This doesn't make sense to me, why does it look for the index within an equipment folder?!?!?

I get this warning message in the windows application event logs usually at least once a day.

Exception type: InvalidOperationException 
Exception message: The view 'Index' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
~/Views/Equipment/Index.aspx
~/Views/Equipment/Index.ascx
~/Views/Shared/Index.aspx
~/Views/Shared/Index.ascx
~/Views/Equipment/Index.cshtml
~/Views/Equipment/Index.vbhtml
~/Views/Shared/Index.cshtml
~/Views/Shared/Index.vbhtml

I have the following structure:

Controllers (folder)

• Service.cs (file)

View (folder)

• Services (folder)
  • Equipment.cshtml

There are only links to the equipment URL are:

@Html.ActionLink("Equipment", "equipment", "services", null, new { @class = "dropdown-item" })

and

@Html.ActionLink("Equipment", "equipment", "services", null, new { @class = "green" })

In case it is relevant this is the view code for Equipment within the Services.cs file:

[Route("equipment")]
public ActionResult Equipment()
{
    return View();
}

P.S. Using MVC 5.2.9, Razor 3.2.9 and .Net Framework 4.7.2

EDIT: As requested by Victor here is the RegisterRoutes method, there is nothing special occuring.

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
    routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

    routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();

    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "Default",
        url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
        defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );

    routes.MapRoute(
        "Error", // Route name
        "Error", // URL with parameters
        new { controller = "Error", action = "Index" });
}

For Yiyi You, here is the code for ServicesController.cs:

[RoutePrefix("services")]
public class ServicesController : Controller
{
    [Route]
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }

    [Route("equipment")]
    public ActionResult Equipment()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

CodePudding user response：

For the error,you can try to change the folder name and cshtml file name:

View (folder)

  Equipment (folder)

    Index.cshtml

Or you can try to share more code in Service.cs.

CodePudding user response：

At least one problem exists in the code. The "default" route is universal - the second "Error" will never used. Fix to:

routes.MapRoute(
    "Error", // Route name
    "Error", // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "Error", action = "Index" });

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Default",
    url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
