Cannot include files from root directory

[harshithkashyap]

I have an ejs file that i'm rendering through express say hello.ejs. The views folder structure is views/site/test/hello.ejs

I have the following snippet inside the hello.ejs file

<%- include('/partials/site/templates/navbar.html'); %>

Currently this doesn't work. I can't include files from the views directory.

The current work around i see is going to the parent directory and giving the path

<%- include('../../../partials/course/templates/navbar.html'); %>

It'd be useful to allow include from root dir.

Thanks for the quick fix. How do i specify my project location as the root directory? Is there a way to specify the views folder as the root directory as we render the files from express?
