嵌入appmod的YAW不适合我

Question

Alright, what am I doing wrong here. I'm trying the simple example of embedded YAWs from http://yaws.hyber.org/embed.yaws but with an appmod. I've added the my_app.erl file and compiled it. It works if not in embedded YAWs so I think it is specific to embedded.

-module(ybed).
-compile(export_all).

start() ->
    {ok, spawn(?MODULE, run, [])}.

run() ->
    Id = "embedded",
    GconfList = [{ebin_dir, ["/Users/someuser/yawsembedded/ebin"]}],
    Docroot = "/Users/someuser/yawstest",
    SconfList = [{port, 8888},
                 {listen, {0,0,0,0}},
                 {docroot, Docroot},
                 {appmods, [{"/", my_app}]}
                ],
    {ok, SCList, GC, ChildSpecs} =
        yaws_api:embedded_start_conf(Docroot, SconfList, GconfList),
    [supervisor:start_child(ybed_sup, Ch) || Ch <- ChildSpecs],
    yaws_api:setconf(GC, SCList),
    {ok, self()}.

Getting this Error:

The stack trace shows that your my_app:out/1 function is getting called, but you're getting an undef exception. This is occurring because the runtime can't find the my_app:out/1 function, which means either it can't find the module or the module exists but does not export an out/1 function. For example, I was able to duplicate the error using the example code by not providing a my_app module.

First, make sure your my_app.erl file exports an out/1 function. Here's a trivial one that just returns a 405 error for all requests:

-module(my_app).
-export([out/1]).

out(_Arg) ->
    {status, 405}.

Compile your my_app.erl file and put the compiled my_app.beam file either in a load path already known to the Erlang runtime, or in a directory you add to the load path. In your code it appears you're trying the latter approach, since you're specifically adding an ebin_dir with this Yaws global configuration directive:

GconfList = [{ebin_dir, ["/Users/someuser/yawsembedded/ebin"]}],

You need to verify that the /Users/someuser/yawsembedded/ebin directory exists, and that the compiled my_app.beam file is located there.
