Broken/Missing handler in views Drupal 8

By aamouri on 22 Jun 2016 at 13:03 UTC

Hi,

I have a big problem with views of Drupal 8.
I added a new field in the taxonomy A. Then, in a view, i added a contextual filter using this field.
On the local environment, everything works. While, in the test environment and after deployment, it shows me "Broken / Missing Handler" instead of the filter name on the edit view screen.
Do you have an idea about the problem ?
FYI : I share the same configuration between local and test environments
To export the config: I use "drush cex" and to import it, i use "drush cim"

Thx

I have exactly the same issue

It is working locally on OSX and Linux VM (4 different machines)
It is not working on stage ubuntu and prod debian LAMP (2 differents servers)

This must be somehow related with environment settings.

I first thought to php version but now everything is in PHP 5.6

Hi bendev,

Hi bendev,

Thx for your message.
Can you Found a solution for this problem ?

Yes the issue was with case

bendev commented 19 July 2016 at 07:39

Yes the issue was with case sensitive characters in the name of folders and subbloders...
One folder name used a lower case in the linux environment and this was upper case locally on OSX.
The folders were versioned with git but somehow this was not taken into account.

So try to check your folders paths for capital letters...

I did not understand you very

I did not understand you very well.
You talk about which folder/subfolder name ?

in my case this was a custom

bendev commented 19 July 2016 at 08:53

in my case this was a custom module with custom plugin (views filter) So I was referring to the folders and subfolders of my files.

If you don't have a custom module, then this is a different problem. May be try to flush your cache, move the order of the filters or to rebuild the view from your other environment

I am having a similar issue.

I am having a similar issue. From what I have found I can see that fields i have created on my local site can't be found in views after they have been imported. I am still trying to find the source of this issue.
It can be recreated by:
* adding a field to a content type.
* add it a a filter in a views.
* Export the content type and view
* Import it on another site
* Revisit the view on the new site.
* It now contains a broken/missing handler and when trying to re-add the field it can't be found in the list of available filters.

Exactly the same

Hi @jespermb I have exactly the same issue, except I created the new field (in the new site) loading config files programatically and using EntityDefinitionUpdateManager::applyUpdates().

Have you found a solution?

Same problem for me, except

Same problem for me, except it wasn't a filter I added, it was just adding the field to the view.

I solved this by deleting the field from the content type then importing config again. I did get an error message when importing the config, but the error was blank, and the view was fixed.

I had the same issue when I have removed a Views plugin from the system that was used on Views. The issue solved when I cleared the Views caches (admin/structure/views/settings/advanced).

Key_value record entity.definitions.bundle_field_map

Jeroen Dost commented 4 April 2018 at 12:11

I had the same problem and searched the key_value table for the record responsible for the issue. I finally found that the record with collection=entity.definitions.bundle_field_map and name=node (in my case it was a field for a node) did not have the same value. After inspecting the content with CAST(value as char) it was missing exactly missing that field.

So I copy-pasted it from the development server and it was no longer broken/missing.

I had the same problem and

I had the same problem and one the filed which has a lot of data on it.
the solution

dump field tables node__field_test, node__revision_field_test
delete the fields from UI
run config-import if not using configuration then create the fields
run the insert statement

Drush Command Solution

dustin.gates commented 24 October 2018 at 22:46

I ran into this issue as well, but I didn't want to manually edit the database or export/import content. I stumbled across this custom Drush command: https://gist.github.com/swichers/d0141a3ab14d93835d09943684480ee0

I set up a quick module for it, installed it on my site, ran drush rfm, confirmed a pile of fields that weren't available in my views were listed as needing to be added and hit y.

I saw the Used In values on /admin/reports/fields update to display info for the newly updated fields and am now able to add those fields in views. This also fixed the broken/missing error on views that were previously linked to these fields. No content loss.
