I am trying to run a very simple app:
1 javascript file:
Router.route('/', function () {
this.render('home');
});
if (Meteor.isClient) {
Template.home.events({
'click button': function () {
console.log('click!');
}
});
}
and 1 html file:
<head>
<title>iron router test</title>
</head>
<body>
{{> defaultLayout}}
</body>
<template name="defaultLayout">
<header>
{{> yield "header"}}
</header>
<article>
{{> yield}}
</article>
<footer>
{{> yield "footer"}}
</footer>
</template>
<template name="home">
{{#contentFor "header"}}
<button>click header</button>
{{/contentFor}}
<button>click</button>
{{#contentFor "footer"}}
<button>click footer</button>
{{/contentFor}}
</template>

Well, like your error says you're missing an iron layout.
Could look something like this in your lib/router.js or wherever you hold your router code:
Router.configure({
layoutTemplate: 'layout',
loadingTemplate: 'loading'
});
And so the respective <template name="layout"> should be there.

This is not how iron:router layouts are supposed to work.
Get rid of your explicit inclusion of the layout in the body :
{{! this is WRONG, remove the body tag altogether }}
<body>
{{> defaultLayout}}
</body>
The place where your specify the layoutTemplate is in the RouteController :
Router.route('/', function () {
this.render('home');
},{
layoutTemplate:"defaultLayout"
});
Declaring explicitly your RouteControllers is usually a nicer design pattern.
lib/router.js
Router.route("/",{
// give the route a name so it figures out itself to use :
// - HomeController
// - a template name "home"
name:"home"
});
lib/controllers/lib/default-layout.js
DefaultLayoutController=RouteController.extend({
layoutTemplate:"defaultLayout"
});
lib/controllers/home.js
HomeController=DefaultLayoutController.extend({
//
});
