EE4 Add-on Fieldtype Bug
Developer Preview
7 years ago
In a fieldtype file, in the display_field() method, if you return a call to EE’s view loader like so:
return ee()->load->view('my_addon_view', ...);
It only works if caching is turned on (even if you delete the contents of the /system/user/cache) but if caching is disabled, you get Unable to load the requested file: my_addon_view.php.
We added a var_dump of $this->_ci_view_paths in the /system/ee/legacy/core/Loader.php _ci_load() method right before the show_error()conditional and when caching is enabled, our add-on is listed in the view paths; when caching is disabled, it is not listed.

Try returning an ee('View') object instead. The code will look something like:
return ee('View')->make('my_addon:my_addon_view')->render([
'var1' => 'foo',
'var2' => 'bar',
]);
