🐛 [Bug]: Mustache template engine; partials don't work about template HOT 8 OPEN

@Durandle46 which fiber version do you exactly use? Latest is v3 and this is not compatible with template at the moment or latest of v2?

Pls also share your setup code

@ReneWerner87 Sorry that was not the best written bug report, I was doing it away from home on my mobile.

Fiber version is v2.52.4, I've not looked at v3 since I it's not production ready.

I've worked out what the issue is. The path requires the complete relative path, not the relative path to the base directory given to the template engine.

So for example, setting up the engine with:

Files:

serve>
  views>
    index.mustache
    partials>
      header.mustache
      footer.mustache
    layouts>
      main.mustache

engine := mustache.New("serve/views", ".mustache")
engine .Debug(true)
engine .Verbose = true

and then using a partial with:

{{> views/partials/header}}

Doesn't work. No error in the logs about not finding the partial either, it silently fails.

However doing:

{{> serve/views/partials/header}}

Does work.

It's not at all obvious this is required, and the docs don't mention this. Since the engine has already been handed the base directory to operate from, one might assume the name/path given is relative to that. To make it even less obvious, the debug output when parsing all the templates at start-up chops the path off entirely, making it seem like you can reference them using those names/paths:

2024/05/06 14:39:01 views: parsed template: index
2024/05/06 14:39:01 views: parsed template: layouts/main
2024/05/06 14:39:01 views: parsed template: partials/footer
2024/05/06 14:39:01 views: parsed template: partials/header

And lastly, since the engine does render the layouts and views using the short name/path, it makes no sense to expect the partials to require the complete relative path:

return c.Render(
	"index",
	fiber.Map{},
	"layouts/main",
)

from template.

Also it's not lost on me that when I wrote Created a project that mirrors the example in the Fiber Mustache docs. its not accurate because I used additional path elements.

thanks we will test it with your code

we will add some docus and try to improve our rendering info
