Hi there!

In order to have the request and response available, you must designate your start file as an Express Route in File Properties. So, right-click the list.js file, select Properties, and make sure Express Route is checked.

Also, I believe ejs should already be available on NodeRun, so you don’t have to install the ejs package into your workspace.

Let me know if this helps.

I’m trying to do the same thing with Profoundjs and getting same error. However, I’m trying on our local IBMi server,not on NodeRun. So, is there a way to manually add Express Route?

I don’t see Express Route box under file properties. Any clue?

Thanks.

This is set up differently in Profound.js. To define Express routes, you have to edit the ‘start.js’ in your Profound.js installation directory and add calls to ‘profoundjs.express()’. See the Profound.js docs for more info.

Great! I’ll try it. Thanks.
