`play dist`, the `main.css` returns 404

Create a new sample play2 app:

play new test

Then:

cd test
play run

Visit http://localhost:9000, we can see the default home page displayed correctly.

But when I dist it:

play dist

And upload the generated dist/test-1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip to the server and unzip it, and run:

cd test-1.0.SNAPSHOT
./start

Then visit http://myserver:9000, I found the css file can't be found.

GET http://myserver:9000/assets/stylesheets/main.css
404

Since the app is built-in example provided by play2, doesn't mean it's a bug of play2?

PS:

The routes file:

# Map static resources from the /public folder to the /public path
GET     /assets/*file                       controllers.Assets.at(path="/public", file)

And the Assets.scala provided by play2 is:

object Assets extends Controller {

  def at(path: String, file: String): Action[AnyContent] = Action { request =>

    val resourceName = Option(path + "/" + file).map(name => 
        if (name.startsWith("/")) name else ("/" + name)).get

    if (new File(resourceName).isDirectory 
       || !new File(resourceName).getCanonicalPath.startsWith(new File(path).getCanonicalPath)) {
      NotFound
    } else {
    ...
  }

  ...
}

Seems play is trying to find a dir and a file existing on the disk, but that public directory is packaged in test-1.0-SANPSHOT/libs/test_2.9.1-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar, not a real file.

Solved for me : simply check that the file main.css is not empty.

It can't find that CSS file even if you do "play run", so it's nothing to do with it being packaged in a jar.
