Menu
I'm running a simple server
var express = require('express')
var app = express()
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.use(express.static('public'))
// home page request handler
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.render('home')
})
// initializes request listener
app.listen(process.env.PORT, process.env.IP, function(){
console.log("Server is listening");
})
When I make a GET request for the home page, run-time throws the following error
Error: Could not find include include file.

I don't understand this error. Any ideas? I'm working in Cloud9.
My directory structure is
v1.1
+---views
| +---- home.ejs
| +---- partials
| +------ header.ejs
| +------ footer.ejs
|
+----app.js
home.ejs
<% include header %>
<h1>welcome</h1>
<% include footer %>
header.ejs
<DOCTYPE! html>
<html>
<head>
<title>
<link rel="stylesheet" hreff="app.css">
</title>
</head>
<body>
footer.ejs
</body
</html>

Include paths are relative, you will need to update your paths to include the "partials" subfolder e.g.
<% include partials/header %>
<h1>welcome</h1>
<% include partials/footer %>
See the docs

Try any of these:
<% include header.ejs %>
<% include header %>
<%- include('header.ejs'); -%>
<%- include('./header.ejs'); -%>
