edited for the ilollar answer(same problem) i have app.coffee :
pp.configure ->
publicDir = "#{__dirname}/public"
app.set "views", viewsDir
app.set "view engine", "jade"
app.use(stylus.middleware debug: true, src: viewsDir, dest: publicDir, compile: compileMethod)
app.use(express.static(publicDir))
compileMethod = (str, path) ->
stylus(str)
.set('filename', path)
.set('compress', true)
app.get "/pag",(req,res) ->
res.render "pag",
title: "test",
in /stylesheet/pag.jade:
...
link(rel='stylesheet', href='pag/css/bootstrap.min.css')
...
when im go to "myserver:9090/pag" the page not load the bootstrap.min.css. i get the following error:
source :(my folder of proyects)/views/pag/css/bootstrap.min.styl
dest : (my folder of proyects)/public/pag/css/bootstrap.min.css
read : (my folder of proyects)/views/pag/css/bootstrap.min.styl
Error: ENOENT, open '(my folder)/views/pag/css/bootstrap.min.styl'
Where am i wrong? i am probably missing something.. any ideas?
First, if you haven't set up ExpressJS to serve static files, you'll want to do that:
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
Then, remove the "public" from your stylesheet call:
link(rel='stylesheet', href='/pag/css/bootstrap.min.css')
You're setting "public" as the app root directory that static files are being served from, so there's no need to specify "public" in your call - "public" is now the root.
Update:
What is your viewsDir set to? Since you've set the Stylus middleware's source to that directory, that's where it is looking for the styl to render.
You're setting "public" as the destination directory - if you include "public" in the call, it'll just make another public directory under public, which isn't what you want.
Try reorganizing the stylesheets in the project to something like this:
/stylesheets
/pag
/css
bootstrap.min.styl
Then change your middleware to this:
app.use(stylus.middleware debug:true, src:'/stylesheets', dest: publicDir, compile: compileMethod)
