Filepath error using sendFile instead of sendfile

[AndrewSouthpaw]

The tutorial is inconsistent about using res.sendfile or res.sendFile. If res.sendFile is used (since sendfile is deprecated), using

res.sendFile('index.html');

doesn't work, throwing an error about the path not being specified properly. Here's what I did to fix it:

res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');

Another way:

var path = require('path');

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

For some reason I'm getting error TypeError: Object #<ServerResponse> has no method 'sendFile' at Object.handle when I try either of the above methods.

Ah. Had an older of express installed (maybe based on the package.json file from repository. Express docs Note: res.sendFile requires Express version to be at least 4.8.0
