TypeError EntityViewsData::mapFieldDefinition() null given

Rolled patch against 9.5

The Needs Review Queue Bot → tested this issue. It no longer applies to Drupal core. Therefore, this issue status is now "Needs work".

This does not mean that the patch needs to be re-rolled or the MR rebased. Read the Issue Summary, the issue tags and the latest discussion here to determine what needs to be done.

Consult the Drupal Contributor Guide → to find step-by-step guides for working with issues.

Rerolled against 10.1.x

Was previously tagged for tests which still need ot happen.

I'm not sure if bad path mappings should be ignored or exceptions should be thrown.

Here are two patches for each possibility.

I didn't patch against the right repo. new patches attached.

Hi All,

I still struck with this issue. Could anybody can help with this. I added the patch but is not working please see below:

Thank you!

If/when 🐛 An infinite loop in ViewsJoin could cause denial of service Needs review lands we could probably throw a InvalidViewsDataException here.

I don't think we should do something like #13 because your site is in a broken state and something like that will leave it broken and just hide it (until the next thing breaks). So the exception direction in #27 sounds like the way to go for me, but would prefer the more specific Exception to be available

@ Lendude, Thank you so much for you look into it. But when I added patch on #27 not working. It is still the same issue. May I know how to fix and make it working.

Thank you SO So much! /|\

@smethawee the patch in #13 should let you get past the error (but the underlying break will still be in your site config), the patch in #27 will not fix anything but will hopefully make it clearer what part of your site is broken. And then you can fix that hopefully.

I haven't tried any of the patches so don't know if they actually help in their current state.

@ Lendude, Thank you so much for you added on. No luck for now. We will still need to implement it.
