I've been trying to debug my route in my express app. The request is undefined but not sure why.
I'm using Express 4.0 but running it Express 3.0 style (no bin/www).
server.js
var app = require('./app')
var port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.set('port', port);
app.listen(app.get('port', function(){
console.log('Express web server is listening on port ' + app.get('port'));
}));
app.js
var express = require('express'),
path = require('path'),
routes = require('./routes/index'),
app = express();
app.use('/', routes);
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
module.exports = app;
routes/index.js
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
router.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.render('index', { title: 'Express' });
});
module.exports = router;
When I run debug on my app in webstorm, the page throws a 404 page not found. When I looked at the debug, here's the problem, the http request is undefined:
Make sure your app.listen... looks as follows
app.listen(app.get('port'), function() {
console.log('Express web server is listening on port ' + app.get('port'));
});
