helpersPath doesnt work with jade templates

[hochitom]

when i define a a helpersPath i get undefined is not a function when requesting a page.

views: {
        path: __dirname + '/views',
        helpersPath: __dirname + '/helpers',
        partialsPath: __dirname + '/views/partials',
        engines: {
              jade: 'jade'
        },
        compileOptions: {
              pretty: true
        },
        isCached: false
}

i named my helper file test.js and exported a simple function

module.exports = function () {
      return 'hallo';
};

and in my template i called the function test()

i'm not quite sure if i made a mistake when implementing it, or if its an jade related issue.

Does jade support helpers via the registerHelper() method?

[hochitom]

i did a quick research and found out that jade does not provide a registerHelpers function. jade expects all the helpers in the local scope. this explains why that was the only way to add i18n support:

req.response.source.context.__ = function (string) {
    return i18n.__(string);
};

Issue still persists with current Jade version :-(
