Problem/Motivation

After updating to php 8.1 on drupal 9.3.22, an warning is thrown when clearing the cachce
[warning] Trying to access array offset on value of type bool PluginBase.php:185

This problem is caused by Views Plugins that do not correctly define the options array as specified in the documentation for the defineOptions() function in the Drupal\views\Plugin\views\PluginBase class.

Steps to reproduce

Create a views plugin that does not implement the correct options array structure.
Try to use that plugin.
Observe PHP warnings.

Software versions

PHP 8.1
Drupal 9.3.22
Drupal 9.4.7
Drupal 9.5.9

Proposed resolution

As a result of this being caused by contrib or custom Views plugins, updates to the output of the offending Views plugin's defineOptions() functions should be made so that they follow the prescribed array structure instead of updating Drupal core.

Recommend changing issue status to Closed (won't fix).

Recreated #2 as a patch because I'm not sure about installing from a core fork

9.3 is no longer a supported version. Current development branch is 11.x

Think it should be investigated why it is sometimes a boolean, don't want to put a patch over a larger problem.

The step "Create a views plugin that does not implement the correct options array structure." makes me think it was a user error.

As a bug will need test case showing the issue.
