Zappa Error unable to find view (jade template) - node.js

Question

I am trying a zappa node application and am unable to get it working beyond a trivial example.
I have application.coffee
require('zappajs') ->
#set views: "#{__dirname}/views"
#set 'view engine': 'jade'
#use 'bodyParser', 'methodOverride', #app.router, 'static'
#configure
development: => #use errorHandler: {dumpExceptions: on}
production: => #use 'errorHandler'
#get '/': -> #render 'index'
and i am getting an error. Zappa seems to be prepending a guid to the file name.
example/app/views/7b16eeab-de6f-41b0-b196-8f23f4b7237d/index.jade
Here is the complete trace

Here is how my package json dependencies are setup
"dependencies": {
"coffee-script": "1.3.3",
"underscore": ">= 1.3.3",
"stylus": ">= 0.28.2",
"zappajs": ">= 0.3.10",
"jade": ">= 0.18.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
"watchr": "*",
"mocha": "*",
"chai": "*",
"request": "*"
},

Came across this myself - did not have the time to track down the cause but there is an easy workaround:
instead of
#get / : ->
#render index: {key:value}
use the more old school connect-style
#app.get '/', (req,res) ->
res.render 'index', {key:value}
Hope this helps you get over the hump.
PS:
Come to think of it, I assume it might have something to do with the way zappa evaluates coffee(k/c)up templates by default. In this case it might be trying to apply that logic to jade which breaks.
