I'm writing an app using express and wished to use swig as rendering engine. I used it before and it was very nice, but the version is changed and I can't figure out what to do. Here is what I've written so far:
web.js
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var swig = require('swig'); // rendering engine
app.engine('html', swig.renderFile);
app.set('view engine', 'html');
app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
app.use(express.bodyParser());
app.use(express.logger());
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
console.log('--> root#home');
res.render('root/home.html', { x: 1 });
console.log('<-- root#home');
});
var port = process.env.PORT || 5000;
app.listen(port, function() {
console.log("Listening on " + port);
});
views/root/home.html
You are at root#home, x = {{ x }}
Now the thing is that when I start server and open localhost:5000/ in browser it correctly shows Your are at root#home, x = 1. But after I make second request localhost:5000/ it just hangs... no reply is coming. In logs I see that the request enters the function and exits it
$ foreman start

15:19:17 web.1 | --> root#home // ** first time **
