Server error when creating a dashlet

[jflores]

I'm trying to create a dashlet to show Knowledge Base Articles from a certain category of articles. I've created dashlets before, usually without a hitch. However, with this, I'm getting this error:

Espo.ERROR: Uncaught Exception Error: "Class 'Espo\Services\NotFound' not found" at /var/www/html/espocrm/application/Espo/Services/Layout.php line 56 {"exception":"[object] (Error(code: 0): Class 'Espo\\Services\\NotFound' not found at /var/www/html/espocrm/application/Espo/Services/Layout.php:56)"} []

This is my code in Custom/Resources/metadata/dashlets/KnowledgeBaseArticles.json

{
  "view":"views/dashlets/abstract/record-list",
  "entityType": "KnowledgeBaseArticle",
  "options": {
      "fields": {
          "title": {
              "type": "varchar",
              "required": true
          },
          "autorefreshInterval": {
              "type": "enumFloat",
              "options": [0, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10]
          },
          "displayRecords": {
              "type": "enumInt",
              "options": [5,10]
          }
      },
      "defaults": {
        "displayRecords": 5,
        "primary": "usingThePortalArticles"
      },
      "layout": [
          {
              "rows": [
                  [
                      {"name": "title"},
                      {"name": "autorefreshInterval"}
                  ]
              ]
          }
      ]
  }
}

If I remove the "entityType," no error, but also no info. It says "Please select your entity type." If I try a different entityType, I get the same server error.

I don't think my view is the problem, but here it is:

define('custom:views/dashlets/knowledge-base-articles','views/dashlets/abstract/base',function (Dep) {
  return Dep.extend({
    name: 'Knowledge Base Articles',
    template: 'custom:dashlets/knowledge-base-articles'
  })
});

I'm sure I'm over-looking something dumb, but I can't see it :-/

Thanks in advance for the help!

PS. I've even tried stripping it down to the bare example from here: https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...e-a-dashlet.md and adding a basic entityType...it errors out.

Hi,

I run into this old posting while working on a new dashlet.

In case you haven't found a solution, I think that the problem is that you are missing a "expandedLayout" default value so Espo doesn't know what the layout of each record row should be like.

I tested the following code and is working fine:

custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/dashlets/KnowledgeBaseArticles.json

{
    "view":"views/dashlets/abstract/record-list",
    "entityType": "KnowledgeBaseArticle",
    "options": {
        "fields": {
            "title": {
                "type": "varchar",
                "required": true
            },
            "autorefreshInterval": {
                "type": "enumFloat",
                "options": [0, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10]
            },
            "displayRecords": {
                "type": "enumInt",
                "options": [5,10]
            },
            "expandedLayout": {
                "type": "base",
                "view": "views/dashlets/fields/records/expanded-layout"
            }
        },
        "defaults": {
            "displayRecords": 5,
            "expandedLayout": {
                "rows": [
                    [
                        {
                            "name": "name",
                            "link": true
                        }
                    ],
                    [
                        {
                            "name": "status"
                        },
                        {
                            "name": "createdAt"
                        }
                    ]
                ]
            },
            "searchData": {
                "primary": "usingThePortalArticles"
            }
        },
        "layout": [
            {
                "rows": [
                    [
                        {"name": "title"}
                    ],

                        {"name": "displayRecords"},
                        {"name": "autorefreshInterval"}
                    ],
                    [
                        {"name": "expandedLayout", "fullWidth": true}
                    ]
                ]
