View engine view path results to default after set manually

app.set(‘views’, path.join(__dirname, ‘views’)); app.set(‘view engine’, ‘pug’);

This does not work, path still points to Failed to lookup view “admin/objects/list” in views directory “/tmp/backend/views” but should /tmp/backend/src/views as __dirname = /tmp/backend/src

Temporary fix is to uncomment default configuration resolve(‘views’) command.

app.defaultConfiguration = function defaultConfiguration() {
  ...
  // default configuration
  this.set('view', View);
  **//this.set('views', resolve('views'));
  this.set('jsonp callback name', 'callback');
};

Ok, no hurries. If you want I can try and describe issue here. I created the sample project so you can just “npm start” and go to /admin/objects url and it displays Failed lookup view message.

Hi, I know this is a really old issue, but I am looking through them to help clean them up. It seems the ZIP is no longer available, though. I’m going to close this for now, but if anyone is still having this issue, please open a new issue with a full reproduction case and we’ll take a fresh look.
