I am running a NodeJS server which uses a catchall route to serve a file 'index.html'. In that file, I am linking to a javascript file in the same directory. That javascript file is not being correctly loaded. The error in my console reads 'Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected Token <', which after researching seems to mean that the path to my JS file is incorrect. However, the js file is located in the same directory as 'index.html', and I am referencing it like so which should be correct?
Here is my code
server.js
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var config = require('./config');
var apiRouter = express.Router();
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var User = require('./app/models/User');
var jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
var path = require('path');
//Set the public folder
app.use(express.static('/public'));
//Allows us to parse POST data.
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
mongoose.connect(config.db);
var apiRouter = require('./app/routes/api')(app, express);
app.use('/api', apiRouter);
//MEAN apps use a catchall after any routes created by Node.
app.get('*', function(req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'public/app/views/index.html'));
});
app.listen(1337);
console.log('Server started at ' + Date());
public/app/views/index.html
<!doctype html>
<html lang=en>
<head>
<meta charset=UTF-8>
<script src=./test.js></script>
<head>
<body>
<h1>Served by node + express.</h1>
</body>
</html>
public/app/views/test.js
console.log('test.js loaded');
