Preflight Checklist
- I have read the
Contributing Guidelines
for this project. - I agree to follow the
Code of Conduct
that this project adheres to. - I have searched the issue tracker for an issue that matches the one I want
to file, without success.
Description of the problem
I created a Code Sandbox with the TypeScript starter. I added a static folder and placed two files in there. The file bla.js and test.txt. When I try to fetch those files only test.txt is delivered. As you can see here:
- https://zvik0.csb.app/static/bla.js --> fails
- https://zvik0.csb.app/static/test.txt --> works
How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?
I need to load a js file from the static directory. The example from above is only a toy-example to illustrate the issue but in reality I try to load a JavaScript module that was compiled from C/C++ with emscripten to JavaScript.
To Reproduce
Try to access one of the following files:
- https://zvik0.csb.app/static/bla.js --> fails
- https://zvik0.csb.app/static/test.txt --> works

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Reproduce the behavior with the linked sandbox and compare delivery of /static/bla.js with /static/test.txt. Trace the static-file delivery entry point to find why JavaScript files are rejected or omitted. Done means JavaScript files in a sandbox's static folder are fetchable like the text file.
