StaticFiles not hosting files!

[mangodan2003]

Hi. For purposes of reproducing a problem I have in a real world app I have a test directory /opt/webapps/test with the following 2 files inside:

• index.html
• test.hml

I cannot get my app to host / serve these files by their name:

Route(
    "/",
    endpoint=StaticFiles(directory="/opt/webapps/test"),
    name="static",
),

If I add "html=True" argument then accessing / will serve up index.html but neither can be accessed directly by their filename (e.g. http://server:port/test.html results in "not found").

INFO:     10.3.2.6:48434 - "GET /test.html HTTP/1.1" 404 Not Found
INFO:     10.3.2.6:48424 - "GET /index.html HTTP/1.1" 404 Not Found

What am I doing wrong or is this a bug?

I've read this page more times than i can recall trying to figure this out, however it appears I have messed up in reproducing a simplified example and confused Mount vs Route, indeed the example I provided works with this corrected. I was using Mount in the real code but under a more complex context. I now suspect a mistake in that is the cause of the problem.
