ASPNET MVC: I get “The view X or its master was not found or no view engine…” Error on Method that return JSON ContentResult

Question

I have a method that return json ContentResult. I call on from JavaScript file like this:

 $scope.GetUserRoles = function () {
        $http({
            method: "GET",
            url: Current.VirtualUrl + "Store/Counting/GetUserRoles"
        }).then(function mySucces(response) {
            if (response.data.Status == 1) {
                $scope.UserRoles = response.data.Data;

                $scope.GetCountingList(0, false, "CountingId", "DESC");
            }
            else {
                console.log(response);
                $scope.ShowMessage(msgWarning, msgDataFromServerFail + response.data.Data);
            }
        }, function myError(response) {
        });
    }

When calling here GetUserRoles method doesn't fire and Response.Data get this error :

 <link href="/MySite/Assets/css/pages/error.css" rel="stylesheet" /> <div class="page-500-full-page"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12 page-500"> <div class=" number"> 500 </div> <div> <h3>Oops! Something went wrong.</h3> <p> The view &#39;GetUserRoles&#39; or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Answer 1

try replacing:

url: Current.VirtualUrl + "Store/Counting/GetUserRoles"

with this:

 url:"/Store/Counting/GetUserRoles"

or make sure, you have:

url:"/ControllerName/MethodName"

in url

Answer 2

I found the problem. Base controller class override OnActionExecuting method. And an if condition prevent coming here.

Thanks for your all advices.
