Master Page List Not Refreshing
I am setting up the shop app and I created some templates in:
perch/templates/pages/
I then decided to move them into a shop sub folder like I had previously done for blog so I now have:
perch/templates/pages/shop/
I also created some more by duplicating existing ones.
When I go into perch admin, page options and try to set the master page the list has not refreshed properly. I still have the templates appearing in the general section and they also appear in the shop section. One is still showing as products copy as I had duplicated the file in Coda editor even though I have since renamed it. I had it stick like this a few minutes ago but by logging out and in again and generally clicking around it seemed to refresh partly. I have tried republishing all pages and still the list is not refreshing.
If I select products copy for the master page even though the file has since been renamed I get the following error in Debug.

That message means that PHP is not able to find a file at that location or is unable to open a file at that location - that's not coming from Perch. So something is off in where these files are.
The products copy.php is not there, that is my problem the file that is there is called product_list.php but that will not appear on the dropdown list in perch admin to select as the master page to use. The whole list is not responding to any changes I make to the files in the
folder.
As you can see the two do not represent each other and I have no idea where Local file has appeared from on the list.
Do you see it listed in the Master Pages section of the control panel?
Yes that has mostly solved the issue. I have been able to delete the master pages that did not exist as files in the /perch/templates/pages/ folder using the Master Pages section of admin, and the dropdown list for master pages in page options now represents the files that do exist. Apart from I still have an entry for "Local File" in the general section of the dropdown list, but this is not shown in the Master Pages section of admin for me to delete.
That's a special entry to indicate that you're using a file placed locally in the site rather than a master page. This would be the case if e.g. upgrading a site from Perch to Runway.
It is a new site starting from scratch so I don't know what it is picking up on, but I can live with one extra entry on the list.
It's a special entry - it's there for a purpose.
