Creating a custom route in routes.yaml

I am having the same problem that happened in the following post:

Referencing a template in a directory in routes.yaml

I am doing some proof of concept work with Ghost and so far am very impressed. I have successfully created a custom template, added it to routes.yaml and included it in my nav. All easy stuff. I was hoping to put my custom, one off templates in a sub directory to keep them all together and separate from the default theme templates. For example I wanted to play the custom templates at content/themes/casper/custom_templates/ vs. just in content/themes/casper/. Unfortunately I get an error when …

I am trying to read a “.hbs” file from a folder, however, a 404 error is thrown.
I modified the “routes.yaml” in “content/settings/routes.yaml”, having

    routes:
      /signup/: members/signup
      /calendar/: calendar

In this case, signup route is not working, however, the calendar route is working.
Note, the error only happens in local, and works perfectly fine in production!

The following line is used in “signup.hbs”:

{{!< ../default}}

Meaning, I tried to fix the issue following the answer in the mentioned forum post, but it did not work.

Thank you in advance.

I am using the exact same configuration in routes.yaml and it works on a local install, so it seems to me that this issue has to do with your local setup rather than Ghost
