New Unable to Load Theme by Theme ID Issue

[SJ_Med]

Running open 2.3.4...

Developing new theme from scratch. So far with only:

• composer.json

  • {
        "name": "Hopeful/Blazer",
        "description": "Primary Theme for new site",
        "require": {
            "php": "~7.1.3||~7.2.0||~7.3.0",
            "Hopeful/Blazer": "100.0.*",
            "magento/framework": "*",
            "magento/theme-frontend-blank": "*"
        },
        "type": "magento2-theme",
        "version": "100.0.1",
        "license": [
            "OSL-3.0",
            "AFL-3.0"
        ],
        "autoload": {
            "files": [
                "registration.php"
            ]
        }
    }

• registration.php

  • <?php
    /**
     * Copyright © 2020 Hopeful. All rights reserved.
     */
    \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
        \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::THEME,
      'frontend/Hopeful/Blazer',
        __DIR__
    );

• theme.xml

  • <theme xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Config/etc/theme.xsd">
    <title>Hopeful Blazer</title>
    <parent>Magento/Blank</parent>
    <media>
    <preview_image>media/preview.jpg</preview_image>
    </media>
    </theme>

• media/preview.jpg

I get "Unable to load theme by specified key: 'Hopeful/Blazer'.....

Directory structure:

app/design/Hopeful/blazer/

I can't seem to figure this one out and it should be simple - there's nothing here yet... Or is there something missing that should be?

I can't capture the error in red as it disappears quickly on my SSH, but here's the output after I run 

rm -rf /pub/static/*

rm -rf /var/view_preprocessed/*

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

Thanks.

One addition:

When I run query like: select * from core_config_data  where path like '%theme%', there is no data returned. i.e. I have no rows in my core_config_data table that have anything like theme in them. Perhaps this is part of the issue. I've been running the site so far with Luma theme.

This is my first attempt at theme development, and the site has been fine with Luma as it's base up to this point. Obviously, Luma works for basics and development, but as we get ready to go live, a more specific look is needed, and that's where I'm now at.

Thanks again.

Hello,

@SJ_Med 

you miss one step setup:upgrade after add theme files.

If works then mark as solution

Wow - do I feel stupid - thought I'd done this, but obviously not.

Thank you!
