Flask static files getting 404

I've just had the same problem and eventually solved it like that:

Edit: Main parts that i did to solve it -

Project Structure:

server.py:

from server.AppStarter import AppStarter
import os

static_folder_root = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)), "client")

app = AppStarter()
app.register_routes_to_resources(static_folder_root)
app.run(__name__)

AppStarter.py:

from flask import Flask, send_from_directory
from flask_restful import Api, Resource
from server.ApiResources.TodoList import TodoList
from server.ApiResources.Todo import Todo


class AppStarter(Resource):
    def __init__(self):
        self._static_files_root_folder_path = ''  # Default is current folder
        self._app = Flask(__name__)  # , static_folder='client', static_url_path='')
        self._api = Api(self._app)

    def _register_static_server(self, static_files_root_folder_path):
        self._static_files_root_folder_path = static_files_root_folder_path
        self._app.add_url_rule('/<path:file_relative_path_to_root>', 'serve_page', self._serve_page, methods=['GET'])
        self._app.add_url_rule('/', 'index', self._goto_index, methods=['GET'])

    def register_routes_to_resources(self, static_files_root_folder_path):

        self._register_static_server(static_files_root_folder_path)
        self._api.add_resource(TodoList, '/todos')
        self._api.add_resource(Todo, '/todos/<todo_id>')

    def _goto_index(self):
        return self._serve_page("index.html")

    def _serve_page(self, file_relative_path_to_root):
        return send_from_directory(self._static_files_root_folder_path, file_relative_path_to_root)

    def run(self, module_name):
        if module_name == '__main__':
            self._app.run(debug=True)

i'm just trying this stuff out for the first time so you can check out my project progress on my repo in github: https://github.com/danfromisrael/TodoApp-Flask-Angular

Set _static_folder location against Flask.

app = Flask(__name__)
app._static_folder = <path to to your static directory>
