No view found

Error message

No view found

What it means

sdk.workspace.views.get for external datasources loads the datasource, finds the table, and searches its V2 views for one matching viewId. If no view with that ID exists on that table it throws a plain Error("No view found"). This happens when the view ID is wrong, the view was deleted, or the view belongs to a different table/datasource.

Solutions

1. Verify the viewId matches an existing V2 view: list the table's views and confirm the id
2. Re-fetch the datasource/tables (sdk.datasources.get) so the view definitions are current before lookup
3. Recreate the deleted view or update the caller to use the new view id
4. Handle the undefined case with getEnriched instead of get if absence is expected

Example fix

// before
const view = await sdk.views.get(viewId)
// after
try {
  const view = await sdk.views.get(viewId)
} catch (e) {
  // view may have been deleted; fall back to listing current views
  const views = Object.values(table.views ?? {}).filter(isV2)
}

const ds = await sdk.datasources.get(datasourceId)
const views = Object.values(ds.entities![tableName]?.views ?? {}).filter(isV2)
if (!views.some(v => v.id === viewId)) {
  // view missing - handle before calling get(viewId)
}

try {
  const view = await sdk.views.get(viewId)
} catch (e) {
  if (String(e.message) === "No view found") {
    // refresh view list / fall back to table-level data
  }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling get(viewId) (or anything in its caller chain: components, user, data, integrationList, cachedParams, cachedGoto) with a viewId whose V2 view is not present in ds.entities[tableName].views - e.g. after the view was deleted or the datasource was refreshed and entities were re-fetched.

Common situations: Stale client-side references to a deleted view; a typo'd or malformed viewId that parses to the wrong table; saving the datasource changed view IDs; app referencing a view from before a datasource re-sync.
