I keep getting a Slim Application Error.

Slim Application Error The application could not run because of the following error:

composer version is 3.7 if that helps. my code is...

<?php
    require 'vendor/autoload.php';
    date_default_timezone_get('Asia/Seoul');
    $config = ['settings' => ['displayErrorDetails' => true]];

    $app = new \Slim\App($config, array(
    'templates.path' => './test-folder'
));

    $app->get('/', function()  use($app){
        $app->display('index.html');
    });

    $app->get('/contact', function() use($app){
        $app->render('contact.html');
    });

$app->run();

<?php require 'vendor/autoload.php'; date_default_timezone_get('Asia/Seoul'); $config = ['settings' => ['displayErrorDetails' => true]];

$app = new \Slim\App($config);

$app->get('/', function()  use($app){
    $app->display('index.html');
});

$app->get('/contact', function() use($app){
    $app->render('contact.html');
});

$app->run();

Well, i removed the arrays still nothing.

Hi Aero Camacho,

As shown on the GitHub page, you need to return your rendered views otherwise the application won't know it has anything to render.

$app->get('/', function()  use ($app) {
  return $app->render('index.html');
});

$app->get('/contact', function() use ($app) {
  return $app->render('contact.html');
});

Happy coding!
