Hello James,

Apologies for not filling out all the modules in the app.psgi file and adding unnecessary confusion!

The response you're getting, not being able to locate the template file, is usually due to a config error in setting the paths to the directory your app looks in for template files. Have you tried debugging by printing out the 'views' parameter (see https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Dancer2/lib/Dancer2/Manual.pod#TEMPLATES)?

You can also check that the endpoints you have defined are working correctly by returning a text string; once that is verified, you know it's just the template engine parameters that need altering.

However, when I then went to the browser and issued a previously working API call, I got this error output:

In the server I got output like this:

Needless to say, if I can't locate 'login.tt', I can't login and therefore can't make any of the other previously working API calls.

I've spent more than 10 hours over several days trying to figure this out, and I'm beginning to lose hope that it will ever work.  Or, more precisely, I'm beginning to think that the documentation in Dancer2::Manual is claiming that something will work which just will not do so.

Thoughts?

Thank you very much.
Jim Keenan
