view [%s] not found in attribute view [%s]

Error message

view [%s] not found in attribute view [%s]

What it means

Returned by SetDatabaseBlockVisibleViews (attribute_view.go:1252) when one of the viewIDs passed to setAttrViewBlockVisibleViews does not resolve via attrView.GetView — i.e. the ID is not present in the attribute view's Views collection. The check runs before normalization, so a single bad ID aborts the whole call.

Solutions

1. Refresh the view list from av.GetAttributeView before submitting and drop any ID no longer present.
2. Send only view IDs returned by a recent render of the same attribute view (operation.AvID must match).
3. If mirroring, confirm each view ID belongs to operation.AvID, not a sibling database.

Example fix

// before: submitting a possibly stale id
transaction({ op: "setAttrViewBlockVisibleViews", avID, viewIDs: ["20240101000000-old"] })

// after: filter against the live view list
const live = await fetchAttrView(avID)
const viewIDs = selected.filter(id => live.views.some(v => v.id === id))
if (viewIDs.length) transaction({ op: "setAttrViewBlockVisibleViews", avID, viewIDs })

// Filter submitted viewIDs against the live attribute view before sending.
const live = await fetchAttrView(avID)
const valid = viewIDs.filter(id => live.views.some(v => v.id === id))
if (valid.length !== viewIDs.length) throw new Error('one or more view IDs not found')

function viewExists(av: AttributeView, id: string): boolean {
  return av.views.some(v => v.id === id)
}

When it happens

Trigger: Frontend sends a view ID that was deleted, belongs to a different attribute view, or is a stale/corrupted value carried over from an older avID. Duplicates are tolerated (they just set the map key twice), but any unknown ID fails.

Common situations: View was deleted in another mirror of the same database but the local UI list still shows it; plugin hard-codes a view ID; avID/viewID mismatch after a database was duplicated and IDs were not remapped.
