problem at rendering views using express.js - node.js

Question

Though my rendering path is correct when I hit http://localhost:4444/admin/posts/create it shows some error like
Error: Failed to lookup view "/admin/posts/create" in views directory "D:\node practise\CMS\views"
app.js file is like
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const path = require('path');
const exphbs = require('express-handlebars');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/cms', { useNewUrlParser: true })
.then(db => {
console.log('MONGO CONNECTED!');
})
.catch(error => {
console.log('MONGO NOT CONNECTED!');
})
//making app to use static file
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
//define template engine
app.set('view engine', 'handlebars');
//set default engine
app.engine('handlebars', exphbs({defaultLayout: 'home'}));
//load routes
const home = require("./routes/home/index");
const admin = require("./routes/admin/index");
const posts = require("./routes/admin/posts");
//use routes
app.use(home);
app.use("/admin", admin);
app.use("/admin/posts", posts);
//setting up server
app.listen(4444, () => {
console.log('Listening....');
});
I have posts.js that handles this route like
const express = require("express");
const router = express.Router();
router.all('/*', (req, res, next) => {
req.app.locals.layout = 'admin';
next();
})
router.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('It works!');
})
router.get('/create', (req, res) => {
res.render('/admin/posts/create');
})
module.exports = router;
And I have my views folder structure as
What may be the cause of error? When I try to send response it works but when I try to render the view it shows error.

Can you try res.render('admin/posts/create');?
If the view folders is set properly like this: app.set('views', './views'), you should be able to resolve simple view name like res.render('myview') under ./views folder
