**Error found:** Apparently the problem was that another class 'Edit' which extends 'Slide' was mispelled in the class-declaration. Instead of reporting a missing class 'Edit' it gave me that weird error. --- I am trying to create an edit page in the Backend for my Entity. I have succeeded in setting up the Grid with help of several tutorials, but when I try to call upon the edit page I get just a blank page and following error in my php error.log: [Wed May 24 12:11:10.565841 2017] [:error] [pid 29789] [client 192.168.144.27:58131] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to Myvendor\\Slideshow\\Controller\\Adminhtml\\Slide::__construct() must be an instance of Magento\\Backend\\App\\Action\\Context, instance of Magento\\Framework\\ObjectManager\\ObjectManager given, called in /var/www/html/magento2/vendor/magento/framework/ObjectManager/Factory/AbstractFactory.php on line 93 and defined in /var/www/html/magento2/app/code/Myvendor/Slideshow/Controller/Adminhtml/Slide.php:39 nStack trace: #0 /var/www/html/magento2/vendor/magento/framework/ObjectManager/Factory/AbstractFactory.php(93): Myvendor\\Slideshow\\Controller\\Adminhtml\\Slide->__construct(Object(Magento\\Framework\\ObjectManager\\ObjectManager)) #1 /var/www/html/magento2/vendor/magento/framework/ObjectManager/Factory/Compiled.php(88): Magento\\Framework\\ObjectManager\\Factory\\AbstractFactory->createObject('Myvendor\\\\Slidesho...', Array) #2 /var/www/html/magento2/vendor/magento/framework/ObjectManager/ObjectManager.php(57): Magento\\Framework\\ObjectManager\\Factory\\Compiled->create('Myvendor\\\\Slidesho...', Array) #3 in /var/www/html/magento2/app/code/Myvendor/Slideshow/Controller/Adminhtml/Slide.php on line 39, Myvendor\Slideshow\Controller\Adminhtml\Slide.php: namespace Myvendor\Slideshow\Controller\Adminhtml; use Magento\Backend\App\Action; use Magento\Framework\Registry; use Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory; use Myvendor\Slideshow\Model\SlideFactory; abstract class Slide extends Action { /** * Core registry * * @var \Magento\Framework\Registry */ protected $_coreRegistry; /** * Result page factory * * @var \Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory */ protected $_resultPageFactory; /** * Slide model factory * * @var \Myvendor\Slideshow\Model\SlideFactory */ protected $_slideFactory; /** * @param \Magento\Backend\App\Action\Context $context * @param Registry $coreRegistry * @param PageFactory $resultPageFactory * @param SlideFactory $slideFactory */ public function __construct( \Magento\Backend\App\Action\Context $context, Registry $coreRegistry, PageFactory $resultPageFactory, SlideFactory $slideFactory ) { parent::__construct($context); $this->_coreRegistry = $coreRegistry; $this->_resultPageFactory = $resultPageFactory; $this->_slideFactory = $slideFactory; } /** * Slide access rights checking * * @return bool */ protected function _isAllowed() { return $this->_authorization->isAllowed('Myvendor_Slideshow::manage_slide'); } } I am not sure what other classes or xml I need to look at to figure out where this error is coming from. This leaves me rather perplexed right now. I checked the namespaces, they seem all correct. How do I go best about debugging this? I've cleared var/generation to no effect.
