Grails 3.1.10 Can't find views

Question

I have a 'JacketController' with a method show() trying to render a model to the view worklist.gsp

  def show() {
        LOG.debug("JacketController:show()")
        render(view:"worklist", model:PatientSearchResult.list()) as HTML
    }

But every time I call the action from the browser I get the error:

[Could not resolve view with name '/jacket/worklist' in servlet with name 'grailsDispatcherServlet'] with root cause  StandardWrapperValve.java 250 javax.servlet.ServletException: Could not resolve view with name /jacket/worklist' in servlet with name 'grailsDispatcherServlet'...

I would think it's telling me worklist.gsp doesn't exist or is in the wrong place but worklist.gsp is in the grails-app/views/jacket directory.

My url mapping looks as follows:

        "/jacket" {
        controller = { 'jacket' }
        action = { GET: 'show' }
    }

I don't know if I'm missing a plugin or what but my build.gradle is here:(forgive the formatting)

buildscript {
ext {
    grailsVersion = project.grailsVersion
}
repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    maven { url "https://repo.grails.org/grails/core" }
}

    classpath "org.grails:grails-gradle-plugin:$grailsVersion"
    classpath "org.grails.plugins:hibernate4:5.0.10"
    classpath "org.grails.plugins:views-gradle:1.0.12"
    classpath "com.bertramlabs.plugins:asset-pipeline-gradle:2.11.2"
 }} configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
    if (details.requested.name == 'log4j') {
        details.useTarget "org.slf4j:log4j-over-slf4j:1.7.5"
    }
    if (details.requested.name == 'commons-logging') {

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

quindimildev posted the answer in the comment.

I should have created an app with the web profile to begin with. So, I created a new project with the web profile and compared the resulting build files with the existing app.

I brought over the dependencies that were missing in the REST profile and commented out a couple that might have conflicted.
