HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile can't find file

I am trying to create a Web App with script and publish it to a web site. I am at the very first experimental level where I want the doGet function to execute

HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('MyPage')

and I get the "Not Found" error.

MyPage is a simple HTML file that outputs "Hello World". If I change the script to

HtmlService.createHtmlOutput('Hello World')

the code executes just fine when the URL is linked. It appears that the HTML file I created for the doGet function to access and output can't be found although I have saved it and saved a version of the project that includes it. Can anyone give me a hint?

The Google developer page explains this fairly well and gives an example to start: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/html/

In a nutshell: HtmlService.createHtmlOutput('x'): instructs GAS to print "x" to the page.

HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('0'): instructs GAS to read and print the code inside of 0.html to the page (*note the use of '0' instead of '0.html' as GAS knows you are pointing to a HTML file.) To create the html file inside of GAS, click the top left "file" button and go "new" -> "html".
