Multiple directories for partials

[loremipson]

I'm not quite sure when this issue came about exactly, and it might ultimately be within handlebars-layouts, but I have multiple directories set up for partials (one for layouts) and it doesn't seem to be working anymore.

Here's my gulp-hb pipe:

.pipe(hb({
  data: '_data/**/*.{js,json}',
  helpers: [
    'node_modules/handlebars-layouts',
  ],
  partials: [
    '_partials/**/*.hbs',
    '_layouts/**/*.hbs',
  ]
}))

This was working perfectly at one point, but now upon compiling, it reports, "Error: Missing partial: 'base'" if base.hbs is in my _layouts directory.

If I move base.hbs into _partials it works again. Which is great, but ideally, I'd have them in separate directories still to avoid potential confusion.

Partials are named according to the directory structure. All common parent directories are trimmed and extensions removed. So:

hb({ partials: ['./_partials/**/*.hbs'] });

with

`- _partials/
   |- foo.hbs
   `- bar.hbs

would register foo and bar as paritals. While:

hb({
    partials: [
        './_partials/**/*.hbs'
        './_layouts/**/*.hbs'
    ]
});

with

|- _partials/
|  |- foo.hbs
|  `- bar.hbs
`- _layouts/
   |- baz.hbs
   `- qux.hbs

would register _partials/foo, _partials/bar, _layouts/baz, and _layouts/qux. I'll soon be adding a debug option which will console.log the data object keys, helpers names, and partial names to help make this more obvious.

Ah hah.. the one thing I didn't actually try.

So it seems that I only need to specify that level if it's in the _layouts directory. Things inside _partials are still rendering fine with: {{> filename }}. {{> _partials/filename }} seems to work as well, but it's not erroring with the less verbose version. edit: Never mind, not sure what confused me before, but I do indeed need to specify {{> _partials/filename }}

I noticed that my json data doesn't seem to be pulling in anymore either, would this be related to the same issue? With my above mentioned code, I have this file:

|- _data/
|    |- site.json

Which I am then just pulling into my templates with: {{site.title}}. Similarly, nothing is pulling in with that now, where it was before. Is there an extra step in place now?

Thanks!

And I just read in previous issues about the data now requiring the filename as of 2.0, so in my current case, I need to call {{site.site.title}}. Which is .. ugly, but easy to change.

Closing this as it's a non-issue. Thanks for the help!
