Hey Drupallers! I've been out of the game for a while, and never worked with Drupal 8. Things have changed a lot.
I've got a basic site that's working fine locally in MAMP under PHP 5.6, but when I moved it to the webhost (also on 5.6), I'm getting this error in my logs when attempting to load user/login:
PHP Error: Uncaught PHP Exception Drupal\\Component\\Plugin\\Exception\\InvalidDeriverException: "Plugin (views_view) deriver "\\Drupal\\views\\Plugin\\Derivative\\ViewsLocalTask" does not exist." at /home/public/core/lib/Drupal/Component/Plugin/Discovery/DerivativeDiscoveryDecorator.php line 208, referer: http://mysite.com/admin/reports/updates
I'm not sure if the double-backslashes in there are the cause of not, but I suspect there's some PHP config option that differs between my local and the host. Since magic quotes are no longer a thing, is there something similar that I should be looking for? Or am I completely misjudging the root cause here?

Drupal 8 maintenance
With Drupal 8, your best bet is to install the command line composer utility and run the update script to freshen all the Drupal 8 code:
php composer.phar update --with-dependencies
Try that first.
