Online compiler with node.js - node.js

Question

I am trying to build an online compiler IDE and I always get an error that I can't understand or solve. the project/application consists of (index.html - package.json - app.js) the "app.js" refers to the server side which surely causes this error ("File not found: Firefox can’t find the file at /C:/Users/Mr_Tech/Desktop/online_judge_system/compilecode"). this is the code:
// including all packages and modules that will be used
var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var compiler = require('compilex');
// create a app variable for using express packages and body-parser
var app = express();
//app.use(bodyParser());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }))
//Then initialize comiler options from compilex package and link "/" root page with the "index.html".
var option = {stats : true};
compiler.init(option);
app.get('/' , function (req , res ) {
res.sendfile(__dirname +"/index.html");
});
// define the post funtion for the language you want your compiler to have and with input or without input options
app.post('\compilecode' , function (req , res ) {
var code = req.body.code;
var input = req.body.input;
var inputRadio = req.body.inputRadio;
var lang = req.body.lang;
if((lang === "C") || (lang === "C++"))
{
if(inputRadio === "true")
{
var envData = { OS : "windows" , cmd : "g++"};
compiler.compileCPPWithInput(envData , code ,input , function (data) {
if(data.error)
{
res.send(data.error);
}
else
{
res.send(data.output);
}
});
}
else
{
var envData = { OS : "windows" , cmd : "g++"};
compiler.compileCPP(envData , code , function (data) {
if(data.error)
{
res.send(data.error);
}
else
{
res.send(data.output);
}
});
}
}
if(lang === "Java")
{
if(inputRadio === "true")
{
var envData = { OS : "windows" };
console.log(code);
compiler.compileJavaWithInput( envData , code , function(data){
res.send(data);
});
}
else
{
var envData = { OS : "windows" };
console.log(code);
compiler.compileJavaWithInput( envData , code , input , function(data){
res.send(data);
});
}
}
if( lang === "Python")
{
if(inputRadio === "true")
{
var envData = { OS : "windows"};
compiler.compilePythonWithInput(envData , code , input , function(data){
res.send(data);
});
}
else
{
var envData = { OS : "windows"};
compiler.compilePython(envData , code , function(data){
res.send(data);
});
}
}
}); // end POST function
// set the port for the server to listen and and define the get function to send the output data generated after the executed code to the server.
app.get('/fullStat' , function(req , res ){
compiler.fullStat(function(data){
res.send(data);
});
});
app.listen(8000);
// function to delete all the temporary files created during the process
compiler.flush(function(){
console.log('All temporary files flushed !');
});

Nope. The problem is you are using a file:// path when this needs to be run as a HTTP server and you need to go to localhost:8000. You also used a backslash as a web path which is invalid.
