What did you do?
v -g -o vdbg cmd/v && vdbg server.v

module main

import vweb

struct App {
    vweb.Context
}

pub fn main() {
    vweb.run<&App>(index(), 8003)
}

fn index() &App {
    mut app:=&App{}
    app.text("test")
    println("request successful")
    return app
}

What did you expect to see?

the server responding with "test"

You might want to change your code into

module main

import vweb

struct App {
    vweb.Context
}

fn main() {
    vweb.run(&App{}, 8083)
}

pub fn (mut app App) index() vweb.Result {
    println("request successful")

    return app.text("test")
}

to anyone: please correct me if I'm wrong.

Here's what I understand about the above code:

vweb.run expects an instance of vweb.Context or struct App in this case. Then, you need to implement the index function as the method of the App struct.

The code will compile and give the expected response when you send a request to /.

this works, thanks! just reported that, because the compiler told me to do so :-)

[alwint3r]

My pleasure. I think we can close this issue, no?

[floscodes]

yes, we can! Thanks!

I wouldn't close this issue. C errors should be fixed! Or @floscodes you can close this issue and create a new one with bug label.

Ok, then I will leave it open.
