I have this route: app.get(‘/:a/:b/:c’, routes.get); And this static definition: app.use(‘/test’, express.static(__dirname + ‘/test’));

I have this route:
app.get('/:a/:b/:c', routes.get);

And this static definition:

app.use('/test', express.static(__dirname + '/test')); 

Now, the problem arises when I try to access /test/a/b.js. Since it matches both paths, routes.get is triggered. How do I prevent this, and only route if a static resource file wouldn’t be served otherwise?

    Put app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/test')) before app.use(app.router).

    Middleware runs in the order defined in .configure().
