This error is thrown after trying to reinstall the module after uninstalling it. Seems like on uninstall. It doesn't remove that field entity.

FieldException: Attempt to create field name cet_enable which already exists and is active. in field_create_field() (line 85 of /modules/field/field.crud.inc).

This patch would solve the problem in two ways:

  • check that the field/instance does not exist before attempting to create it
  • delete instances on uninstall

I still get this error when trying to uninstall and reinstall.

FieldException: Attempt to create a field of unknown type list_boolean. in field_create_field() (line 110 of E:\Websites\drupaltest-7\htdocs\modules\field\field.crud.inc)
