Smoke test

Hi! Thanks for the interest in the xnttviews module. I just started this module this month and it is currently in "alpha" stage, meaning that it is not fully functional.

However, on my dev site, I'm able to display external entities with views. So, there's probably some bug around there that make it fails for you. :-S Do you have log messages to provide? Could you explain which storage client are you using and what fields are you using (I mean Drupal field types).

On the other hand, I can't provide any delay for solving this issue and I would bet you should have more luck investigating the solr issue...
but I could give it a try if you can provide me some feedback on what seems to happen with xnttviews. :-S

I did a new test with xnttviews alpha1.

You can try on your side with this public external entity example based on wikipedia:
https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/modules/external-entities/example-1-wikipedia →

Once you got that external entity on your site, you can create a view on it using xnttviews and the corresponding content.
Don't do anything with solr indexing: it's not related to xnttviews.

Here is a screenshot of the wiki view preview on my site:

Note: filtering and sorting will not be working if they are not supported by the storage source. I don't think these are supported by REST storage source. However, they are with xnttdb for instance (tested and working).

I'll have a look at this again soon, thanks for the tips.
