What's wrong?
I encountered an issue serving a static HTML template after deploying it with Docker containerization and I think that the documentation is a bit unclear.
Let me quote it first
In the example above, /static is an absolute path. If your static files are stored relative to your crate and your project is managed by Rocket, use the relative! macro to obtain a path that is relative to your crate’s root.
Actually relative!("static") seems to produce an absolute path out of the relative one, so finally I had to omit the relative! even though it was counter-intuitive.
System Checks
- I confirmed that the issue still exists on
masteron GitHub. - I was unable to find a previous report of this problem.
