How to render a layout from a Controller

I am developing a payment method that when it was a fail should run a controller called Failure. When that controller is ran, a page should be displayed to notify the failure of the transaction.

Currently, the controller is being called, but I cannot show the layout yet. This is the execute method of the controller:

 

/**
* Submit the order
*
* @return void
* @throws \Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException
*/
public function execute()
{
if (!$this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
return;
}

try {
$data = $this->getRequest()->getPostValue();
$tbkIdSession = $data['TBK_ID_SESION'];
$tbkOrdenCompra = $data['TBK_ORDEN_COMPRA'];

$this->_view->loadLayout();

$failureBlock = $this->_view->getLayout()->getBlock('checkout.failure');
//$failureBlock->setQuote($tbkOrdenCompra);
$this->_view->renderLayout();
return;
} catch (\Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException $e) {
$this->messageManager->addExceptionMessage(
$e,
$e->getMessage()
);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
$this->messageManager->addExceptionMessage(
$e,
__('We can\'t place the order.')
);
}
/** @var \Magento\Framework\Controller\Result\Redirect $resultRedirect */
$resultRedirect = $this->resultFactory->create(ResultFactory::TYPE_REDIRECT);
return $resultRedirect->setPath('checkout/cart'); 
}

 

This is the layout definition. The module is called MyModule and the controller folder is called Purchase. The controller class is called Failure.

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--

-->
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="page.main.title">
<action method="setPageTitle">
<argument translate="true" name="title" xsi:type="string">Rejected!</argument>
</action>
</referenceBlock>
<referenceContainer name="content">
<block class="Magento\Checkout\Block\Onepage\Failure" name="checkout.failure" template="failure.phtml"/>
</referenceContainer>
</body>
</page>

 

The layout definition file is mymodule_purchase_failure.xml and it is actually read, since the page title is set correctly, however, failure.phtml page is not rendered since only a blank page is shown. That phtml file is inside MyModule/view/frontend/templates/onepage. I have added it in onepage folder since the block is controlled by Magento\Checkout\Block\Onepage\Failure, but I have added it in templates folder as well but with no avail.

 

Any help, please?

Re: How to render a layout from a Controller

1. You should never render layout on POST requests. Only GET requests should render layout. If you want to display error message, do a redirect to error page.

 

2. To render page you should return ResultPage instance as it's shown in official Magento 2 Code Samples repostiory: https://github.com/magento/magento2-samples/blob/master/sample-module-newpage/Controller/Index/Index...
