Cannot match any routes. URL Segment: 'robots.txt'

[apoklyak]

I downloaded this Angular universal starter.

Installed all dependencies from package.json and tried to launch project. For first I ran 'ng build' command and after that ran next command "npm run build:ssr && npm run serve:ssr"

All works well, but sometimes I catch in terminal next message:

How can I fix this? To catch this message I click on the refresh button in the browser much times.

go to /dist/browser and create file robots.txt

All static file must be in /dist/browser
app.get('*.*', express.static(join(DIST_FOLDER, 'browser')));
