can't find favicon.ico issue in play scala

Question

I have tested a play 2.3.4 app, and in the console it complains the following:

! @6jg7imio5 - Internal server error, for (GET) [/favicon.ico] ->

play.api.App         


        

Answer 1

Every browser looks for favicon.ico when visiting the address. Just add that file to your public folder and add a route:

GET  /favicon.ico   controllers.Assets.at(path="/public", file="favicon.ico")

TIP: it can be also png file - in default new PlayJava or PlayScala project it can be found in public/images/favicon.png

Answer 2

you should denote the path as controllers.Assets.at(path="/public/images", file="favicon.ico")
