Doesn't work in release mode

[fretn]

When I run the sample application from the readme in release mode it doesn't work. when I put the folder example/public/ next to the release binary, it works

Are you sure. Its working for me. You need to run it from the root folder and also have the latest code.
You can also run the tests to see if they are passing. Can you print out logs. Also I've added a logger in the example now. In release mode if it cant find the directory it should fail compilation.
Also I'm using the latest nightly haven't tried it on stable though.

why do you need to run if from the root folder in release mode, shouldn't the files be embedded which results in the fact that it doesn't matter where you run the binary from ?

I just ran your latest version and it works with cargo run --release --example rocket but if I run the compiled binary in a different pwd the files are not found. I'm running latest nightly (1.26.0) now

Hmmm.. You're right mate. I thought it loads the files at compile time into a hash in the binary. Need to find out why this is not happening.

[pyrossh]

Well it seems rust macro's don't allow executing code at compile time. Thought there could be a hack for this. I guess then I need to use custom_derive to get this working. Will need to think about the new implementation with breaking api changes.

[fretn]

Okay good luck, I’ll keep an eye on this project

[pyrossh]

@fretn Thanks for reporting this issue. Totally overlooked the asset bundling part in release mode. Fixed now and re-implemented in the version 1.1.0 please test it out.

[fretn]

it works now, thanks for the quick response
