Problem/Motivation
dblog_update_8600() only runs properly on sites where English is the default language.
Where English is not the default language, it doesn't update the view properly. You can get either of these on the admin/reports/dblog.
Illegal string offset 'value' in Drupal\views\Plugin\views\area\Text
Placeholders must have a trailing [] if they are to be expanded with an array of values. in Drupal\Core\Database\Connection->expandArguments()
Steps to reproduce
- Install Drupal 8.5.5 in a non-English language
- Update to 8.6.0
Or modify config (perhaps when trying to fix this)
The only way for things to be broken is if the content key were changed and the id/plugin_id didn't, or vice versa.
In either the old or new set of config, nothing would be broken.
From #122
empty:
area:
id: area
table: views
field: area
relationship: none
group_type: group
admin_label: ''
empty: true
tokenize: false
content: 'Nessun messaggio di log disponibile.'
plugin_id: text
Proposed resolution
This can be repaired from the UI. It may be easier to do if one has the configuration export of views.view.watchdog.yml from before the upgrade. The following uses the default view from a standard install of 8.5.5 in Italian.
1. Export view.view.watchdog.yml.
2. Find the empty section for the No results behavior. In the default config, in 8.5.5 it starts at line 656.
empty:
area:
id: area
table: views
field: area
relationship: none
group_type: group
admin_label: ''
empty: true
tokenize: false
content:
value: 'Nessun messaggio di log disponibile.'
format: basic_html
plugin_id: text
4. Delete the entire section, include the 'empty:'.
5. Import the config
6. Now add back the empty section, with some modifications. These are 'id', 'field', 'admin_label', 'content' and 'plugin_id'. If you have not customized this part of the view then use the following. If it was customized, then changing these fields should enable you to use the UI to make further changes.
empty:
area:
id: area_text_custom
table: views
field: area_text_custom
relationship: none
group_type: group
admin_label: 'Nessun messaggio di log disponibile.'
empty: true
tokenize: false
content: 'Nessun messaggio di log disponibile.'
plugin_id: text_custom
7. Import the config.
8. Do not remove and re-add this plugin. If you do there will be errors in the log. You can follow these steps again.
