View not found when run php artisan twill:blocks

[azernov]

I've tried to add custom form field as it described in documentation. But when I run php artisan twill:blocks I get error:

Starting to scan block views directory...

   InvalidArgumentException 

  View [twill.blocks..HERE_MY_FULL_PATH_TO_RESOURCES_FOLDER.resources.views.twill.blocks.markdown] not found.

I found the problem:

twill/src/Commands/GenerateBlocks.php

Line 83 in f9a096a

$vueBlockTemplate = $this->viewFactory->make('twill.blocks.' . $basename, ['renderForBlocks' => true])->render();

Perhaps, there should be $blockName, but not $basename.

Hi @azernov, this command is not needed in Twill 2 and 3, it is legacy from when we were generating Vue components from Blade defined blocks, which isn't necessary anymore. Which part of the docs are you following?

Hi, Quentin (@ifox)

I've tried different ways according to these guides:
https://twillcms.com/guides/creating_custom_components_form_fields_and_blocks.html#content-customize-and-build
https://twillcms.com/docs/block-editor/development-workflow.html

I understand, there are some parts from previous version (for example, resources/views/admin/blocks should be resources/views/twill/blocks). I try to make Markdown block (as custom Vue component) with toast ui editor.

I prepare BlockMarkdown.vue file by `php artisan twill:blocks. Without this command when I add new block to page (in browser at cms page) it appears with empty content part.

It seems, i got it ) I skipped the following part 😄 :

The naming convention for custom blocks Vue component is deferred from the block's component name. For example, if your block's component name is a17-block-quote, the custom blocks should be assets/js/blocks/BlockQuote.vue. For component name with underscores, for example a17-amazing_quote, it would be assets/js/blocks/BlockAmazing_quote.vue.

So, if I understood correctly, I have to make BlockMarkdown.vue manually in resources/assets/js/blocks?
But if I want to bootstrap it first time, it's better to use command php artisan twill:blocks which raise error I showed above.
