Express sendFile breaks

I am constantly getting:

express deprecated res.sendfile: Use res.sendFile instead

here is my code: 

app.get('/*', function (req, res) {

  var myUrl = req.url.split('/')[1];

  myownfunction(myUrl, function (err, rows) {

    if (rows.length != 0) {
      res.sendfile('views/article.html');
    }
    else
    {
      res.sendfile('views/404.html');
    }
  });
});

I changed the sendfile to uppercase sendFile, but it breaks. what should i do?

update

when I run my code:

app.get('/upload', function(req, res){
  res.sendFile('views/upload_file.html');
});

I get this error: TypeError: path must be absolute or specify root to res.sendFile

Use path.join() function to configure file path.

app.get('/upload', function(req, res){
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname,"views/upload_file.html"))
});
