[coldbox-4.3.0-BE] Could not find the included template //views/...

Communities ColdBox HMVC

So, I am first-time deploying a newly built app from my DEV server to a PROD environment.

Mostly all is working okay, but in one section, when I call the handler function, and it calls the view template <cfset event.setView(“Persons/persons”)> I get the following error:

“Could not find the included template //views/Persons/persons.cfm”

Note the double leading slash (!)

This doesn’t happen on my DEV server and all my other sections on PROD are working fine, using parallel coding, eg <cfset event.setView(“Organisations/organisations”)>

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Are you by chance setting your app mapping to a forward slash or something? This sort of thing can happen when you have your app in a subfolder in development, but it’s in the root of the site on production and you had code to the tune of
“/” & variableThatIsNotEmptyNowButWillBeEmptyStringOnProd & “/path/etc”

Thanks!

Hi Brad

Indeed, on DEV the filesystem looks like this:

wwwroot
—Coldbox
—MyApp

Whilst on PROD it looks like this:

MyApp
—Coldbox

My Application.cfc settings are:

// COLDBOX STATIC PROPERTY, DO NOT CHANGE UNLESS THIS IS NOT THE ROOT OF YOUR COLDBOX APP

COLDBOX_APP_ROOT_PATH = getDirectoryFromPath( getCurrentTemplatePath() );

// The web server mapping to this application. Used for remote purposes or static purposes

COLDBOX_APP_MAPPING = “”;

// COLDBOX PROPERTIES

COLDBOX_CONFIG_FILE = “”;

// COLDBOX APPLICATION KEY OVERRIDE

COLDBOX_APP_KEY = “”;

and nowhere that I can see am I adding an extra slash anywhere.

Can you see where the problem might lie?

Also, what’s puzzling is that the problem only appears for one handler - all the other handlers, using identical coding style, work fine…

Solved!

The problem was being cased by case-sensitivity. The code looked like this:

<cfset event.setView(“Persons/person”)>

But the /views/persons/ directory was all lower case.

All corrected now.
