copied!<p>I am unable to use EJS as my view render engine on NodeJS.</p> <p>I have found several similar questions but all state about installing EJS that really work for others. This is not same for me, may be because I am unable to choose the right directory (among so many duplicates in OpenShift repo) for the installation.</p> <p>I have NodeJS default app created by OpenShift template. While installing EJS dependency I somehow screwed it and I get following error (standard NodeJS error for unavailable module):</p> <pre> Error: Cannot find module 'ejs' at Function._resolveFilename (module.js:337:11) at Function._load (module.js:279:25) at Module.require (module.js:359:17) at require (module.js:375:17) at View.templateEngine (/usr/lib/node_modules/express/lib/view/view.js:134:38) at Function.compile (/usr/lib/node_modules/express/lib/view.js:68:17) at ServerResponse._render (/usr/lib/node_modules/express/lib/view.js:417:18) at ServerResponse.render (/usr/lib/node_modules/express/lib/view.js:318:17) at /var/lib/openshift/5123c2494382ec16ca000222/app-root/runtime/repo/server.js:114:17 at callbacks (/usr/lib/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:272:11) </pre> <p>Besides mentioning in package.json, I tried installing ejs through terminal at app-root, runtime and nodejs-0.6 level as well (and restarting of the app), but of no use.</p> <p>My directory structure is:</p> <pre> -app-root ---data ---repo -----node_modules (has ejs) -----server.js -----package.json ("dependencies": {"ejs" : ">=0.8.3"},) -----views -------defaultError.ejs ---runtime -----data -----node_modules (empty) -----repo (identical to app-root/repo) -------node_modules (has ejs) -nodejs-0.6 ---data ---repo (identical to app-root/repo) -----node_modules (has ejs) ---runtime -----node_modules (empty) -----repo (identical) -------node_modules (has ejs) </pre> <p>defaultError.ejs is just plain html. server.js has following:</p> <p><code></p> <pre><code>self.createRoutes = function() { self.routes = { }; //... self.routes['/'] = function(req, res) { res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html'); res.send(self.cache_get('index.html') ); }; self.routes['/helloejs'] = function(req, res){ res.render('defaultError', { layout:false } ); }; }; self.initializeServer = function() { self.createRoutes(); self.app = express.createServer(); self.app.set('view engine', 'ejs'); // Add handlers for the app (from the routes). for (var r in self.routes) { self.app.get(r, self.routes[r]); } }; </code></pre> <p></code></p> <p>Hope this long post makes my problem clear :)</p>
