I am playing with custom dashboard widgets and I am falling short of success.  
I am practicing with a simple html widget first.  
Documentation states anything ruby can read will work, but I am getting this error:

I have the file placed properly and names properly (I believe).  
Is there any additional configuration I need to enable this?

I think the path should be

```auto
/etc/ood/config/apps/dashboard/views/widgets

```

Not just `views`.
