500 Error: ENOENT, open 'C:\Users\Gilbert\Documents\GitHub\maths4me\base.dust' with consolidate.js

Asked 31/8, 2012 at 0:3 Answered 26/11, 2013 at 2:16

I get this error when trying to set up inheritance in dust.js:

500 Error: ENOENT, open 'C:\Users\Gilbert\Documents\GitHub\maths4me\base.dust'

I have a file called index.html:

{>"base.dust"/}
   {<title}Hi{/title}

Which calls base.dust:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>{+title}Maths 4 me{/title}</title>
    <link rel='stylesheet' href='/stylesheets/style.css' />
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hi</h1>
    <p>Welcome to maths4me</p>
  </body>
</html>

need more info - how did you compile the two template files? because you may be referencing the partial wrong, but I can't be sure until I know more – Anthill 4/9, 2012 at 2:43

Dust partials look in the app root not the views folder, It took me some time to realise this. I was referencing a file in the wrong folder. My code should have been:

{>"/views/base.dust"/}
{<title}Hi{/title}

does not work for me: 500 Error: ENOENT, open '/views/base.dust' – Epsilon 23/9, 2012 at 17:1

{>"views/base.dust"/} this works. forward slash causes error. – Epsilon 23/9, 2012 at 17:9

ENOENT means that file doesn't exist.

Check again that base.dust exists in provided location.

If you like me don't want to specify full paths to base templates and partials all the time, try out: klei-dust. (it's like consolidate but only for dustjs-linkedin) In your scenario above you could just specify:

{>base/}

Instead of:

{>"views/base.dust"/}

...to get it to work.

Double check your names of your files. For me, I have seen this error Error: ENOENT, and I noticed that in one my main app.js, I wrote

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.sendfile('./views/plan.html');
});

when I in views folder,I renamed it to home.html, This error appears accordingly
