view [%s] not found

Error message

view [%s] not found

What it means

Thrown by setAttributeViewFieldsHidden when one of the viewIDs in the operation does not resolve to a view in the AttributeView (attrView.GetView(viewID) returns nil). Hidden-state changes are applied per view, so every referenced view must exist.

Solutions

1. Filter the viewIDs list against the AV's current views before sending the hide/show operation.
2. Refresh view metadata on the client when views are added/removed and invalidate cached viewIDs.
3. Drop unknown viewIDs silently on the client rather than failing the whole batch.

Example fix

// before
setAttributeViewFieldsHidden(attrView, keyID, [viewID1, deletedViewID], true)
// after
liveViewIDs := filterExisting(attrView.Views, operation.ViewIDs)
setAttributeViewFieldsHidden(attrView, keyID, liveViewIDs, true)

const liveViewIDs = new Set(attrView.views.map(v => v.id))
const safeIDs = operation.viewIDs.filter(id => liveViewIDs.has(id))
if (safeIDs.length === 0) { /* nothing to do; skip the op */ }

try { await performTx([hideOp]) } catch (e) {
  if (/view \[.*\] not found/.test(String(e.message ?? e))) { reloadViews(avID) } else { throw e }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Passing a viewID that was deleted, belongs to another AV, or is malformed; an undo replay referencing a view that a later operation removed; multi-select hidden toggle where one of the selected views no longer exists.

Common situations: Stale viewID cached on the client after the user deleted a view; concurrent view deletion during a bulk hide/show operation.
