Nunjucks: Not getting template with express JS

[sandiprb]

Have been trying to implement nunjucks with my express app but getting following error in browser.

    {
      "message": "Failed to lookup view \"index\" in views directory \"/home/gblp074/Desktop/projects/API/fsapi/app/views\"",
      "error": {
        "view": {
          "defaultEngine": "nunjucks",
          "ext": ".nunjucks",
          "name": "index",
          "root": "/home/gblp074/Desktop/projects/API/fsapi/app/views"
        }
      }
    }

Did you try using the template name "index.nunjucks" instead of "index"? I'm not sure if we support the 'ext' option. If that doesn't work, could you provide a sample of how you're setting up nunjucks?

I did some modification but it still doesn't work. Here's snippet of some of my setup. Not sure if that's perfect!

router/index.js

router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
    res.render('index',{
        title: 'Index title',
        csrfToken: req.csrfToken(),
        chunkOutput: chunkOutput['main.js']});
});

app.js

var nunjucks  = require('nunjucks');
var app = express();
// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'templates'));
app.set('view engine', 'html');
nunjucks.configure('views', {
    autoescape: true,
    express: app
});

However now I'm getting following error while I run app, I'm getting following error on index

{
  "message": "template not found: index.html",
  "error": {   
  }
}

// no need to set this with express here, nunjucks does it's own path handling
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'templates'));
app.set('view engine', 'html');

// the first argument to nunjucks is the path to the folder
// in this case you're telling it to use ./views
nunjucks.configure('views', {
    autoescape: true,
    express: app
});

this should work

app.set('view engine', 'html');
nunjucks.configure(path.join(__dirname, 'templates'), {
    autoescape: true,
    express: app
});

See the api docs for using configure: https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/api.html#configure
