Static middleware changed behaviour?

[ghost]

Issue Description

I updated echo in one of my projects. After that my static configuration didn't work without changes. Before it automatically resolved to an existing index.html. After that I had to point to that file.

My code was something like that:

docsGroup := e.Group("")
docsGroup.Static("/", "docs")

In docs is an index.html which was delivered when no path was given.

Now I need to use docsGroup.File("/", "docs/index.html") to make it work again.

The change was somewhere between 4.1.3 and 4.1.5.

I'm running into a similar issue, might be related, started happening after I moved to v4 from v3.

This routes used to work:

e.Static("/", "web/public")
e.Static("/dashboard", "web/public")
e.Static("/sessionexpired", "web/public")

Now only the first route works, the other ones do not. They do work however if I add a trailing slash on the browser.

This should have been fixed with #1563.

@pablote Can you confirm this is fixed for you?

[lammel]

This sounds like a duplicate of #1533

#1568 is also somewhat related which has a similar issue with groups.

I’m not using Echo#Static anymore, I’ve since moved to using the Static middleware, which has the html5 routing functionality that I needed:

e.Use(middleware.StaticWithConfig(middleware.StaticConfig{
		Root:   "web/build",
		HTML5:  true,
		Browse: false,
	}))```

Closing due to original reporting being a ghost now.
