Missing Template Splash Page Index Error - templates

Question

I get the following error when loading the root page of the server:
Template is missing
Missing template splash/index, application/index with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:html], :variants=>[], :handlers=>[:erb, :builder, :raw, :ruby, :coffee, :arb, :jbuilder]}.
My splash index page is in app/views/splash/index.html.haml
routes.rb:
root 'splash#index'
post '/signup' => 'splash#signup', as: :splash_signup
get '/spash' => 'splash#index'
The root used to direct to app/views/home/index.html.erb but I removed it and any relating code. Could this be causing my error somehow?

Answer 1

The handlers listed in your error message appear to be missing a handler for haml:
:handlers=>[:erb, :builder, :raw, :ruby, :coffee, :arb, :jbuilder]}.
Adding gem "haml" to your Gemfile, running bundle install and restarting your Rails server should fix this.
You can add the haml-rails gem instead if you want to have your generators use haml as the default for templates generated using Rails' built-in generators.
More info on haml can be found here: https://github.com/haml/haml
