Layout By Convention not working in Grails 7

[matrei]

When adding <meta name="layout" content="layoutByConvention"/> the layout is applied.

But when using the layout by convention method, the layout is not applied.

See example project with tests: https://github.com/matrei/sitemesh-bug-layout-by-convention

@matrei thanks, yeah, that is not supported at the moment, but we can get to it.

This involves coming up with a solution that is efficient and doesn't check if a file exists every time. Perhaps bake it into controller logic and just set the request layout attribute if the file exists?
