Question

With shadynasty.biz/blog/2012/07/30/quick-and-clean-in-go link I am Trying to Create template in go programming. My project Structure is created with the Go-SDK google app engine. google_appengine/myapp/hello/hello.go file is present, then where to create template folder? I created the "template" folder in "hello" folder but getting error "panic: open templates/base.html: The system cannot find the path specified" and server stops running. What can be done?

Answer 1

Actually you do have access to almost any file you put to your application folder.

You could use the ioutil to read the files: http://golang.org/pkg/io/ioutil/#ReadFile

And a point to note, you can only read files not specified by the static handler in app.yaml.

So, keep your template files in one folder and your static and directly served files in another folder.
