如何通过Express在Openshift上提供静态文件？

Question

I need an Openshift person to answer this. Local server working serving files from /static folder on root. Once ported up to Openshift, "404 not found". There is something in Openshift that is changing my routes. I'm using the lines:

 const repoDir = env.OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR || __dirname;
 app.use(express.static(repoDir + '/static'));

What step am I missing?

Answer 1

I am user of OpenShift‎ .

Recently I have came across the similar issue.

Please refer the below to check if it resolves the issue.

1. Check if you get the below error.

TypeError: Object #<ServerResponse> has no method 'sendFile'
- try Upgrading expressJS version

2. Use the below approach to serve the static files including js. Working sample

<code>
  app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/public')));

  app.get('/', function(req, res){
   res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, '/views/index.html'));
  });
</code>

express - version is 4.14.0
