I want to create a Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View block in a custom controller action (which will be used for an AJAX call later on). However I am getting the following error when creating the block (and setting the template):
Exception #0 (Magento\Framework\Exception\ValidatorException): Invalid template file: 'Vendor_Module::product.phtml' in module: 'Magento_Catalog' block's name: 'product\view_0'
app/code/Vendor/Module/Controller/Product/View.php
<?php
namespace Vendor\Module\Controller\Product;
class View extends \Magento\Catalog\Controller\Product
{
protected $layoutFactory;
protected $resultFactory;
public function __construct(
\Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context $context,
\Magento\Framework\View\LayoutFactory $layoutFactory,
\Magento\Framework\Controller\Result\RawFactory $resultFactory
) {
$this->layoutFactory = $layoutFactory;
$this->resultFactory = $resultFactory;
parent::__construct($context);
}
public function execute()
{
$block = $this->layoutFactory->create()
->createBlock('Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View')
->setTemplate('Vendor_Module::product.phtml')
->toHtml();
$result = $this->resultFactory->create();
$result->setContents($block);
return $result;
}
}
app/code/Vendor/Module/view/frontend/product.phtml
<p>Hello World!</p>
app/code/Vendor/Module/etc/frontend/routes.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:App/etc/routes.xsd">
<router id="standard">
<route id="foo" frontName="foo">
<module name="Vendor_Module" />
</route>
</router>
</config>
I can't find the mistake. The definition of the template (Vendor_Module::product.html) plus the template's location should be correct. I also tried putting the template directly in app/code/Vendor/Module/view - but that did not change anything.
What could be the problem here?
