static files 404 when in subdirectory of assets

Hello, i am using hono with a cloudflare worker to serve the asset folder 'assets' as seen in the examples:

<p>
  Try visiting: <a href="/my-file.txt">/my-file.txt</a> and <a href="/folder/nested-file.txt">/folder/nested-file.txt</a>
</p>

<p>
  Try visiting: <a href="/my-file.txt">/my-file.txt</a> and <a href="/folder/nested-file.txt">/folder/nested-file.txt</a>
</p>

both files exist in the assets directory (it is the serve-static hono github example) however Hono loads the file my-file.txt from the assets root but /folder/nested-file.txtgives a file not found 404 all config is the standard given here: https://github.com/honojs/examples/tree/main/serve-static i have no idea why even the example is not working. any ideas to try would be great!

is /folder in the public dir? i'd also recommend reading these docs: https://hono.dev/docs/getting-started/cloudflare-workers#serve-static-files

as per the examples it is the "assets" folder, which is configured in the wragler.toml

wrangler.toml

name = "hono-example-basic"
compatibility_date = "2024-09-19"

assets = { directory = "./assets/" }

name = "hono-example-basic"
compatibility_date = "2024-09-19"

assets = { directory = "./assets/" }

Idk that you need all the dots and slashes in the directory name And I don’t think you need to use serveStatic at all

i have not changed the example at all from the example in the github repo, so it is just odd that the example is not working i have fixed the issue. i was running node v18.14.1, but have now updated to lts v22.14.0. all static files are now served. perhaps a minimum node version check should be introduced into hono, i cannot see mention of it on the hono site (could have very well missed it)

cloudflare workers run on the workerd runtime, using wrangler locally no?

i have no idea, but i think whatever node version you use locally, is matched on wrangler deploy as i was having the same issues when the app was deployed
