I installed Sails.js 0.9.4 and created an application that uses the swig template engine with the following command:
sails new sailsproject--template=swig
When I try to run the app via sails lift I get the following error:

Does anyone know why? It works perfectly with jade or ejs and the docs in the /config/views.js file state that Sails supports other templates as well (including swig).
This is a bug that is fixed in the development branch of sails and should be fixed in the next release.
