<%- include('header.ejs') %> doesn't work

[ghost]

The syntax

<%- include('header.ejs') %> 

doesn't work here and throws the error:

Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory '/home/boris/express/views/('header.ejs')'

while the

 <%- include header %>

is fine.

[RandomEtc]

Thanks. I've been seeing this too and I'm having trouble tracking it down. Do the tests work for you? (Do npm install --dev and npm test to try).

[ghost]

@RandomEtc The tests of include fail too.

[RandomEtc]

OK this is helpful - thanks! Can you let me know what OS, OS version and node version you're using?

[ghost]

@RandomEtc I am using Ubuntu 12.10 beta 3 and uname -a outputs

Linux tales 3.5.0-15-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 24 20:37:06 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And my node version is v0.8.11.

[dominicbarnes]

I'm experiencing the same problem on my system, the output of uname -a for me is:

Linux barnes-workstation 3.5.0-17-generic #27-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 5 01:35:26 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Node Version: v0.8.11 and Express Version: 3.0.0rc5

[dominicbarnes]

console.log(include.toString()); outputs function () { [native code] }

If I use <%- locals.include("flash"); %> or <%- include flash %> it appears to work, as opposed to what's expected from the documentation.

[RandomEtc]

Weird but good to know, thanks for the sleuthing. I'll take a look later today for sure. As Express 3 settles down this is to be expected I guess. I'll also try to tackle the include and partial paths and make sure the caching is sane on those as well.

[RandomEtc]

Didn't get as far as I like with this, sorry! Next chance I'll have to fix it is probably Sunday.

[lonevan]

got the same error..

mac os 10.8.2

[RandomEtc]

For those following along with this - unfortunately EJS specifies its own include now!

The syntax is slightly different. Where you did <%-include('foo')%> with ejs-locals you should be able to do <% include foo %> with EJS itself.

I'll remove include from this package and publish a new version shortly. The version number will be a major increment. In the meantime I'll publish a patch fix specifying the last version of EJS that didn't have include support.

Sorry for the delay tracking this down!

[RandomEtc]

OK, this is "fixed" for the short-term in ejs-locals 0.2.6 which requires ejs 0.7 now. I will shortly push ejs-locals 1.0 which removes its own include so you can use the EJS one.

[Liniik]

I have exactly same problem as @SV96, nothing from docs or the internet works.

[Frkchs]

Same problem as @Liniik and @SV96! I have replaced my template engine from:

app.engine('html', require('ejs').renderFile);

to:

app.engine('html', require('ejs-locals'));

Now, the include function, work successful for me!

[MadProgrammer0]

To anyone facing that problem, the new syntax Is <%- include('partials/header') %>.

[Liniik]

To anyone facing that problem, the new syntax Is <%- include('partials/header') %>.

Did you read my comment? I said that nothing from docs or the internet works so neither does your syntax.

I got it finally worked with <% include foot %>. My template engine was defined by express generator: app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

[MadProgrammer0]

I totally forgot to mention it, so sorry for that.

[medaminefh]

sooo ... anyone get it right ?

[Ashma-Garg]

You can use

<%- include('partial/head'); %>
        <p>homepage</p>
<%- include('partial/foot'); %>

This works perfectly fine. **Don't forget to put the "semicolon" at the end of brackets. My template engine was defined by: app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

[fangqiank]

<%- include('partial/head'); %>

works for me,thanks
