I am trying to deploy a test golang app to Heroku:
My procfile looks like this:
web: todo
But when running my app I get the following error:
2017-04-10T15:24:07.128780+00:00 app[web.1]: panic: could not locate box "./static"
My main.go file contains:
package main
import (
"net/http"
"github.com/kitensei/go-todoist/server"
"github.com/GeertJohan/go.rice"
"os"
"log"
"fmt"
"path"
"strconv"
)
var boxPrefix = getenv("BOXPATH", "")
func main() {
dir, err := os.Getwd()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println("DIRECTORY CWD: " + dir)
ex, err := os.Executable()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
exPath := path.Dir(ex)
fmt.Println("EXECUTABLE PATH: " + exPath)
exists, err := exists(boxPrefix + "static")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("CHECK IF (" +boxPrefix + "static) EXISTS: " + strconv.FormatBool(exists))
server.RegisterHandlers()
http.Handle("/", http.FileServer(rice.MustFindBox(boxPrefix + "static").HTTPBox()))
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}
func getenv(key, fallback string) string {
value := os.Getenv(key)
if len(value) == 0 {
return fallback
}
return value
}
func exists(path string) (bool, error) {
_, err := os.Stat(path)
if err == nil {
return true, nil
}
if os.IsNotExist(err) {
return false, nil
}
return true, err
}
Can someone give me an hint ?
EDIT: Here the output when I try to find the CWD and set the box path accordingly
