When I do a request that store a dot character, e.x: http://localhost/profile/abc.xyz. Then, nodejs will notify 'error: uncaughtException: Cannot find module 'xyz'. I know it occur due to the ReactEngineView function in the react-engine/lib/expressView.js, in depth the ReactEngineView function will call the View function at express/lib/view.js. The View function as the following code:
function View(name, options) {
var opts = options || {};
this.defaultEngine = opts.defaultEngine;
this.ext = extname(name); // <--------- Error here
this.name = name;
this.root = opts.root;
if (!this.ext && !this.defaultEngine) {
throw new Error('No default engine was specified and no extension was provided.');
}
var fileName = name;
if (!this.ext) {
// get extension from default engine name
this.ext = this.defaultEngine[0] !== '.'
? '.' + this.defaultEngine
: this.defaultEngine;
fileName += this.ext;
}
console.log(this.ext);
if (!opts.engines[this.ext]) {
// load engine
opts.engines[this.ext] = require(this.ext.substr(1)).__express;
}
// store loaded engine
this.engine = opts.engines[this.ext];
// lookup path
this.path = this.lookup(fileName);
}
