Go app runs fine locally, produces 404 when running goapp serve - google-app-engine

I have a written a REST API using the Gorilla mux package and all data is stored in a MySQL database. I'm using the go-sql-driver/mysql package to access it.
When I compile and run the bin directly, it works as expected.
This is my first attepmt at deploying about to google cloud services, so I'm not familair with any special setup thatr needs to occur to make this work.
All code can be found at cobraclamp/hotswapper-api
NOTE: I'm aware that the InitDB in main has boilerplate credentials, they are properly set in the local and production projects

I haven't trawled through all your code, but I guess the problem is you initialise your router in main.
As per the App Engine go SDK docs and the Gorilla mux docs, you need to do this in an init() function:
Or, for Google App Engine, register it in a init() function:
func init() {
http.Handle("/", router)
}
If you don't do this I guess your app will get a 404 for any route.

Configure React Dev Server within an ASP.NET Core Application

I have an existing ASP.NET Core application (that uses razor pages) and I am trying to convert it, one component at a time, to React until I can completely make it a SPA. The idea is to create an entry point for each of my razor pages until I can combine them all into one SPA. I have most of this working except for the use of webpack-dev-server to serve my bundles. The problem I am having is the ASP.NET app runs on port 44321 and the dev server runs on port 8080 so the script tags in my .cshtml files cannot see the bundles that are being hosted from webpack.
I can temporarily change them from:
<script src="./dist/[name].bundle.js"></script>
To something like:
<script src="http://localhost:8080/[name].bundle.js"></script>
To get around this, but this is not long term solution.
I have created a sample application to showcase what I am trying to accomplish here: https://github.com/jkruse24/AspNetReact.
Is there any way to either get my ASP.Net application to listen on the port that webpack-dev-server is serving to (without changing my script tags) or to have my webpack-dev-server serve to the port that my ASP.Net app is running on?
I have tried to use the .NET CORE SPA middleware (Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaProxy) but either I have not configured it correctly or I am misunderstanding what it is used for. Upon adding in the below code (which is commented out in my github sample) my application still looks at the .\dist directory for my bundles (which are still there from running actual builds).
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseSpa(spa =>
{
spa.Options.SourcePath = "./ClientApp";
spa.UseReactDevelopmentServer(npmScript: "start");
spa.UseProxyToSpaDevelopmentServer("http://localhost:8080");
});
}
I ended up getting this working using the .NET Core SPA Middleware. When I originally tried to used the middleware, it was working fine, but I didn't have my webpack dev server configured to serve my bundles to the correct location.
As you can see above, I was serving them to
http://localhost:8080/[name].bundle.js
when they needed to be served to
http://localhost:8080/dist/[name].bundle.js
My problem was that my webpack publicPath was not set correctly. I made an update commit on my repository here. More specifically, this was the file diff that solved my problem.

Error while deploying react based SSR app, using firebase-functions

I am trying to deploy my SSR app in Firebase originally forked from, after doing some modification in the app.
Which works fine when I do sudo firebase serve --only functions,hosting but throwing error when I do firebase deploy.
The reproducible repo has a package.json.
I am using the public directory as my function directory as well.
However, even if I am using a different function directory for my cloud functions, I see the same errors.
Function failed on loading user code. Error message:
Code in file index.js can't be loaded. Is there a syntax error in your code?
Detailed stack trace: TypeError: c(...) is not a function
at Object.<anonymous> (/user_code/assets/app.server.js:1:28950)
at Object.module.exports.n (/user_code/assets/app.server.js:1:29283)
...
Functions deploy had errors.
To continue deploying other features (such as database), run:
firebase deploy --except functions
Error: Functions did not deploy properly.
It is possible, but you cannot serve static assets with cloud functions. You need a mix of firebase functions and firebase hosting.
The guys at Firebase already thought on this and you also have an implementation available.
Check the following documentation:
Overview
Dynamic Content
Code Example
Youtube Video
Note: There is a delay that you need to take into consideration when using cloud functions.
When a new instance handles its first request, the response time suffers, which is called a cold start
More info
The problem is that firebase hosting only supports SPAs, which means that SSR is out of the picture, you need to run your SSR server in a different env where you can run nextJS, or if you're using a static page generator you could upload the files directly compromising on the ability to refresh the content, although, I'm sure a solution with cloud functions and gatsby is feasable.
Tl;DR: You won't get SSR out of Firebase Hosting

