title: MVC 6 Views only displaying white page
body: <p>When I try to make a new view in an area in MVC 6 it only displays a white page.  The Home/Index action works fine, and this one will hit the controller but never displays the view.  I can return content and get a display, but when I try to return the view it breaks.  Any advice?</p>
  
  <pre><code>using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.Linq;
  using System.Threading.Tasks;
  using Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc;
  using PmData.Models;

  namespace PlantManagement.Areas.Cms.Controllers
  {
      [Area("Cms")]
      public class AssetsController : Controller
      {
          // GET: /&lt;controller&gt;/
          public IActionResult Index()
          {
              return View();
          }
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>that is coupled with a blank view that calls to the main layout page.</p>
