Illegal string offset 'value' in Drupal\views\Plugin\views\filter\NumericFilter

Problem/Motivation

There is a warning message where views are loaded. I was not able to find the origin of this but I'm guessing this could be related to Quicktabs (alpha5).

Warning: Illegal string offset 'value' in Drupal\views\Plugin\views\filter\NumericFilter->valueForm() (line 256 of core/modules/views/src/Plugin/views/filter/NumericFilter.php).

Steps to reproduce

* Create a view of content items
* Enable aggregation
* For the default filter criteria "Content: Published = "Yes", under aggregation settings, change "Group results together" to any of the aggregation operators. Note this is not usually something you would want to do, but the UI does let you do it. You will get an an AJAX error, and the dialog box that pops up won't close, so you'll need to manually close the dialog box.
* Try saving the view
* At this point you'll be in an unrecoverable WSOD any time you try to edit the view, because the `adminSummary` for that status field will throw the error cited here. It's particularly annoying because there's no way to actually fix the error that I've found short of deleting the view and re-creating it. I had to patch my code locally just in order to get back to the View edit interface and change the aggregation settings back to a working value.

Proposed resolution

Created a patch with a solution that verified if the variable is set or not.

    I'm facing this problem as well; unfortunately, none of the above patches worked for me.
    Drupal: 9.5.9
    PHP: 8.1.17
    MySQL: 8.0.30

    TypeError: Cannot access offset of type string on string in Drupal\views\Plugin\views\filter\NumericFilter->adminSummary() 
(line 396 of /web/core/modules/views/src/Plugin/views/filter/NumericFilter.php)

    Any suggestion?

    @La558, your proposed line change is already included in the patch from #27, it is recommended to try testing the latest patch first, rather than going back to older revisions of the patch.

    @DiDebru, thanks for adding some test coverage! It seems to need some more work though, since the test-only version of the patch is supposed to have a failure indicating the bug.

    I was trying to make a view of a simple bundle that had a multivalue field and use aggregation to count (field) the number of items and filter on counts being > X. When i added count filter the view crashed. I get a WSOD with:

    TypeError: Cannot access offset of type string on string in Drupal\views\Plugin\views\filter\NumericFilter->adminSummary() (line 413 of E:\www\dev\web\core\modules\views\src\Plugin\views\filter\NumericFilter.php).

    when i try to add it and from the point on my view is corrupt. Adding this patch allows me to edit the view again.

    Sadly, i am still not able to filter on count.
