Page template renders without layout template

I've been trying to figure this out on my own for a week and I now officially give up; I need help.

Between https://doc.getqor.com/guides/render.html and the qor-example, I got view/render set up but instead of serving up my home page properly, it renders the home page template without the layout template.

No error messages at all.

What I tried:

Now, if I rename application.tmpl and try again, I do get a console message saying "Failed to render layout: 'layouts/application.tmpl, got error: layouts/application.tmpl not found". That's what I expect.

I concluded that it is at least trying to load the layout template and something prevents it from doing that (but then why does it render the page template?).

Next I renamed application.tmpl to application.tmpl.bak and created a fresh application.tmpl (in case there was something wrong with my current application.tmpl) and populated it with the minimal example from https://doc.getqor.com/guides/render.html :

<!-- app/views/layout/application.tmpl -->
<html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>
    {{yield}}
  </body>
</html>

[ignoring the fact that html comment line above has the wrong directory: 'layout' should be 'layouts']

Same result: renders page template without layout template and no error messages.

Is there some way I can get more diagnostic output from the render process?

Why does it not render with even the simple layout template above?

Prior to first testing of my application I upgraded go and it is now at:
go version go1.10.1 linux/amd64.

Could the upgraded go installation be a problem?

NEVERMIND: I forgot to make a change to the simple template in my last post so I could tell the template was loading (because the browser will wrap the html fragment inside of proper tags itself) -- yes, the minimal layout template IS loading and being used, so I guess I have an issue with my original template.

I would still like to see some kind of debug message when Render finds the layout template but doesn't render it for some reason. Closing ticket.
