Magento 2 Custom Admin Action Redirected to Dashboard – Fix

adminadmin-controllermagento2redirecturl-key

I am taking the Magento 2 fundamentals development course and the Admin Router / Controller exercise seems out of date. The router does work, but the controller does not, it always just re-routes to the admin homepage. Code for router app/code/Training/Test/etc/adminhtml/routes.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../vendor/magento/framework/App/etc/routes.xsd">
<router id="admin">
    <route id="test" frontName="test">
        <module name="Training_Test" before="Magento_Backend" />
    </route>
</router>
</config>

Code for Admin controller app/code/Training/Test/Controller/Adminhtml/Action/Index.php:

<?php

namespace Training\Test\Controller\Adminhtml\Action;
class Index extends \Magento\Backend\App\Action
{

public function execute()
    {
    die("test reached controller");
    }
protected function _isAllowed() {
    return true;
    }
}

When I go to the admin url of admin/test/action/index it just redirects and nothing happens. If I add a constructor and use xdebug, it shows that it reaches the controller constructor, but it never does the execute part. What am I missing?

This happens because 'secret key' is missing when you just type in URL manually. Secret key feature is enabled by default and can be disabled here: Stores => Configuration => Advanced => Admin => Security => Add Secret Key to URLs. Then you should be able to reach your action.

Magento – Magento 2 – Got Error in Adminhtml Controller

Folder structure for following controller will be app/code/Test/Priya/Controller/Adminhtml/Priya in side that folder Index.php

namespace Test\Priya\Controller\Adminhtml\Priya;
use Magento\Framework\Controller\ResultFactory;
use Magento\Backend\App\Action\Context;
use Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory;

 class Index extends \Magento\Backend\App\Action
 {   
       protected $_publicActions = ['index']; 
       protected $resultPageFactory;

        /**
         * @param Context $context
         * @param PageFactory $resultPageFactory
         */
           public function __construct(
            Context $context,
            PageFactory $resultPageFactory
            ) {
            parent::__construct($context);
            $this->resultPageFactory = $resultPageFactory;
             }

            public function execute()
            {  
               echo "Hello World";
            }
}

You can hit directly controller at backend without key to test your admin controller.

priya/priya/index

To enable developer mode you can do it from .htaccess at root of your magento2 directory. Remove hash from below code.

#   SetEnv MAGE_MODE developer

app\code\Test\Priya\etc\adminhtml\routes.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/App/etc/routes.xsd">
    <router id="admin">
        <route id="priya" frontName="priya">
            <module name="Test_Priya" before="Magento_Backend" />
        </route>
    </router>
</config>

Magento2 Module – Fix ‘main.CRITICAL: Plugin Class Doesn’t Exist’

I couldn't reproduce your error, but I got an other one.

Then I did some minor adjustments to your code and it worked.
First drop the InstallSchema.php file. It does nothing so it is useless.

Then make sure that your plugin file is in Amaj/CorePlugin/Model/Currency/Plugin.php and it looks like this:

<?php

namespace Amaj\CorePlugin\Model\Currency;

class Plugin
{
    protected $logger;

    public function __construct(\Psr\Log\LoggerInterface $logger) {
        $this->logger = $logger;
    }

    /**
     * @param $subject
     * @param \Closure $proceed
     * @param $price
     * @param array $options
     * @return string
     */
    public function aroundFormatTxt(
        $subject,
        \Closure $proceed,
        $price,
        $options = []
    )
    {
        $this->logger->info('Amaj aroundFormatTxt');
        return '2';
    }

}

you don't need parent::__construct(); in the constructor because there is no parent class.
And I replaced $logger->info with $this->logger->info because there is no $logger variable.