Cannot GET index.html Azure Linux Web App

We created a Linux Web App in Microsoft Azure. The application is static written with React (html and Javascript).
We copied the code into the wwwroot folder, but the application only showing only hostingstart.html and when we try to get page index.html we have this error:
Cannot GET /index.html
We tried with a sample of Azure in GitHub (https://github.com/Azure-Samples/html-docs-hello-world) but the error is the same.
The url is this: https://consoleadmin.azurewebsites.net/index.html
Last week the application was running correctly.
We forget to do something?
MAY 2020 - You don't have to add any javascript files or config files anywhere. Let me explain.
I was facing this exact same issue and wasted 6 hours trying everything including the most popular answer to this question. While the accepted answer is a nice workaround (but requires more work than just adding the index.js file), there's something a simpler than that.
You see, when you just deploy an Azure Web App (or App Service as it is also called), two things happen:
The web app by default points to opt/startup/hostingstart.html
It also puts a hostingstart.html in home/site/wwwroot
When you deploy your code, it replaces hostingstart.html in home/site/wwwroot but the app is still pointing to opt/startup/hostingstart.html. If you want to verify this, try deleting opt/startup/hostingstart.html file and your web app will throw a "CANNOT GET/" error.
So how to change the default pointer? It's simpler than it looks:
Go to Configuration tab on your web app and add the following code to startup script:
pm2 serve /home/site/wwwroot --no-daemon
If this web app is a client-side single-page-app and you're having issues with routing, then add --spa to the above command as follows:
pm2 serve /home/site/wwwroot --no-daemon --spa
This will tell the web app to serve wwwroot folder. And that's it.
Image for reference:
Screenshot explaination
PS: If you only set the startup script without deploying your code, it will still show the hostingstart.html because by default that file lies in the wwwroot folder.
Ok you are gonna love this. This happened to me today also. Same exact thing.
I am pretty sure the azure team flipped a switch somewhere and we fell through a crack.
I found this obscure answer with no votes and it did the trick (with a little extra finagling)
BONUS! this also fixed my router issues I was having only on the deployed site (not local):

From #stormwild's post see here:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/waws/2017/09/08/things-you-should-know-web-apps-and-linux/#NodeHome
Steps:
Go to your azure portal, select your app service and launch ssh
In ssh terminal, navigate via command line to /home/site/wwwroot
create index.js there with the following code:
var express = require('express');
var server = express();
var options = {
index: 'index.html'
};
server.use('/', express.static('/home/site/wwwroot', options));
server.listen(process.env.PORT);
NOTE: Be sure to run npm install --save express also in this folder else your app service will crash on startup
Be sure to restart your app service if it doesn't do so automagically
A workaround, I changed the webapp stack to PHP 7
Another solution would be to add a file called ecoysystem.config.js right next to your index.html file.
module.exports = {
apps: [
{
script: "npx serve -s"
}
]
};
This will tell pm2 to associate all requests to index.html as your app service starts up.

$http.get returns index.html using Ionic v1 and Firebase hosting

We currently have a Ionic v1 project that calls an API implemented as a Google App Engine application. This Ionic app runs with Ionic serve, PhoneGap, and when deployed to Android/iOS.
We are now trying to deploy to the web using Firebase hosting.
The initial HTML/JS code all runs correctly until we reach an $http.get call to the Google App Engine. What happens then is that the request reaches the GAE server and is processed correctly there with a response being sent back. But in the client code, the response.data property is the contents of the Firebase application’s index.html rather than the response that was supplied from GAE.
We don’t know why this is happening, or how to fix it, but here are some relevant facts:
When we run the app on a device using PhoneGap or via the Google Playstore, the URL by which we access GAE is the same URL if we were accessing GAE from a browser. But, when we run the app via “ionic serve” we must use a proxy to work around a CORS issue. What we do is to specify a simplified URL in the Ionic code, and then provide a mapping of that simplified URL to the GAE’s actual URL in a file called “ionic.project” which looks something like this:
{
"name": "proxy-example",
"app_id": "",
"proxies": [
{
"path": "/api",
"proxyUrl": "http://cors.api.com/api"
}
]
}
When we attempt to deploy the app via either “firebase deploy” or “firebase serve” we must use the proxy version of the URL in our $http.get call. Otherwise the call does not reach the GAE server at all. It is not clear how Firebase knows to use “ionic.project” for the proxy mapping.
We are not using “Angularfire”, only the standard AngularJS library that is packaged with Ionic 1.x
Thanks for any help you can offer.

service worker canceling out REST urls

just started working with reactjs recently, month or two..not a pro but can find my way around.. I am using create ract app (quickie ,that ships with service-worker) and my setup is such that I am deploying react app in the root of my java REST application, so all my service rest calls are in relative format, e.g /rest/myservice/123 etc.. and they work just fine..
but recently I started getting strange errors, and rest calls stopped working..
if I execute RET URL from browser .... nothing happens index loads... when I test with postman REST works just fine it also works in safari or if url is localhost... ...so after hours of frustration i discovered that service worker doing its .... caching . my rest calls are getting intercepted and they never make it to server... and there is nowhere that it mentions about how to overcome it, neither in service worker docs nor in create-react-app docs ...nothing is mentioned about this use case...... this is so pathetic...
I figured it out after numerous trail and errors... but it did not stop there..
I went ahead and deleted the service-worker registration entry from index.js also deleted service-worker file and rebuild the app. well service-worker.js file is still there... it showed up in build folder after I rebuild the project..... what is it with create-react-app did they got paid by google to include service-worker? or what is going on? why can not I remove it? and how do I prevent it from canceling my rest url calls?
when I type : https://xxxx.io/x/referal/refCode/3429878 it just loads application...
what else am I missing?
got the answer over #Redit needed to unregister worker...
