500 Error: ENOENT, open 'C:\Users\Gilbert\Documents\GitHub\maths4me\base.dust' with consolidate.js

I get this error when trying to set up inheritance in dust.js:

500 Error: ENOENT, open 'C:\Users\Gilbert\Documents\GitHub\maths4me\base.dust'

I have a file called index.html:

{>"base.dust"/}
   {<title}Hi{/title}

Which calls base.dust:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>{+title}Maths 4 me{/title}</title>
    <link rel='stylesheet' href='/stylesheets/style.css' />
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hi</h1>
    <p>Welcome to maths4me</p>
  </body>
</html>

ENOENT means that file doesn't exist.

Check again that base.dust exists in provided location.

Double check your names of your files. For me, I have seen this error Error: ENOENT, and I noticed that in one my main app.js, I wrote 

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.sendfile('./views/plan.html');
});

when I in views folder,I renamed it to home.html, This error appears accordingly

If you like me don't want to specify full paths to base templates and partials all the time, try out: klei-dust. (it's like consolidate but only for dustjs-linkedin) In your scenario above you could just specify:

{>base/}

Instead of:

{>"views/base.dust"/}

...to get it to work.

Dust partials look in the app root not the views folder, It took me some time to realise this. I was referencing a file in the wrong folder. My code should have been: 

{>"/views/base.dust"/}
{<title}Hi{/title}
