@gmercer thanks for trying to help with hello example. Been asking all around. But never figured it out. I tried om before and ran into similar issues with some of the tutorials. I would just go to stackoverflow and someone would tell me to do something that was not in the tutorial. To move on from what ever step I was stuck at.
by any chance, is there already a helper function that transforms a path in denormalized format, to a path in normalized format?
