Error when calling a view form a controller which is inside my plguin

I've got an error that is driving me crazy, specially because it is something VERY small that I am missing.
I have a plugin which has views and controllers. I've added the route and the controller is being called perfectly

I have this folder tree:
root
-Controller
-Views
  -MyController
      -Index.cshtml

In my controller, the index action (which is correctly called):

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View("Nop.Plugin.MyPluginViews.MyController.Index");
        }

But I am getting the following error:
The view 'Nop.Plugin.MyPluginViews.MyController.Index' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
~/Themes/MyTheme/Views/MyController/Nop.Plugin.MyPluginViews.MyController.Index
....... (many other locations)

Any idea why this could be happening?

thanks,
Oscar


Never mind: setting the views as embedded resource solved it :)

If your view is not embedded in Plugin then you can use only name for return view from Plugin Controller to View which is inside the nop.web/views/myController. Following code will solve your problem.

            return View("Index");

I Had this issue recently

In your Plugin Description.txt

Here SystemName should match while returning the view name

SystemName: MyFeature.MyCustomPluginName

Wrong With "Nop.Plugin." :

           return View("~/Plugins/Nop.Plugin.MyFeature.MyCustomPluginName/Views/MyController/Configure.cshtml", model);

Correct Without "Nop.Plugin."

           return View("~/Plugins/MyFeature.MyCustomPluginName/Views/MyController/Configure.cshtml", model);


You can also check already available plugin like mail chimp etc to get an idea.
