Electron Project cannot file with correct path - electron

Question

I have the following function that is trying to load a .ejs file with the following path.
function PaintNewOpponent() {
ejs.renderFile('views/NewOpponent.ejs', {pPlayer:pPlayerLocal}, function(err, str) {
$("#AddPlayerDialog").html(str);
alert(err)
RenderEvents();
FillInModalinformation()
});
}
I have run an alert check with __dirname and have discovered that I am in the correct directory. Here is a screenshot of my explorer window from Visual Studio Code.
the directory html is in my root directory. __dirname returns that I am in /html/js. PaintNewOpponent() is inside my NewOpponent.js file. Yet the ejs.renderFile call comes back in error saying it cannot file the file. Everything is in place.
If necessary here is package.json file

I don't know if this will help but what I do is to build an absolute path using the path library (actually I use upath for cross platform compatibility because I often need to save the path to a file).
const iconPath = upath.joinSafe(__dirname, 'app', 'assets', 'win_icon_64x64.png');
