Hello, same thing happened with me.
Using:

go.12
packr2 v2.2.0
Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya

I should note that my code was working fine with packr 1

I have the same issue, inside a Buffalo app.

When I put my "index.html" file inside the "public" folder, I get redirected to an invalid location. At the same time, requesting other files (or skipping packr and loading from the filesystem directly) works.

@sagikazarmark I looked at the issue but not sure what to make out of that?

[sagikazarmark]

As far as I can tell it's the same issue. I posted my findings and a possible workaround there, but it turned out later there is already a PR for the issue.

Has there been any updates to this issue? I am also running into this same issue using Go v1.12.4 and Packr v2.3.2 and run into the same redirect loop with a URL like http://localhost:3000//.

I am using the same script as is directed in the v2 README for serving static web files from a binary:

package main

import (
	"net/http"

	"github.com/gobuffalo/packr/v2"
)

func main() {
	box := packr.New("someBoxName", "./templates")

	http.Handle("/", http.FileServer(box))
	http.ListenAndServe(":3000", nil)
}

I also noticed the PR from @nlepage above, I will test this to see if it fixes my issues - has there been any updates to its status?
