Target class [sage.view] does not exist

I set up a Sage 10 theme, I have the following Symfony exception on the frontend :

Target class [sage.view] does not exist.

It seems to be due to the following declaration in [theme-name]/index.php :

<div id="app">
  <?php echo view(app('sage.view'), app('sage.data'))->render(); ?>
</div>

Is it a wrong config of my theme or local environment ?

I precise I’m .running my local env via a Docker setup with DDEV on WSL2, I’m normally respecting all needed config (PHP version…etc…). I installed Acorn via the plugin in Wordpress backoffice.

Thank you for any help !

I got this error once after merging branches and in my case checking out the repo in a fresh folder fixed it. So everything in the repo after the merge was good, but something in that local such as caches or other files must have been the cause.

I never found out what really caused it, but it sounds like your scenario is with a fresh instance of Sage. So I don’t know this will help.

Acorn as a plugin has had some issues too, might look through here for threads about that, but I don’t know about that specifically. I’ve only ever installed Acorn in Bedrock at the root of the projects.

I’m having exactly the same issue. Fresh Sage install on WSL and get the [sage.view] does not exist error.

Are y’all using Acorn v2 or v3? Sage 10 right now expects Acorn v2 and requires some modifications to work with v3

Yeah I think I bumped into the same issue using Acorn v3. I didn’t notice the

Target class [sage.view] does not exist.

errors right away, because I was using it in a headless theme (no front-end views), but it’s the same error.

Problem fixed by downgrading Acorn from v3 to v2, thank you very much for your help !
Also thanks everyone for other anwsers and suggestions !

Have a nice day

I am encountering this problem with Acorn v2.1.2.

"Target class [sage.view] does not exist."

When I try to update from Acorn v1 to v2
