Path to pass in when using consolidate for app.engine?

[ThomasPCG]

I'm doing this...

app.engine('html', engines.handlebars({
    helpers: handleBarHelpers
}));

but apparently it's failing because there is a path which I need to specify?

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): TypeError: Cannot set property 'filename' of undefined

I can't find any API for the constructors above in the documentation. Can anyone guide me to the right place for this?

There's this example on the readme using express.

Also, the express documentation has a lot more information on how to use template engines. Here's a guide specifically for that

BTW... what you're doing in the code above is calling the handlebars engine directly, which is attempting to render something. Instead, just use this line:

app.engine('html', engines.handlebars);

Then see the express documentation for setting the views path and how you can pass helpers to the engine when rendering (I think you can add them as locals... app.locals.helpers = handleBarHelpers; but I'm not positive).
