NodeJs as Server for hosting WebGL

I'm trying to build a simple nodejs server to test unity3d on a server.

I tested my empty scene alone and it work pretty well with WebGL.

after this, i've put the file of WebGL in my NodeJS server and i get this error:

Invoking error handler due to UnityLoader.js:1
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

What is causing this error?

Here is my nodejs server code:

Code (JavaScript):

1. import * as http from 'http';
2. import * as express from 'express';
3. import { json, urlencoded } from 'body-parser';
4. import * as compression from 'compression';
5. import * as path from 'path';
6.  
7. const port: number = process.env.port || 1337;
8. const app: express.Application = express();
9. const clientFolder: string = path.join(__dirname, '/client');
10.  
11. app.use(json());
12. app.use(compression());
13. app.use(urlencoded({ extended: true }));
14. app.use(express.static(clientFolder));
15. app.use(defaultRoute);
16.  
17. http
18.     .createServer(app)
19.     .listen(port);
20.  
21. function defaultRoute(req: express.Request, response: express.Response) : void {
22.     response.sendfile(clientFolder + '/index.html');
23. }

EDIT:

My probleme come from those urls

dataUrl: "Release/build.data",
codeUrl: "Release/build.js",
asmUrl: "Release/build.asm.js",
memUrl: "Release/build.mem",


my nodejs return index.html code instead of the files required by unity3d

 

The same issue, Unity help us please!

 

Hi Team Have the same issue.
Any Updates?

 

You should use express static files, you're not serving your client correctly.

For example, this is a server of my own:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var express = require('express');
3. var compression = require('compression');
4. var app = express();
5.  
6. app.use(compression());
7. app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/client/'));
8.  
9. app.listen(80, function(){
10.     console.log("webserver listening!");
11. });

Doing it this way, you will send a whole folder (the client folder). I think your problem is that your express server isn't sending out all the client files.

Edit: nevermind you're using the static files, so idk. My way works flawless!

 

The best thing to do is to change the link from e.g. Release/build.data to https://yourwebsitelink.com/files/Release/build.data

 

Serving the whole webgl folder did not work for me

The error I got was this...

When I enabled Decompress Fallback, however, it did work. In fact, I got it running on an Elastic Beanstalk server. This was my very simple final code:

Code (JavaScript):

1. var express = require('express');
2. var compression = require('compression');
3. var app = express();
4.  
5. app.use(compression());
6. app.use(express.static('client'));
7. app.listen(8080, function(){
8.     console.log("webserver listening at port: " + 8080);
9. });

Hope it helps.
