New Frontend Package tries to find wrong assets

[mikebranderhorst]

With the latest version (now) after I made a blank new Frontend Package:

/design/frontend/shop/default/skin/default

Mage_Core_Model_Design_Package tries to find pub/js/css/styles.css which does not exists...

Let me know if I do something wrong here...

I assume that a new package has the default package as fallback?

Most likely you forgot to create theme.xml file. Developer is supposed to specify a parent theme, otherwise the fallback mechanism will try to reach module view directory (if module context is applied) or the last resort is pub/js directory.

More details:

• https://wiki.magento.com/display/MAGE2DOC/Design+Themes (it seems like this article is similar, but check it out: https://wiki.magento.com/display/MAGE2DOC/Theme+Development)
• https://wiki.magento.com/display/MAGE2DOC/View+Files+Fallback+Model

Does that answer your question?
