node.js - TypeError: path must be absolute or specify root to res.sendFile

I'm trying to figure out what is the source of this problem. According to this page, everything should work fine, but i get this error.

TypeError: path must be absolute or specify root to res.sendFile
at ServerResponse.sendFile (/Users/apple/Documents/JavsScript/test/node_modules/express/lib/response.js:410:11)

Here's my code:

var host = '127.0.0.1';
var port = 8020;

var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');

var app = express();

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'Public')))

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

app.listen(port, host, function () {
    console.log('App listening on ' + host + ':' + port);
});

and here's my directory structure:

server.js
node_modules
package.json
Public  
    views
       inde.html

res.sendFile('Public/views/inde.html' , { root : __dirname}); worked for me, just wanted to give some credit!

Just try this:

res.sendFile('Public/views/inde.html' , { root : __dirname});
