I have gone through the documentation, which is a bit too vague, and tried many things, but I still am getting an error that the template file is missing.
I had this working sending back a json response in 3.0 using ext='json', yet after updating to 3.1 it is broken. I checked the migration guide and tried changing ext to _ext, setting up the Routes with: Router::extensions(['json']); in the controller method I am using the _serialize key which is supposed to render without the template: $this->set('_serialize', ['salesPeople']); The JsonView class does not appear to be loading and I don't see in the documentation where I am supposed to set it. The documentation says ' you can automatically leverage the new view classes' By enabling RequestHandlerComponent in your application, and enabling support for the json and or xml extensions, but I have enabled it in the Initialize method of the controller and enabled the 'json' extension as mentioned earlier and it is still not working. Here is the method in question: public function getSalesPeopleSelectList() { $this->request->accepts('json'); // No direct access via browser URL $dealerId = $this->request->params['pass'][0]; $this->RequestHandler->renderAs($this, 'ajax'); //$this->viewClass = 'Json'; $this->loadModel('SalesPeople'); $salesPeople = $this->Purchases->SalesPeople->find('list')->where(['is_active'=>'1','user_id'=>$dealerId]); //for salespeople options for autocomplete $this->set(compact('salesPeople')); $this->set('_serialize', ['salesPeople']); } When I enable the _ext = json I get the following error: 2015-10-14 06:57:36 Error: [Cake\Controller\Exception\MissingActionException] Action PurchasesController::getSalesPeopleSelectList.json() could not be found, or is not accessible.
