I'm not able to create a view with a working "REST export" display.

Steps

1. Create view with indexed source (Search API)
2. Add REST ("REST export") display to created view
3. Define path for "REST export", e.g. "/rest_bug.json"
4. Save view
5. Open path "/rest_bug.json"
6. Result: Error 500 with message "The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later."

Trace

AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: Error: Call to a member function id() on boolean in …/core/modules/rest/src/Plugin/views/row/DataEntityRow.php on line 86

I have found a workaround (or the solution?):

  1. Open view for editing
  2. Select "REST export" display
  3. Change "Anzeige" (DE locale, could be named "view" or "display" in english) from "Entity" to "Fields"
  4. Save view

I wonder if this is actually related to #2666226: REST views: DataEntityRow allows itself to be added to non-entity views.

This does look like an issue in the REST module, yes. It might be the same as #2666226: REST views: DataEntityRow allows itself to be added to non-entity views, or just in the same direction – i.e., assuming all views use the default query plugin and display entities (of a single type).

I see the problem, this row plugins should not be available for searchapi tables.

Hi! @dawehner when you upload a patch you have to put issue with status needs review. Doing this jenkins will queue your patch to test and validate it.

Actually, isn't this duplicating #2666226: REST views: DataEntityRow allows itself to be added to non-entity views?
