template directory in Firebase Functions

[jonathan-chin]

I'm having template directory issues when executing from Firebase Functions. I'm guessing there's some conflict in the relative pathing. I have some basic code in a js file:

let aws = require('aws-sdk');
const Email = require('email-templates');
let nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
const path = require('path');

aws.config.update({
    accessKeyId: "[VALID ACCESS KEY",
    secretAccessKey: "[VALID SECRET]",
    region: "us-west-2"
});

let SEStransporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    SES: new aws.SES({
        apiVersion: '2010-12-01'
    })
});

const email = new Email({
    message: {
    from: '[VALID EMAIL ADDRESS]'
    },
    send: true,
    preview: false,
    transport: SEStransporter
});

email
    .send({
    template: "block",
        message: {
        to: "[VALID EMAIL ADDRESS]"
        },
        locals: {}
    })
    .then(function(response){
      // ...
    })
    .catch(function(error){
      // ...
    });

When I run this from the command line (eg node test.js), it works perfectly. But when I put it into a Firebase Function function, I get:

info: Error: No content was passed for subject, html, text, nor attachments message props. Check that the files for the template "block" exist.

I've tried multiple variations of editing the views root but the problem persists: ok when running as a standalone script but 'does not exist' error when running in a Firebase Function

@jonathan-chin did you solve this ? I'm facing the same issue running my code in AWS' elastic beanstalk.

EDIT : for anyone also struggling with this, my issue had nothing to do with this package. The problem I had was that I forgot to copy my template folder when creating the docker image I use to deploy my application in the cloud. Hence, why it worked locally, but not in AWS' environment.
