I tried something and got this error Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'D:\Website\Nodemailer\Nodemailer-application\views\layouts\main.handlebars'

The fix I got was to literally construct the directory as it is seen. This means labeling the items exactly as shown, It is weird that I gave the computer what it wants.

In my case the issue was caused by using a file path starting at the directory where the script was executing rather than at the root of the project   My directory stucture was like this  projectfolder   -- package json  -- scriptFolder        -- myScript js  And I was calling fs createReadStream  users csv   instead of the correct fs createReadStream  scriptFolder users csv

Your app is expecting to find a file at  home embah node nodeapp config config json but that file does not exist  which is what ENOENT means   So you either need to create the expected directory structure or else configure your application such that it looks in the correct directory for config json
