Problem serving local files with vweb

[serge-hulne]

Describe the bug

According to V's doc, using vweb, in order to serve static files one just has to add the following line to a server:

app.mount_static_folder_at(os.resource_abs_path('dist'), '/content')

So, for instance: the following server is supposed to serve the content of the local directory ./dist at the address: http://localhost:8080/content

The complet code being :

import os

struct App {
    vweb.Context
}

fn main() {
    mut app := &App{}
    println(os.resource_abs_path('dist'))
    app.mount_static_folder_at(os.resource_abs_path('dist'), '/content')
    vweb.run(&App{}, 8080)
}

["/"]
fn (mut app App) root() vweb.Result {
    return app.text('Hello from root')
}   

Expected Behavior

The server is supposed to serve the content of the local directory ./dist at the address: http://localhost:8080/content

Current Behavior

404 Not Found

Reproduction Steps

println(os.resource_abs_path('dist')) yields

C:\Users\serge\Documents\vue-tests\vue-tests-nomodules\v2\dist

Which is correct, plus:

If you want to serve the content of a directory at a specified route you can do it like this:

// main.v
/*
Directory structure:
├── dist
│   ├── content
│   │   └── index.html
│   └── index.html
└── main.v
*/

module main

import os
import vweb

struct App {
	vweb.Context
}

fn main() {
	mut app := &App{}
	app.mount_static_folder_at(os.resource_abs_path('.'), '/')
	vweb.run(app, 8080)
}

['/']
pub fn (mut app App) index() vweb.Result {
	content := $tmpl('dist/index.html')
	return app.html(content)
}

['/content']
pub fn (mut app App) content() vweb.Result {
	content := $tmpl('dist/content/index.html')
	return app.html(content)
}

Will serve dist/index.html on localhost:8080. And dist/content/index.html on localhost:8080/content.

Let me know if this works for you @serge-hulne
