Layout Lookup Fails for Subdirectory Templates #11

Closed zzen closed 12 years ago

zzen commented 12 years ago

Example:

var express = require('express'),
partials = require('express-partials')
app = express();

app.use(partials());

app.set('views', __dirname + "/views");
app.get('/', function(req, res, next) { return res.render('web/homepage.html'); });

This will successfully render the template, but will fail on looking up layout.html located in the same folder:

Error: Failed to lookup view "layout.html"

My hunch is that the web/ prefix of the template is stripped when looking up the layout file, but digging aroud express-partials and express internals got too much for me.
