Hi,

Did you use https://metacpan.org/pod/Mojolicious::Renderer#paths to tell mojo about this directory?

update: foo.pl 

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use Mojolicious::Lite;
plugin 'HTMLTemplateProRenderer';
get '/' => sub {
    my $c = shift;
    return $c->render(
        'hi',
        t1 => 'the first t1',
    );
};
my $paths = app->renderer->paths;
unshift @$paths, 'exists';
app->start;
__DATA__
