"Advanced Node and Express - Set up a Template Engine" passes as correct despite wrong solution

Describe your problem and how to reproduce it: When setting up Pug for the first time, even though I didn’t choose to render the index.pug page, but sent it (using app.sendFile), the FCC checker passed my solution as correct.

Code that wrongly passes tests:

app.route('/')
  .get((req, res) => {
    res.sendFile(process.cwd() + '/views/pug/index.pug');
  });

Actual solution:

app.route('/')
  .get((req, res) => {
    res.render(process.cwd() + '/views/pug/index.pug');
  });

This is especially confusing for a beginner as the boilerplate comes with res.sendFile as a default, simply changing the path results in the behavior shown in the screenshots below.

There is still an issue of the test not passing with correct solutions:

app.route('/').get((req, res) => {
    res.render(process.cwd() + '/views/pug/index');
  });

OR

app.route('/').get((req, res) => {
    res.render('./pug/index');
  });

hi @Sky020 we’ve submitted another pr to relax the regex a bit more. it’s pending review.

I believe the single period (relative path) the way you’ve written it doesn’t work in even the glitch app. It’s pointing at the wrong path. should be … or just /pug
