My Project structure

D:\\xampp\\htdocs\\myproject\\controller\\template

in which emailView.ejs file under template folder

also add in app.js

app.engine('html',require('ejs').renderFile);
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.set('view engine', 'html');

i have found many solution but did not work 1. i removed emailView

( eg :var templateDir = path.join(__dirname, 'template');)

but in which i got

Neither html nor text template files found or are both empty in path template

Answer 1

To troubleshoot, I would try placing the template file in the same directory that the code resides in and move it to where it needs to be when you figure out the issue. No doubt it is a path issue.

Answer 2

It works,i have changed filename to html.ejs and remove 'emailView'
OLD

  var templateDir = path.join(__dirname, 'template','emailView'); 

NEW

  var templateDir = path.join(__dirname, 'template');
