Build not working when opening the page manually. about react-snapshot

[geelen]

Not sure about the second, but the first is definitely because you're opening it as a file rather than through a web server. You can use https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-server-for-chrome/ofhbbkphhbklhfoeikjpcbhemlocgigb?hl=en or https://anvilformac.com/ or just a command line web server like https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server

Fire it up and see if the second problem goes away too?

@geelen I am sorry I added 2 questions that I think now are unrelated in the same issue, my bad. I just moved the second question to a new issue (#28), and removed it from the description.

Regarding your answer, thanks! That solves the problem for sure! But I am looking for a way of opening it as a file, do you think its possible? For now I can fix the problem by removing the / at the beginning.

While this might be possible (programatically replacing the url at snapshot-time), i think it is unwanted, as this would just replace the injection generated by create-react-app and doesn't really have to do with the static rendering part that react-snapshot does. The pages aren't meant to be opened as files anyway.

You can just use the serve package like described in the create-react-app readme

@kantenkugel @geelen Great answers, thank you very much guys. I actually found out a way of using it like this, the problem had to do with my FTP configuration and not react-snapshot itself.

I am closing the issue as its solved!
