While trying to render an image from the public folder in my express app it is not rendering it.Can anyone help me how to configure the path so that I am able to render the images or css files in the public folder while creating a executable file using pkg. Attaching the code

app.use(express.static(Path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
console.log(Path.join(__dirname, 'public/images'));
res.render(Path.join(__dirname, 'views/' + 'testing'), {
    variable: Path.join(__dirname, 'public/images/' + 'category.png')
});
});

Try to move a level up to the ../public directory in your file path if the express code is at the root level of a directory that is at the same level as the public directory. The path depends on where you are using app.use(express.static(publicDirectoryPath))

    const publicDirectoryPath = path.join(__dirname, '../public'); 

    app.use(express.static(publicDirectoryPath));
