Symfony - module template not loading withing layout specified in view.yml file

I inherited these symfony source files from a site previously hosted on a linux box, and developed by someone else. I'm developing on a Windows XP machine and am trying to make this site work on localhost.

I've made sure that in /apps/frontend/config/view.yml the setting below are there. (And this is a default setting for all site pages.)

has_layout: on
layout: layout

And that the selected layout is available and correct in /apps/frontend/templates/layout.php

Yet, whenever I try to load a page, in page source, I can see that it only loads the module template code, without anything around it.

Guess what, it was a syntax error in a config/settings.yml file.

I've put 'true' instead of 'on' and 'false' instead of 'off'. I'm not sure if it was a because the file contained both 'on' and 'true', or if it can only tolerate one or the other depending on version of symfony.

5 days of banging head into keyboard over a stupid file format that has no debug.

I will not use yaml files willingly again.

There could be multiple issues:

  • An error is thrown in your layout.php Have you enabled all warnings/errors and checked your log files?
  • It renders the wrong layout somehow This could happen when you have view setups for different environments. If you add <?php decorate_with('layout'); ?> to one of your views (like indexSuccess.php, does it work? Is there no override for the project view.yml in the module? Or is the template overriden with a <?php decorate_with(FALSE); ?> statement?

But my first guess is the top one: enable all logging and view your log.
