How to deal with JsRender error exceptions during server-side compiling or rendering?

Hi, I have the following structure (forget the twig extension, its left from my nunjucks tests):

            var appData ={};
            res.render('layout', appData, function(err, html) {
               res.send(html);
            });

test

{{include tmpl='./_includes/footer.html'}} 
//if i remove the import, the template get rendered and shows 'test'

I get no errors , just a white page.

How to apply this on the server :

        $.views.settings.debugMode(true);

Is this correct :

jsrender.views.settings.debugMode(true)

Whats missing please?

“./…” paths are relative paths - they are relative to the calling script - in your case app.js. They are nothing to do with Express.

You need to write {{include tmpl='./templates/test.html' /}}

OTOH if you use Hapi or Express, you can define the templates directory location, and then write res.render('_includes/footer', ... where you are using an Express API - hence the path is relative to the templates folder you set up for Express, and you are omitting the .html extension, since you set that up too for express.

JsRender ‘./…’ paths work equally well whether you use Express, Hapi, or neither.

All that is shown in the samples here https://github.com/BorisMoore/jsrender-node-starter, and the docs here http://www.jsviews.com/#node/filetmpls.

Did you start from those samples? If so you should have been starting from the correct ./... relative paths…

Sure!
