Home > Article > Backend Development > Issue using wails asset handler with custom router
I'm trying to use a custom multiplexer with the wails asset handler, but when trying to get anything I keep getting index.html page. I added a print statement at the top of the muxer's servehttp function, but this is only called once when the favicon.ico is fetched at the beginning of the program.
I have the following main file:
package main import ( "embed" "fmt" "github.com/nigel2392/router/v3" "github.com/nigel2392/router/v3/request" "github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2" "github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/pkg/options" "github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/pkg/options/assetserver" ) var router *router.router = router.newrouter(true) func init() { router.get("/about", func(r *request.request) { fmt.println("about") r.writestring("about") }) } //go:embed all:frontend/dist var assets embed.fs func main() { // create an instance of the app structure app := newapp() // create application with options err := wails.run(&options.app{ title: "new", width: 1024, height: 768, assetserver: &assetserver.options{ assets: assets, handler: router, }, backgroundcolour: &options.rgba{r: 27, g: 38, b: 54, a: 1}, onstartup: app.startup, bind: []interface{}{ app, }, }) if err != nil { println("error:", err.error()) } }
I can see the following output in the terminal:
deb | [externalassethandler] loading 'http://localhost:3000/favicon.ico' deb | [externalassethandler] loading 'http://localhost:3000/favicon.ico' failed, using assethandler # print statement at the top of the servehttp function, # prints the requested path, and the available router paths. path: /favicon.ico get /about -> deb | [externalassethandler] loading 'http://localhost:3000/about' to develop in the browser and call your bound go methods from javascript, navigate to: http://localhost:34115 deb | [externalassethandler] loading 'http://localhost:3000/@vite/client' deb | [externalassethandler] loading 'http://localhost:3000/node_modules/vite/dist/client/env.mjs' deb | [externalassethandler] loading 'http://localhost:3000/about' deb | [externalassethandler] loading 'http://localhost:3000/@vite/client' deb | [externalassethandler] loading 'http://localhost:3000/node_modules/vite/dist/client/env.mjs' deb | [externalassethandler] loading 'http://localhost:3000/about'
When trying to get the page in question for testing, as described in the wails assetserver documentation, I retrieve the index page:
let resp = await fetch("/about") undefined await resp.text() '<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html lang="en">\n<head>\n \x3Cscript type="module" src="/@vite/client">\x3C/script>\n\n <meta charset="UTF-8"/>\n <meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" name="viewport"/>\n <meta name="wails-options" content="noautoinject" />\n \x3Cscript src="/wails/ipc.js">\x3C/script>\n \x3Cscript src="/wails/runtime.js">\x3C/script>\n <title>new</title>\n</head>\n<body>\n <h1>Index!</h1>\n <a href="/about">Go To About!</a>\n</body>\n</html>\n'
Why is the servehttp function not called?
The log shows that externalassethandler
is used. This means using an external front-end development server. All resource requests are first forwarded to the external front-end development server. The handler specified in assetserver.options
will be used only when the external front-end development server responds with a 404
or 405
status code. Today, most spa front-end development servers serve index.html
for non-asset requests. This is why you see this behavior.
The workaround is to configure the external front-end development server to bypass this request. For vite, modify the configuration file and add the following content:
export default defineConfig({ server: { proxy: { '/about': { bypass: function () { // Return false to produce a 404 error for the request. return false; }, }, // or for all the requests that start with "/api/" '/api/': { bypass: function () { return false; }, }, }, }, });
But I recommend not to do this. Because the asset handler, as the name suggests, provides services for dynamic assets. wails has its own way of calling the bound go method . You should try it.
