Magento 2.2 extension layout xml file being ignored

I've written an extension for my website, however the layout xml file is not being processed. I have created the controller class and frontend route and can view the URL, however the contents of the layout file is being ignored.

 

The structure of the extension is below (within the app/code directory)

 

Blacklab/Merlin/Controller/Users/Index.php

<?php
/**
 * 
 */
namespace Blacklab\Merlin\Controller\Users;

use \Magento\Framework\Controller\ResultFactory;

class Index extends \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action
{
	protected $storeManager;

	protected $resultPageFactory;

	public function __construct(
		\Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context $context,
		\Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory $resultPageFactory,
		\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager
	) {
		$this->storeManager = $storeManager;
		$this->resultPageFactory = $resultPageFactory;

		parent::__construct($context);
	}

	public function execute()
	{
		$resultPage = $this->resultFactory->create(ResultFactory::TYPE_PAGE);
		if ($navigationBlock = $resultPage->getLayout()->getBlock('customer_account_navigation')) {
			$navigationBlock->setActive('accounts/users/index');
		}
//		var_dump($resultPage->getLayout());
//		if ($block = $resultPage->getLayout()->getBlock('review_customer_list')) {
//			$block->setRefererUrl($this->_redirect->getRefererUrl());
//		}
		$resultPage->getConfig()->getTitle()->set(__('Manage Users'));
		return $resultPage;
	}
}

        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

I'm not exactly sure why the layout file is being ignored

Hi @BlackLabDigital

 

Change Blacklab/Merlin/etc/frontend/routes.xml

 

route id and frontName should be same

 

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/App/etc/routes.xsd">
    <router id="standard">
        <route id="accounts" frontName="accounts">
            <module name="Blacklab_Merlin" />
        </route>
    </router>
