www/ prefix is not required. Adding addResourcePath("www", "www") in the server does not work for me.
