Template error is lacking some detail

[benjaminapetersen]

Pretty simple express + nunjucks setup, code is:

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.render(`views/index.html`, {
    title: 'Index.html',
    items: [
      {name: 'item 1'},
      {name: 'item 2'},
      {name: 'item 3'}
    ]
  });
});

Error: template not found: err.nunjucks
    at createTemplate (my_proj/node_modules/nunjucks/src/environment.js:274:15)
    at next (my_proj/node_modules/nunjucks/src/lib.js:283:7)
    at handle (my_proj/node_modules/nunjucks/src/environment.js:313:11)

    at tryRender (my_proj/node_modules/express/lib/application.js:640:10)

File is there. was sent as a static html file before adding nunjucks to the project. The error is pretty cryptic, should it tell me what template it isn't finding?

I think it's all a part of a larger problem that was introduced some versions ago, where some error details are being lost / are not getting to output... Probably related to #1087

This is now fixed in the 3.1.3 release
