Does not export yml files

Hi Shailesh,

Apologies for late reply, Busy in other heavy stuff.

I am working on it, will update the minor code changes and soon will release the new version. After that please check. Thanks for reporting the issue.

Thanks!

It didn't work for me either.. what I had to do (on Ubuntu) is use a path like this: \var\www\{your directory}\sites\default\files\viewsexport ... notice the path separator is backward from normal. Also the path needs to be world writable.... have not tried to import the yml files yet tho'..... we will see about that.

I have the same issue here, exactly like jayvolk's.

Anyone has any luck with this?

Temporary fix. I uncommented the part in view_migration.admin.inc to accept a default file path, views_exports in files/.

/**
* Parse Drupal 7 view fields and generate a yml file
* containing configuration data.
*/
function CreateViewParser($viewData,$viewName,$viewsFilePath) {
	
	//Created New YML file in Folder;
	$folder = 'public://views_exports/';
	file_prepare_directory($folder, FILE_CREATE_DIRECTORY);
	if ($wrapper = file_stream_wrapper_get_instance_by_uri($folder)) {
	  $path = $wrapper->realpath();
	}
	
	$file = $viewsFilePath .'/views.view.'.$viewName.'.yml';
	$file = drupal_get_path('module', 'custom_view') . '/exports/views.view.'.$viewName.'.yml';

I have also added the default attribute to the form in the function views_migration_admin_settings in the view_migration.module page:

'#default_value' => 'public://views_exports/'

Now, in your files folder, you will get the yaml files in /views_exports

Tried #6 and whilst the "views_export" folder was created in my files folder, no yaml files ever appeared though.

Has anyone got this working?

I just tried this with and without the fix in #6 and it doesn't work.
Setting priority to Major because the module is broken and and does not work as advertised.

p.s. There a re lots of errors in the dblog such as

Warning: file_put_contents(public://views_exports__/views.view.redirects.yml): failed to open stream: "DrupalPublicStreamWrapper::stream_open" call failed in CreateViewParser() (line 594 of /sites/all/modules/contrib/view_migration/view_migration.admin.inc).

I managed to get this module working without having to do #6. I created a directory in sites/default/files and set that as my export path.

I couldn't find it in any of the documentation but basically, the destination has to exist prior to export (e.g. /var/www/my_site/sites/default/files/views_export)

To go expand on elimw's comment (#9)...

1. #6 fix is not needed
2. Create a views_exports folder in your site's files folder
3. Use the relative path of sites/default/files/views_exports
   • Note: there is not a leading forward slash
   • Note: the default folder may be named something else in your environment

Steps in #10 worked for me, thanks!

#10 also worked for me.
