Cannot identify directory

[goparklubanic]

This plugin used in cordova project, then the app deployed into Android 11 phone. The www_root is newly created directory.
When a client open access the server, always got response:
INTERNAL ERRROR: serveFile(): given homeDir is not a directory.
So, what should be modified?

I'm having the same issue, I don't know what to put in the www_root option...

Finally, I found out that the relative paths are relative to the android/app/src/main/assets/www directory. This is hard-coded in the library. After putting my files in that location, the server worked with no issues.

If you are using Capacitor, the assets are copied into android/app/src/main/assets/public, and can't be accessed by the webserver, unless you use a full filesystem path (I guess). In my case it was better so simply copy the files to www.

My code is something like this (in a Ionic/Angular + Capacitor app):

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { File } from '@awesome-cordova-plugins/file/ngx';
import { InAppBrowser } from '@awesome-cordova-plugins/in-app-browser/ngx';
import { Platform } from '@ionic/angular';
import { IonButton, IonContent, IonHeader, IonTitle, IonToolbar } from '@ionic/angular/standalone';

declare var cordova: any;

@Component({
  selector: 'app-home',
  templateUrl: 'home.page.html',
  styleUrls: ['home.page.scss'],
  standalone: true,
  imports: [IonHeader, IonToolbar, IonTitle, IonContent, IonButton],
  providers: [InAppBrowser, File],
})
export class HomePage implements OnInit {
  localServerUrl: string = '';

  constructor(
    private iab: InAppBrowser,
    private platform: Platform,
    private file: File
  ) {}

  async ngOnInit() {
    await this.platform.ready();
    this.startLocalServer();
  }

  startLocalServer() {
    const options = {
      www_root: '', // Sets android/app/src/main/assets/www as webroot
      port: 8083,
      localhost_only: true, // Restrict to localhost
    };

    cordova.plugins.CorHttpd.startServer(
      options,
      (url: string) => {
        console.log('Local server started at:', url);
        this.localServerUrl = url;
        this.loadContent();
      },
      (error: any) => {
        console.error('Error starting server:', error);
      }
    );
  }

  loadContent() {
    const iframe: HTMLIFrameElement | null =
      document.querySelector('#iframe');
    if (iframe) {
      const srcUrl = `${this.localServerUrl}/index.htmll`; // will serve android/app/src/main/assets/www/index.html
      console.log(`Setting iframe src to ${srcUrl}`);
      iframe.src = srcUrl;
    }
  }
}
