Accessing a controller with same name as shared view

[Adam Schroder]

Hi,

If I have the default website converted to spark and type this url:

http://website.com/Error/ 

It tries to render the error view. The same goes for all views in the Shared folder.
This means i can't have a controller called ErrorController as it will not work.

Does anyone else get this issue?

Thanks.

Anyone else getting this issue?
Can anyone validate that this doesn't happen to them?

Can't see how that would be. Maybe there's an error boing thrown? Can
you set a breakpoint in the actions of that controller to see if
they're reached?

Ok..i have figured some stuff out. I was getting some bad caching which was causing some issues however, in a certain situation in CreateController i return an instance of ErrorController with an action of Notfound, however the notfound view renders without the master page, somehow bypassing it. I tried this with a webforms view and master page and it works as expected.

Not sure why the Application.spark doesn't get run.
Any ideas?

If the view is name Notfound and then i try and access the NotFound
controller then i get no master page rendering.
If the view is named Notfound1 and then i try and access the NotFound
controller then i get a master page rendering.

Ah! I think that's your clue! There's a convention where the
controller will use a master layout of it's name before falling back
to a layout named Application.

So you can add an Account.spark file that will be the layout for all
actions on the AccountController.

But if you have a NotFoundController it'll use NotFound as the view
and again as the layout. So I think you're seeing only the result of
notfound used as the master layout.

Try adding <use master="Application"/> to the view to prevent it from
using the layout named after the error or notfound controller.
