Plone 4: Create New Template View

I have created a new product. I am able to install and uninstall it.

However, I have created a view, callable from an action(actions.xml) but I keep getting an error saying the page does not exist

This page does not seem to exist…

here is my actions.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object name="portal_actions" meta_type="Plone Actions Tool"
   xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n">

<action-provider name="portal_workflow"/>
<action-provider name="portal_types"/>
<action-provider name="portal_actions"/>

<object name="document_actions" meta_type="CMF Action Category">

    <object name="viewCatTree" meta_type="CMF Action" i18n:domain="plone">
        <property name="title" i18n:translate="">Category Tree</property>
        <property name="description" i18n:translate=""></property>
        <property name="url_expr">string:${object_url}/visual_tree_view</property>
        <property name="icon_expr"></property>
        <property name="available_expr"></property>
        <property name="permissions">
            <element value="View"/>
        </property>
        <property name="visible">True</property>
    </object>

    <!-- more actions here -->

</object>

This is how I've specified it in configure.zcml

<browser:page
    for="*"
    name="visual_tree_view"
    class=".viewlets.CategoryTreeSettingsView"
    template="../skins/category_customizations/category_view.pt"
    permission="zope2.View"
/>

I've also tried adding the @@ before the view name in the browser, but the page cannot be found. The template exists in the skins folder and it does not matter whether I change the above code to point to /templates/category_view.pt

Any ideas?

I suspect your view is raising an AttributeError or KeyError when rendered, which would also cause Plone to display a NotFound error.

Put a debug breakpoint in your view __call__ and / or __init__ methods to see if your view is being looked up and called.

That, or your configure.zcml is not being loaded at all; make sure your package is included somewhere, perhaps in the zcml variable in the plone.recipe.zope2instance part of your buildout, or in a <include /> statement in another configure.zcml file.
