It was moved to the lib/tests/integration_test/server directory.

Epic. Thanks

The decision to move simple_example is because it is really not simple and not an example. It started out to be an example. yes. But ended up piling more and more "features" into that example. Furthermore, out integration test ran against that example. The simple_example became complicated and useless (provides no learning opportunity). So we decided to move it into integration test.

And we created #859 #858 to track our progress on making a new example. To allow newcomers to have a complete to learn from. Anyway #880 adds condensed examples on each feature.

This should be what you are looking for. https://github.com/an-tao/drogon/blob/30671544f725d0460cb4b6fd3b317b1c105663e2/examples/file_upload/file_upload.cc#L14-L38

I understand that this was a little bit unfortunate, but in addition to what @marty1885 already explained, as far as I remember we also discussed this in our official Gitter channel.
