jade the "filename" option is required to use "extends" with "relative" paths

I have following folder structure (simplified):

project
       - app.js
       - views
              - index.jade
              - layout.jade
       - public
...

I want to generate an index.html file from index.jade and use the following command in my Terminal (Mac OS X):

jade < index.jade > index.html

However I receive an error saying:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/jade/lib/runtime.js:231
  throw err;
        ^
Error: Jade:1

  > 1| extends ./layout

    2|

    3| block mainContent

    4|   center

    at Object.exports.compile (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/jade/lib/index.js:172:16)
    at ReadStream.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/jade/bin/jade.js:144:21)
    at ReadStream.emit (events.js:117:20)
    at _stream_readable.js:943:16
    at process._tickCallback (node.js:419:13)

I tried editing the line which causes the error in index.jade to:

extends layout

and

extends layout.jade

and

extends ./layout.jade

Any idea how I could fix this?

You have to set -p option:

jade -p src/index.jade < src/index.jade > build/index.html

Be careful! Jade drops last component of -p argument to concatenate with relative path.

if use "extend" or "include", the filename option must be used.

--filename "/absulute/path/to/your-file.jade"

You get the error because you are trying with 

jade < index.jade > index.html

so jade have troubles finding the path (not sure why I think this is an issue) but if you try

jade < index.jade >

everything will be smooth.

or maybe try some automation with http://gulpjs.com/
