i've created a child theme

cd wp.app/web/app/themes/example-Timber
cat style.css

functions.php includes,

...
<?php

$composer_autoload = ABSPATH . '../../vendor/autoload.php';
if ( file_exists( $composer_autoload ) ) {
    require_once $composer_autoload;
    Timber\Timber::init();
}
...
/**

error, in logs,

[09-Apr-2023 15:38:46 UTC] [ Timber ] Error loading your template files: front-page.twig, home.twig, index.twig. Make sure one of these files exists.

Is usage of Timber::$dirname incorrect or not-sufficient? or a bug?

Hello @pgnd 👋🏻

Maybe 2.x-revert-theme-subfolder branch has a bug ... It is just a draft PR #139.

[pgnd]

@szepeviktor

yup.

i just started setting up for a new dev proj, and wanted to test.

seemed to my read that #139, related to the discuss @ https://github.com/timber/timber/pull/2458, was to be a done deal
