Debugging errors like "An error occurred while trying to call Vendor\ExtKey\Controller\ModelController->showAction() " in extbase extensions

ModelController.php

	/**
	 * A special action which is called if the originally intended action could
	 * not be called, for example if the arguments were not valid.
	 *
	 * The default implementation sets a flash message, request errors and forwards back
	 * to the originating action. This is suitable for most actions dealing with form input.
	 *
	 * We clear the page cache by default on an error as well, as we need to make sure the
	 * data is re-evaluated when the user changes something.
	 *
	 * @return string

Good to know, helped us a lot! Thanks!

Hi. Is there a way to trigger this (to test it)?

Got the error now... BUT! If I clean my cache from Backend (the 3) then everything works as expected... how can this be a validation problem? ANy Idea?

Thank you so much! Saved my day!

Very helpful. Thanks.
