Note: my auto answer at end of the post
I'm trying to make a better experience of nodeJS and i don't really like to get all the script in one file.
so, following a post here i use this structure
./
config/
enviroment.js
routes.js
public/
css/
styles.css
images
views
index
index.jade
section
index.jade
layout.jade
app.js
My files are right now:
app.js
var express = require('express');
var app = module.exports = express.createServer();
require('./config/enviroment.js')(app, express);
require('./config/routes.js')(app);
app.listen(3000);
enviroment.js
module.exports = function(app, express) {
app.configure(function() {
app.use(express.logger());
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
app.set('view engine', 'jade'); //extension of views
});
//development configuration
app.configure('development', function() {
app.use(express.errorHandler({
dumpExceptions: true,
showStack: true
}));
});
//production configuration
app.configure('production', function() {
app.use(express.errorHandler());
});
};
routes.js
module.exports = function(app) {
app.get(['/','/index', '/inicio'], function(req, res) {
res.render('index/index');
});
app.get('/test', function(req, res) {
//res.render('index/index');
});
};
layout.jade
!!! 5
html
head
link(rel='stylesheet', href='/css/style.css')
title Express + Jade
body
#main
h1 Content goes here
#container!= body
index/index.jade
h1 algoa
The error i get is:
Error: Failed to lookup view "index/index"

But i don't really know what is the problem...
I'm starting thinking is because the modules exports...
Answer:
Far away the unique solution i found is to change the place i defined app.set('views') and views engine
I moved it to the app.js and now is working well.
var express = require('express');
var app = module.exports = express.createServer();
require('./config/enviroment.js')(app, express);
app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
require('./config/routes.js')(app);
app.listen(3000);
I don't really understand the logic behind this but i gonna supose it have one.
