Error running default boilerplate app

[guldner]

I'm following the Get Started pages. When I start the server (default settings) I observe two errors. (Previous steps did not display any errors)

1. Visiting http://localhost:9966 results in a 404 error. Adding /index.html works. The index.jade file is served.
2. Request for the stylesheet /css/main.css results in a 404 error. The less file is not compiled.

I'm on Windows 7. Harp version 0.8.13.

regarding (2.): see issue #46 and pull request #47.

I have observed (1.) too, but not yet searched for a fix.

I am also experiencing issue 1 so I get a 404 error when starting the server together with a suggestion to add a 404.jade file. When I add the 404.jade file (replicating the exact same contacts as index.jade), the _layout.jade file is rendered fine (but not in the absence of the 404.jade file).

Additionally, adding a index.html file results in just the contents of the index.html file being rendered.

Also on Windows 7 and 0.8.13.

Good catch guys. We will get to the bottom of it.

Basically, issues #72 has always been an issue on Windows. @guldner, @grabbeh and @k5e were onto this way earlier, thanks everyone. Unfortunately I didn’t make the connection between those two problems until now.

The default app’s missing CSS on Windows isn’t an issue with the path. The LESS file is just never compiled to CSS and is served as a plain text .less file instead.

@guldner, @grabbeh & @k5e: Thanks for your patience with this! As of v0.9.4, Harp now supports Windows. If you have a moment to try it out, please let us know how it goes.
