node.js - How to prevent PM2 to change the current directory? -

im using pm2 handle nodejs micro services , express-handlebars handle views:

var hbs = exphbs.create({   defaultlayout: 'main',   helpers: {     ifeq: function(a, b, options) {       if (a === b) {         return options.fn(this);       }       return options.inverse(this);     },     tojson : function(object) {       return json.stringify(object);     }   } });  app.engine('handlebars', hbs.engine); app.set('view engine', 'handlebars'); 

lunching app directly (node app.js) works great. if lunch using pm2 (pm2 start app.js) get:

error: failed lookup view "home" in views directory "/root/views"

when lunching pm2 current working directory change /root/ , since app in not there got error handlebars trying open views directory (which in app directory).

is there way fix telling pm2 current working directory or telling express-handlebars library complete directory instead of using relative one?

i using koa , swig templates - needed include path views in app setup:

app.use(koarender('./server/server-side-views', {         map: { html: 'swig' },         cache: false })); 

i suspect more of same you. think in express code should along line of:

app.engine('handlebars', hbs.engine); app.set('view engine', 'handlebars'); app.set('views', __dirname + '/yourviewdirectory');
