Missing '$template' parameter when rendering template in hookActionValidateOrder

[junkypic]

I'm using Prestashop 1.7.6.4 to develop a payment module. I want to render a template in a hook. I'm doing that via the following code:

class MyModuleName extends PaymentModule
{

    public function hookActionValidateOrder($params)
    {
        /**
         * Verify if this module is enabled
         */
        if (!$this->active) {
            return;
        }

        if (Configuration::get('inline')) {
            $this->context->smarty->assign([
                'module' => $order->module
            ]);

            return $this->display(__FILE__,
                'views/templates/hook/displayStatusOrder.tpl');

        }
        // more code goes here
    }

}

Do note that I've also tried with 

return $this->fetch('module:myModule/views/templates/hook/displayStatusOrder.tpl');

results are the same.

However I'm getting the following error:

(1/1) SmartyException
0():Missing '$template' parameter

in smarty_internal_templatebase.php line 177
at Smarty_Internal_TemplateBase->_execute(null, null, 'layouts/layout-full-width.tpl', null, 0)
in smarty_internal_templatebase.php line 116
at Smarty_Internal_TemplateBase->fetch(null, null, 'layouts/layout-full-width.tpl', null, false, true, false)

at FrontControllerCore->display()
in Controller.php line 312
at ControllerCore->run()
in Dispatcher.php line 515
at DispatcherCore->dispatch()
in index.php line 74

I'm absolutely sure that my template exists. And it has the correct name.

The template contains the following code:

{if $module == "myModule"}
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function() {
           alert('test');
        });

        alert('test');
    </script>
{/if}

My folder structure is like so:

    myModuleName
      views
        templates
          hook
            displayStatusOrder.tpl

I think it's because I'm trying to render it in this specific hook. It seems that for other hooks rendering templates works just fine.

I've tried deleting the cache, reinstalling the module, etc etc.

I'm clearly missing something obvious. Any help is appreciated.

hookActionValidateOrder is an action hook, not a display hook, so you can not display a template.

You need to check in your template where you want to display your code which hooks are available.

Indeed that was the problem. 

For my case specifically I had to reroute to a controller and display a tpl with some javascript in it.

Hi,

How did you solve this error. I am having the same issue over here after installing a module to change template colors.

Why don't you ask it directly to the module developer? 😇
