Hello,

When you uninstall the module, and then try to install it again, Drupal return an error message :

"Can't install Rate, views.view.rate_regulsts, votingapi.vote_type.fivestar, votingapi.vote_type.updown already exists in active configuration".

Sounds critical as it prevent to install the module.

Received the same error. Here is a quick fix, which helped me.

You can use drush to delete the entries in the config table:
drush sql-query "DELETE FROM config WHERE name ='views.view.rate_results';"
drush sql-query "DELETE FROM config WHERE name ='votingapi.vote_type.fivestar';"
drush sql-query "DELETE FROM config WHERE name ='votingapi.vote_type.updown';"
drush sql-query "TRUNCATE TABLE cache_config;"

Or you can execute the same SQL-queries in phpmyadmin.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply, I cleaned the config directly with phpmyadmin and it worked.

I've added an enforced dependency on the configuration created by the module. this way when you uninstall the module the configuration will also be removed.

However this won't fix, if you have already installed and uninstalled the module. Since the configuration has already been created.
In such a case use #2 to manually delete the configuration and then patch the module and reinstall.

I've removed the enforced dependency added in #4 patch and instead added the configuration as optional
Patch #4 is more ideal since these dependencies are not optional
