No view found

Error message

No view found

What it means

sdk.views.get resolves a viewId to its parent table, filters the table's views to V2 views, and finds the matching id. If none matches, a plain Error('No view found') is thrown — the view doesn't exist or isn't a V2 view on that table.

Solutions

1. Verify the viewId exists via sdk.tables.getTable(tableId) and inspect table.views.
2. Recreate the view if it was deleted and re-fetch its id.
3. If the view is a legacy V1 view, use the appropriate legacy API instead of the V2 sdk.views.get.
4. Fix the tableId encoded in the viewId (views are scoped to their table).

Example fix

// before
const view = await sdk.views.get("unknown_view_id")
// after
const table = await sdk.tables.getTable(tableId)
const viewId = Object.values(table.views ?? {}).find(v => v.name === "myView")?.id
if (!viewId) throw new Error("view not configured")
const view = await sdk.views.get(viewId)

const table = await sdk.tables.getTable(getTableIdFromViewId(viewId))
const exists = Object.values(table.views ?? {}).some(v => isV2(v) && v.id === viewId)
if (!exists) return null // skip get

function isV2View(v: unknown): v is ViewV2 {
  return typeof v === "object" && v !== null && "id" in v && "version" in v
}

let view
try {
  view = await sdk.views.get(viewId)
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof Error && e.message === "No view found") {
    view = null
  } else { throw e }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling sdk.views.get(viewId) with an id belonging to a deleted view, a V1 view (filtered out by isV2), a view in a different table, or a malformed id whose embedded tableId points to the wrong table.

Common situations: Stale view ids cached in client code after view deletion; fetching legacy V1 views via the V2 SDK; typos in view ids; app copied without the view.

Understand the failure class

Background: 'Could not be found', 'does not exist', 'not found in database': the resource-not-found family when an ID, slug, key, or URI lookup comes back empty — this error's family across 20 libraries.
