Same old 500 Layout default not found

[Harold Smith]

I wrote a component a few years ago that has worked and sold fine with no support issues.  I updated the code a few months ago for J3J4 compatibility and have been dealing with the Layout not found error for days and months trying to find where it is coming from.

This is a Talent Component that lists talent and photographers..... when I edit a talent and save it's fine but when I close I get the layout not found error and this is the only place in the whole component this happens.

The component works like it's supposed to on J3 with no problem.  I have been back through all of the files to no end many many times and can't find why.

Can anyone Please tell me where I might look to try and fix this.  I must have looked at the controller at least a hundred times hoping it would be there.

I can provide any code that might be needed.

Thank You

So what description of the error? Turn on debug in Joomla settings to see the stack trace. In additional you can change the LayoutHelper::render() to  LayoutHelper::debug() in your component template to see the path where the Joomla searching for layouts.

This sounds like a problem with the redirection, and at a wild guess I'd say it's something to do with the way the redirect URL is written, but as @Viper says, you're not giving us much to go on here.

I assume that in your component for J4 you have an admin provider service and a site router service.

If so, my experience is that this error occurs if I have got some naming abit wrong. This could be namespaces, class names or component names.

I do have my call stack.  The first line goes directly to the layout file not found exception

I have checked for misspelled errors more times than I can count.  Wouldn't this also reflect in J3 if it was spelling error?

I wonder if it isn't something in J4 with the checkEditID function related to Session but all else is good.

On line 3 and 4 of the stack shouldn't it be views/talents instead of  views/talent considering it should redirect to talents?

[Viper]

Do you have a `tmpl/talent/default.php` file? Looks like view cannot find template.

[Harold Smith]

Viper,

I do for the frontend view.  I'm at the backend adding a talent and it saves but it will not redirect to my talents view from the talent edit view on close. If I just go back in my browser from the error page I get the error  "You are not permitted to use that link to directly access that page (#10)." with the ID of the talent I am editing.  could this all be because of permissions or just a normal error because I forced the redirect and did not redirect properly?
