Can’t find layout template in v9.26.0 (using Eleventy v1.0.0-canary.44)

Updating the dependencies for my Eleventy-based website (currently using v1.0.0-canary.44), and updating LiquidJS from v9.25.1 to v9.26.0 generates the following error:

As to some background, I have Eleventy set up to look for includes and layouts in separate specified folders. At the top of my templates, I extend a common default.liquid template, i.e.:

{%- layout 'default' -%}
{%- block 'main' -%}
  …
{%- endblock -%}

Eleventy looks for this default template in ./src/layouts/, but since updating to the latest version of LiquidJS, it appears to now be looking for it in /src/includes/. Reverting to v9.25.1 of LiquidJS prevents this error from occurring. Looks like there was a bit of refactoring in the most recent release, which may be the culprit!

Happy to provide more details if required. My site’s code can be found at https://github.com/paulrobertlloyd/paulrobertlloyd-v4

The fix for this has made it into Eleventy master and will ship with 1.0.0-beta.5.

Tracking at https://github.com/11ty/eleventy/issues/1995

Thank you @harttle for the PR!

I appreciate the movement here but I do think this was a semver breaking change, right?

Are we not allowed to use options or options.root in the third argument to render any more?

Should this have been bundled with a major version API change?
