When a bal file is missing, you don't get an error or warning in the Log window and you wouldn't notice the problem until your app tries to load the bal file in question. The larger a project, the harder for the problem to surface.

I'm not sure whether this should be a bug or a wish, and I just want an error or a warning to remind me to correct the problem ASAP.

Are you using the latest version of the B4A IDE?
I get a warning when my 'cat_layout.bal' file is missing...

Right now I get lots of other warnings which I haven't decided how to deal with yet. I think that it should be an error to make it stand out.

When the IDE detects errors it will at some point (don't know when) stop parsing and reporting errors for the rest of the code. Fix your errors first, and then the error for the missing layout should show up.

No other errors.

You don't see an error until I run the app and try to open the page with the missing layout file.

This is not a bug.
Technically it is not a strict error. There are many important warnings and you should either fix them or explicitly ignore them. The warning list should be empty.
