Does setting view engine in ExpressJS cause res.render() to only look in views folder for templates?

Does setting this

app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'jade');

always cause 

res.render([path]);

to start in the views directory? In other words, is the views directory always implied for res.render() after setting up the view engine.

Yes, that will make render look in 'views'

http://expressjs.com/4x/api.html#app.render

If you scroll down to application settings it will tell you the default setting for view is

process.cwd() + '/views'
