Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory

[Joeyrodrigues92]

My handlebars file that i want to use in my email is able to be detected by nodmailer-express-handlebars. I may have my hbs object set up incorrectly. Any help is much appreciated .

MY DIR SET UP:
-emailViews
- index.handlebars
-layouts
-main.handlebars

`let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport( nodeMailgun(auth) );

  transporter.use('compile', hbs({
     viewEngine: {
        extname: '.handlebars',
        layoutsDir: 'emailViews/layouts',
        defaultLayout:  'main',
        partialsDir: 'emailViews/',
    },
      viewPath: './emailViews/layouts',
      extName: '.handlebars'
    })
  );

// // send mail with defined transport object
let info = {
from: 'Excited User me@samples.mailgun.org', // sender address
to: "joeyrodrigues92@gmail.com", // list of receivers
subject: 'Nodemailer - Test',
text: 'Wooohooo it works!!',
context: {
userObjArr: userObjArr
}
// send extra values to template
};

transporter.sendMail(info, function(error, info){
if (error){
console.log('ERROR', error)
}else{
console.log('SENT', info)
}
})`

ERROR MESSAGE BELOW

ERROR [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/joeyrodrigues/Desktop/Open-List/open-list/emailViews/layouts/undefined.handlebars'] {

Hi Joey,

I guess index.handlebars is a template, and main.handlebars is the layout for all templates, correct?

In your info-object, you should add the template name you wish to use:

let info = {
from: 'Excited User me@samples.mailgun.org', // sender address
to: "joeyrodrigues92@gmail.com", // list of receivers
subject: 'Nodemailer - Test',
text: 'Wooohooo it works!!',
template: 'index',
context: {
userObjArr
}
};

This: viewPath: './emailViews/layouts', should be: viewPath: 'emailViews' instead.

Also note that you don't need to write extName: '.handlebars' because .handlebars is already the default.
