Failed to lookup view “error” after reinstalling windows?

Question

Everything in my Node project worked perfectly, but then I decided to reinstall my Windows OS so I copyied all my project to Google drive. After i reinstalled, i went and downloaded my node project back to my desktop, installed node, and now i get this error: Failed to lookup view "error" in views directory "C:\\Users\\Tom\\Desktop\\Node\\views".....Why is this happening?

I have already searched for multiple solutions, but all of them say that this part of the code is to blame:

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname,'../public')));

Answer 1

I found the error. After reinstalling windows and sublime, when I inserted my project, the files got renamed from index.ejs to index.ejs.html.... after getting rid of the ".html", everything worked perfectly.
