[Bug]: Error after updating to 24.11.0 - TypeError: path must be absolute or specify root to res.sendFile

[ykiran]

Verified issue does not already exist?

• I have searched and found no existing issue
• I will be providing steps how to reproduce the bug (in most cases this will also mean uploading a demo budget file)

What happened?

I've updated to the latest version 24.11.0 following these steps:

• Stop server
• Run git pull
• yarn install
• yarn start

And then I opened the browser to: localhost:5006

Message shown was "Initializing connection to local database....." seemed stuck so I refreshed the page and now the page asks me to "Download File" and I do so. Again, the page is stuck on "Downloading" message.

Here is the output I see currently in the terminal:

Kiran@Kiran-PC D:\Actual\actual-server git:(master)
(0) > yarn start

Checking if there are any migrations to run for direction "up"...
Migrations: DONE
