Unable to find template: Creating a simple Controller and view

Question

My controller is /src/AppBundle/Controller/TestsController.php and the class is:

class TestsController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @Route("/tests/index", name="testsIndex")
     */
    public function indexAction(Request $request)
    {
        return $this->render('AppBundle::tests\index.html.twig', [
            'text' => "Hello world"
        ]);
    }
}

My view is /src/AppBundle/Resources/views/tests/index.html.twig and contains:

{{text}}

But when I try to open http://localhost/project/web/tests/index the error shows:

Unable to find template "AppBundle::tests/index.html.twig" (looked into: D:\www\project\app/Resources/views, D:\www\project\vendor\symfony\symfony\src\Symfony\Bridge\Twig/Resources/views/Form).

I followed this thread which error is pretty much the same but still can't find the mistake. It's driving me nuts.

Thanks!

One colon after the AppBundle is all you need but that syntax is going away. Use @App/tests/index.html.twig https://symfony.com/doc/3.4/templating.html#referencing-templates-in-a-bundle — Cerad, Jul 14 '18 at 22:44
See the [accepted answer here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47832977/symfony-3-4-use-view-inside-my-bundle/47835716#47835716) if you want to know why the old format does not work and what is needed to enable it. But again, just use the twig namespace @ format. — Cerad, Jul 14 '18 at 22:56
A thousand thanks to you, @App/tests/index.html.twig worked like a charm! — Rajo, Jul 14 '18 at 23:36

Should work, but try AppBundle:tests:index.html.twig.

You might also want to use uppercase Tests instead of tests. More conventional.

Yeah, kind of thought so... try what Cerad suggested. If that still does not work please post your structure. Is AppBundle your namespace root? – Padam87 Jul 14 '18 at 23:02

Cerad's solution was perfectly right:

@App/tests/index.html.twig

/**
 * @Route("/tests/index", name="testsIndex")
 */
public function indexAction(Request $request)
{
    return $this->render('tests\index.html.twig', [
        'text' => "Hello world"
    ]);
}

This should work.
