Why is koa-pug throwing "ctx.render is not a function" when using koa-mount

I have a gist for a simple Koa server using koa-pug. The working one seems to host the pug file just fine, however, the fail one, which uses koa-mount to forward the app to the root works fine when setting the body but throws

TypeError: ctx.render is not a function

If I change it to something like 

ctx.body = "index";

It works fine. Why can't I use koa-pug with koa-mount? Or am I just missing something?

Solution

  • I had to assign Pug to the main app and not the route one...

     this.app = new Koa();
 this.pug = new Pug({
     app: this.app,
     viewPath: './src/views'
 });

    Then everything worked great.
