Meta description always blank in view

I tried to reproduce the problem with last 8.x-1.26 version. The meta description is well displayed.

Same error for me.
Drupal 11.1
Column is empty

The patch show correct value.

@trickfun, can you detail a little bit more how to reproduce this bug, like @fwust I tested on a views page and the meta description is correctly displayed.
Thanks

@tostinni, create a simple view of articles.
When i add metatag field i have only the "Empty formatter" in the formatter select.
The formatter code is:

/**
 * Plugin implementation of the 'metatag_empty_formatter' formatter.
 *
 * @FieldFormatter(
 *   id = "metatag_empty_formatter",
 *   module = "metatag",
 *   label = @Translation("Empty formatter"),
 *   field_types = {
 *     "metatag"
 *   }
 * )
 */
class MetatagEmptyFormatter extends FormatterBase {

  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  public function viewElements(FieldItemListInterface $items, $langcode) {
    // Does not actually output anything.
    return [];
  }

}

How can print meta values if the formatter returns empty array?

I am working on this issue

@aditi saraf try my patch
thank you

i try to reproduce this issue on drupal 11.0.0 . For this i installed metatag , meta tag: view module .And added meta tag field in view . And saved it. I just added some dummy value for meta tag ang in result i can see all the added meta tag. It is working for me . Attaching screenshot below.

@trickfun just seeing your comment but i already tried it and for me it is working. Thanks

@aditi saraf
The problem is not the metatag into html page but the value of metatag in view table.
Add metatag field to your view and show me the result table with metatag column.

The metatag column is empty.
Thank you

@trickfun i am trying to add metatag as a field in view, but i am not getting any option to add meta tag as a fied. Let me know if i need to install any module for this. I already have meat tag and metatag: view module configured. Attached a file here for same

@aditi saraf
- go to node article configuration page
- add metatag field to node
- go to your view
- setup you view as table of fields
- add new field to view. search for metatag field name.
- run the view
- the metatag column field is empty.

@trickfun thanks for helping me to reproduce this issue. I tried to apply your patch but still in view metatag field is empty. How everempty formatter is not coming.

You need to use MetatagFormatter not EmptyFormatter.

@trickfun after using meta tag i am getting following issue
Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\PluginException: Plugin (metatag_empty_formatter) instance class "Drupal\metatag\Plugin\Field\FieldFormatter\MetatagEmptyFormatter" does not exist. in Drupal\Component\Plugin\Factory\DefaultFactory::getPluginClass() (line 97 of C:\wamp64\www\dummydr\web\core\lib\Drupal\Component\Plugin\Factory\DefaultFactory.php).

Have you clean the cache?
Look inside metatag\Plugin\Field\FieldFormatter if MetatagEmptyFormatter exists.
Thank you
