"Cannot GET /" error using Roots - CoffeeScript

Question

I am using Roots to develop an app, as I run roots watch command, then it compiles successfully and opens the localhost:1111 page, but with the error below:

Cannot GET /

This is how my app.coffee file looks like, though I looked for a fix for this in SOF and none of them seemed to work for this case.

axis         = require 'axis'
rupture      = require 'rupture'
autoprefixer = require 'autoprefixer-stylus'
js_pipeline  = require 'js-pipeline'
css_pipeline = require 'css-pipeline'

module.exports =
  ignores: ['readme.md', '**/layout.*', '**/_*', '.gitignore', 'ship.*conf']

  extensions: [
    js_pipeline(files: 'assets/js/*.coffee'),
    css_pipeline(files: 'assets/css/*.styl')
  ]

  stylus:
    use: [axis(), rupture(), autoprefixer()]
    sourcemap: true

  'coffee-script':
    sourcemap: true

  jade:
    pretty: true

Is it a different solution since this is CoffeeScript instead of JS?

Answer 1

So it turns out to be the fact that I needed to cd project-name after I have done roots new project-name, and then only roots watch would work.

Such a rookie mistake, but a good lesson.
