Error: Unknown handler: directory

[nelsonic]

We are using Hapi.js as our static server using the directory handler:

learn-tdd/static-server.js

Line 3 in 5b132bf

server.route( { method: 'GET', path: '/{param*}', handler: { directory: { path: Path.normalize(__dirname + '/') } } });

but when we attempt to upgrade to hapi v9.x we get:

Error: Unknown handler: directory

full stack trace:

Apparently we need to manually register the plugin in order to serve a directory now...

Just got this error and DWYL was the #1 result in my google search @nelsonic ;) 💯

Guess I'm finally going to figure out the new version of Hapi.

Gotta love SEO for random github issues. 😉
Glad you've got it working.
