staticDir with configurable public dir

[jerrygzy]

hi, I am having a error with configurable public dir in the following code.

main.nim

serve("0.0.0.0", 5000):
  let public_dir = "happy"
  #staticDir public_dir ~ "js,json,css"  #  this failed to serve files !!
  staticDir "happy" ~ "js,json,css"  
  get "/":
    {.gcsafe.}:
      return mainPage(public_dir, inCookies) 
  get "/{title:string}":
    return userPage(title,public_dir,inCookies) 

ideally I would write my code like below

main.nim

# Init DB & public dir
let config = configServer()


# Server Loop
serve("0.0.0.0", 5000):
  let public_dir = config["domain_name"]
  staticDir public_dir ~ "js,json,css"
  get "/":
    {.gcsafe.}:
      return mainPage(public_dir, inCookies) 
  get "/{title:string}":
    return userPage(title,public_dir,inCookies) 

but I got error below

Error: 'main' is not GC-safe as it accesses 'config' which is a global using GC'ed memory

I'll check it soon

If you found bug - please, create issue, not discussion

@Ethosa OK

Right usage with latest version:

serve "0.0.0.0", 5000:
  # Initialize variables before server loop
  let config = configServer()
  let public_dir = config["domain_name"]

  staticDir public_dir ~ "js,json,css"

  get "/":
    {.gcsafe.}:
      return mainPage(public_dir, inCookies) 

  get "/{title:string}":
    return userPage(title,public_dir,inCookies)

I just had a try with the new update (happyx-3.6.1-6a642709833c6215635ed01a485fd98ead1f8288)

# Server Loop
serve("0.0.0.0", 5000):
  let public_dir = "public"
  staticDir public_dir ~ "js,json,css"
  get "/":
    #echo inCookies
    {.gcsafe.}:
      return mainPage(public_dir, inCookies) 
  get "/{title:string}":
    return userPage(title,public_dir,inCookies) 

but got error

GET http://localhost:5000/public/js/comp.js net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found)

my file structure is

another try

serve "0.0.0.0", 5000:
  let public_dir = "public"
  #staticDir public_dir  # this way failed
  staticDir "public"  # just this way works...
  get "/":
    #echo inCookies
    {.gcsafe.}:
      return mainPage(public_dir, inCookies) 
  get "/{title:string}":
    return userPage(title,public_dir,inCookies)

Can you give full project in zip or as link to github repo?
Because this works for me:

# Server Loop
serve("0.0.0.0", 5000):
  let public_dir = "public"
  staticDir public_dir ~ "js,json,css"
  get "/":
    #echo inCookies
    {.gcsafe.}:
      return mainPage(public_dir, inCookies) 
  get "/{title:string}":
    return userPage(title,public_dir,inCookies)
