Are the file paths inside a db table?

Question

Does someone know if some file paths are stored in the database? I created 2 environments and exported one database to another but on the second environment I get the following error: exception(s):

Exception #0 (Magento\Framework\Exception\ValidatorException): Invalid template file: 'Magento_Backend::page/js/require_js.phtml' in module: 'Magento_Backend' block's name: 'require.js'

Exception #0 (Magento\Framework\Exception\ValidatorException): Invalid template file: 'Magento_Backend::page/js/require_js.phtml' in module: 'Magento_Backend' block's name: 'require.js'

#10 /var/www/pub/index.php(37): Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap->run(Object(Magento\Framework\App\Http))
#11 {main}

So because this is a core module I thing that maby there is a table that stores the paths. I tried setup:upgrade, static-content:deploy, reindexing, ... but nothing seems to work. I looked in the Database but can't find table with paths.

• Template file paths are not stored in the database.
• If you are indeed missing some files from core consider re-updating magento core.
• You can use composer for that. Remove vendor/magento and then composer update. (create backup first, do not this if you have manual changes in the core that you want to keep)
• There also might be the possibility that your custom modules are using a core block/template in an incorrect manner or without providing proper params.
