I've been stuck at this for about two days now. I'm currently writing a plugin, following the docs as closely as possible. However... When I tried to open my create/update pages, I get the error:

"Form behavior has not been initialized, check that you have called initForm() in your controller."

I have included Backend.Behaviors.FormController in the controller. I have also included the formConfig variable. I have a correctly formatted yaml file and a create.htm similar to the one in the docs. I tried everything. Followed the instructions from the docs exactly, but still getting the error. What could I be doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Try this in your controller:

public function index()
{
    $this->getClassExtension('Backend.Behaviors.FormController')->index();
}

Tried that, results in this error:

Call to undefined method Backend\Behaviors\FormController::index()

Can you paste your controller code here so we can see where the problem might be?

Controller code: http://laravel.io/bin/zXrDD

Form config yaml: http://laravel.io/bin/qYE36

Can you paste your create.htm also?

Here you go: http://laravel.io/bin/Dlkw9

Really? Nobody who's had this before?

Tried actually calling this in your controller like the error message suggests?

$this-> initForm();

Found the culprit. Apparently, Sublime text was automatically adding 'tabs' to my yaml files when I jumped to a new line, thus causing a corrupt file. The formRender method simply couldn't read the yaml file and threw an error, because it wasn't receiving anything from the model and therefore thought initForm hadn't been called.
