Are view paths relative?

[nickpoorman]

I've got an express app that loads other express apps as middleware. They all share views in the same directory but the various express apps are in different directories.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the views are being loaded by a relative path, instead of where I set them in the master app: app.set("views", __dirname + "/views"); Is that what's happening?

Edit: it looks like it's trying to get a view_dir but it seems to be undefined. var view_dir = options.settings.views;

I figured it out. Looks like you have to set the view directory in each express app and not just the master app.

var viewPath = path.resolve(__dirname, '..', 'views');
app.set("views", viewPath);
app.set('view engine', 'hbs');
