docpad server doesn't work (6.17.1)

[DjebbZ]

So I finally think that the last Docpad update to 6.17.1 broke several stuff.

Now docpad server simply doesn't serve anything. When I navigate to http://localhost:9778 nothing appears, it keeps trying loading until it fails.

Using the --debug option doesn't show anything suspicious, so I didn't include the output.

Could be related to a change in DocPad v6.14 the speed improvements. Before we would just move onto the static middleware if we couldn't find the document, these days we wait until the generation has finished.

Ideally though, we should do a generate before the server, as otherwise things like urls meta data and whatnot will not work correctly as the static middleware is unaware of these things.

For the meantime just use docpad run

Fixed in v6.17.2 which has docpad server perform an initial generation

I confirm it works. Thanks the reactivity !
