Can't get handlebars.js to work about roots HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey there @Hoenoe! A better place to ask questions might be our gitter chatroom, this is more a place for things that might be an error with roots.

In this case, your issue is entirely outside the scope of roots. Roots' use of handlebars is to compile templates into static html files, which is is doing exactly as intended. You are trying to use handlebars through javascript on the client side, so you should not be using handlebars through roots, as the two might conflict, and this is probably the source of your issue.

Try changing the file extension to .html and running it that way.

Hey @jescalan,
Thank you for your help!
This clarified things and changing the extension to .html did the trick.

Great! If you want to precompile the templates, you could always try the client-templates extension as well
