in thread Failed to find share dir for dist 'Dancer2'

I'm using https://metacpan.org/release/File-Share for this. It takes care of the case when you are in a source directory. (It only works for dist_dir/dist_file, not module_dir/module_file.)
Maybe Dancer2 could switch to File::Share.

    Whoa!It is working :)! Thank you very much!

    I'm quite surprised nobody has reported this yet: maybe all the devs have already a Dancer2 distro installed in their path :O ?

    The only thing I could still notice is that (even in templates) this function keeps returning '0.000000_000' which is probably un-related to the File::ShareDir issue though !?

      I'm pretty sure that's the case ;-)

      The version issue is probably because the $VERSION gets written into the modules only when the dist is built. Some Dist::Zilla plugin writes $Dancer2::VERSION = ... into Dancer.pm. Can't see which plugin from looking at the dist.ini, though.

        Actually I see sub VERSION { shift->SUPER::VERSION(@_) || '0.000000_000' } inside the "main" Dancer2.pm module, but I don't see any inheritance set-up: maybe there's some trickery going on inside the sub import() ? What sub is SUPER::VERSION referring to ??
