Updated ng-cli with working draft now "Can not GET /"?
I had a working cli project that was built with the beta.21 version of the cli. I wanted to update it to use the latest cli project structure, so I created a new project with cli ( v.1.0.0 ). Then I essentially put the contents of my existing project app file into a new project and went from there.
Strange, but my new project builds seamlessly and produces the sizes and chunks that I expected. If I run an express based backend that serves the contents of a directory ./dist
, then my application works as expected. However, if I run ng serve
I get an error Cannot GET /
in the browser.
I'm really not sure what might have caused this (my biggest suspicion is that my project has a file structure with client/src/app
and not the default one src/app
, however I changed all references to the file path I could find and how the build works, I guess it's good)?
Any ideas / suggestions for further debugging?
