Firstly, there must be no space between "//" and "go:embed". Otherwise it's just treated as a regular comment, and you get an empty fs with no error. (Perhaps "go vet" could be enhanced to catch this?)
After fixing this, you'll see the underlying error: main.go:10:12: pattern public: no matching files found For an explanation see https://pkg.go.dev/embed#hdr-Directives "The patterns are interpreted relative to the package directory containing the source file" These means you'll need to move your public/ directory inside the cmd/ directory. (You can't use a symlink; this causes the embed process to fail with error "cannot embed irregular file") After that, it should be OK :-) On Saturday, 2 September 2023 at 09:28:11 UTC+1 Sankar wrote: > I have the following go code where I try to embed a html file from a > public directory and running into HTTP 404.
