Using Nunjucks with Express 4

Question

I am trying to use Nunjucks as a template engine from Express. I did this:

var express = require('express');
var nunjucks = require('nunjucks');
var path = require('path');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var load = require('express-load');
var fs = require("fs");

var app = express();
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));

var env = nunjucks.configure(app.get('views'), {
    autoescape: true,
    express:    app 
});

app.set('view engine', 'html');

But above code gives this error:

Template render error: compileExtends: cannot extend multiple times
   at Error.exports.TemplateError (C:\my\nodejs\projects\\node_modules\nunjucks\src\lib.js:49:19)
   at Object.extend.fail (C:\my\nodejs\projects\\node_modules\nunjucks\src\compiler.js:49:15)

   at Obj.extend.compile (C:\my\nodejs\projects\\node_modules\nunjucks\src\environment.js:403:18) 

Please tell me how to fix this ?

I used it like this:

nunjucks.configure('views', {
    express: app,
    autoescape: true
});
app.set('view engine', 'html');

Worked out for me. Got it from the nunjucks website: https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/getting-started.html
