Error when building, can't find the template file, even though it's in the same directory about eleventy-plugin-og-image

Just to be sure, you are using v2 of the plugin?

The inputPath of the template shall be specified relative to the root of your 11ty project. It's not possible to specify it relative to the template file in which you call the ogImage shortcode, because AFAIK I can't be sure from which file (page, layout, include) the shortCode is called. So given this project structure for example:

src/
├─ blog/
│  ├─ post.og.njk

The inputPath in the shorctode call should look like this, no matter where you are calling the shortcode from:

{% ogImage './src/blog/post.og.njk', { title: 'Hello World!' } %}

In v2 it's required to add the src/ prefix even if it's your 11ty inputDir. This will be fixed in v3, where it will be resolved relative to the inputDir. I hope this helps, otherwise please provide a minimal reproduction example.

If you didn't change plugins config inputFileGlob, I recommend sticking with the .og.njk file extension for the OG image templates. Otherwise you will end up with a HTML page generated from your OG image template.
