SInatra cannot find the static assets in the public folder

[planon]

I have an ordinary Sinatra app. I configured it using the readme file,
and started it using "rackup -p 4567." The problem is it cannot find
any of the assets in the public folder. I tried setting the static
assets folder's name differently, but that didn't work really. Here is
a few snippets of code from my app:

#config.ru
require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler'
require 'sinatra'
require 'jammit'

Bundler.require
Jammit.package!

require File.expand_path('./stick.rb')
run Stick

#stick.rb
class Stick < Sinatra::Base
get '/' do
haml :index
end
end

No idea what's going on and why it cannot find the assets in the
public folder.

1. don't require 'sinatra', require 'sinatra/base' instead
2. add `enable :static`

I am having this issues too.
Already tried "enable :static", but didn't work.
Using Bundler.

Anyone has any ideas?

All right, I figured it out.
I guess depending on how you call the app, sinatra might loose some
references on what is the root of the app, so there's :

set :root, File.dirname(__FILE__)

to correct that.

I found that here: http://www.sinatrarb.com/configuration.html

I guess it would be a good practice always set the root this way, just
in case.

Add `set :app_file, __FILE__`.
