7 years ago You could use @extends('master') and leave the file on the templates root, but it's better to group layouts in it's own subfolder, thus @extends('layouts.master') is preferred. I'll add a note on thereadme.md` to better explain that the dot syntax means subfolder.
I got the Undefined property and Fatal error: Method Illuminate\View\View::__toString() must not throw an exception errors a few time too. The error message is indeed not very helpful. I haven't thought of catching the errors myself, I'll definitely look into that. Thank you very much for the suggestion!
I'll check out the kirby-twig code too 😉

So I used the
master.blade.phpanddefault.blade.phpexamples from the README, but got an error catched by Whoops:And nothing in the stack trace, so Whoops showed my
index.php, which was not very useful.With Whoops disabled, I get this error printed in the page:
Turned out I was using
@extends('layouts.master')but had put mymaster.blade.phpat the root of the templates folder, rather than in a layouts subfolder. But with no relevant errors, that can be hard to figure out.In this specific case, both the basic error and the Whoops error handler page show the same unhelpful error. Here is a case where Whoops shows that unhelpful error but the basic error output is more helpful:
Basic output:
Whoops output:
For the record, I wrote https://github.com/fvsch/kirby-twig and since Twig was reporting meaningful errors but not adding them to a stack trace, I had to skip using Whoops and catch the errors myself to display an error page. Feel free to reuse my code if you think you want to do something similar.
