deprecated sendfile error message

A bit funny error message that I have a hard time understanding 😄

Tue, 20 Dec 2016 09:48:41 GMT express deprecated res.sendfile: Use res.sendFile instead at ...

I tried to use: res.sendFile but it tells me it’s also deprecated and that I should use res.sendFile instead. So I tried res.sendFile instead but it’s also deprecated … and so on …

@hacksparrow yhea this is related to the upper and lower case, as you see in my example I used the lowercase. The error didn’t make sense to me because I didn’t see the difference of file and File.

Can you create a new file with the following code and see if you still get the deprecation message?

const
express = require('express'),
app     = express(),
root    = __dirname.split('node_modules').shift() + '/public';

app.get('/img/foo/bar.jpg', (req, res) => res.sendFile(req.path, {root}));
app.use(express.static(root));
app.listen(8000);
