what do you see when you set html_mode = True

and browse to /static?

May I kindly suggest you read the docs on static files? 🙂

#

This is not how they are work in general

#

create_static_files_router creates a router that serves static files

#

You are trying to use the path, that is the HTTP path, of that router as an argument to File, which tries to read that path from disk
