错误：无法查找视图“索引”

Question

I tried following various other threads but none of them helped. I am trying to render ejs files, using express app. But on listening on the port it show the following error.

Error

My File Structure

- Workspace
   - client 
      - css
      - js
   - views
      - login.ejs
      - index.ejs
  - server.js

Small snippet of Code:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var server = http.createServer(app);
app.set('views', path.resolve(__dirname, '/views'));
app.set('view engine', 'ejs'); // set up ejs for templating
app.listen(8080);

    app.get('/', function(req, res) {
        res.render('login.ejs'); // load the login.ejs file
    });


    app.get('/index', function(req, res) {
      res.render('index.ejs')
    });

Answer 1

Hope this can help. Here, they are giving the complete path to the ejs file. https://www.google.co.in/amp/scotch.io/amp/tutorials/use-ejs-to-template-your-node-application

Answer 2

Use path.join instead of path.resolve, Because path.resolve will result in /views .

Try using path.join(__dirname + '/views'). Do not forget to put const path = require('path').

Answer 3

You can use this one.

var express = require('express')
var http = require('http')
var app = express()
var server = http.createServer(app)
app.set('view engine', 'ejs')
app.listen(8080)

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
   res.render('login')
})
