example_chat doesn't work, down't load example_chat.html

[bigOconstant]

Attempting to run the example code example_chat results in Template "example_chat.html" not found error.

git clone [email protected]:CrowCpp/Crow.git
mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

make

./examples/example_chat

Navigate to http://0.0.0.0:40080/

Receive error that it can't find html file

This is because the template location is relative to where your working directory, meaning it's trying to find example_chat.html in /build/ rather than /build/examples/, just navigate to examples and run the application from there.

Also tried that. Still doesn't work

This is interesting, I just tested it and it worked on my machine

I tried using absolute file path and I get the same error.

Im on latest manjaro. What are you running?

I can make a dockerfile to reproduce it, if I can't reproduce it in docker i'll just use docker

Alright I figured out the issue, the path has to be relative to the templates directory (relative to the working directory still), there's a problem where example_chat.html is being copied to examples rather than examples/templates/, I'll submit a fix soon, thanks for reporting the issue!
