Call to a member function getType()/getPluginID() on null

Problem/Motivation

drush updb or drush deploy errors out with 

[error]  Call to a member function getType() on null                                 
[error]  Update failed: group2to3_update_9001                                        
[error]  Update aborted by: group2to3_update_9001

The backtrace includes Drupal\group\Entity\Storage\GroupRelationshipStorage->getEntityClass('group_content_t...') ,
Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityFieldManager->buildBundleFieldDefinitions('group_content', 'group_content_t...', Array), and references to Views initiating these calls

Steps to reproduce

  1. composer require drupal/group2to3
  2. drush en group2to3
  3. composer require drupal/group:^3.0. The README should say "replace" at step 4 (as a command for the user), not "replaces" (implying that the module will do this)
  4. drush updb or drush deploy

Proposed resolution

There still seem to be many references to "group_content" in my config files, including within Views-related ones. Perhaps these need to be addressed as well? I take it from the backtrace that Views is asking the GroupRelationshipStorage class to retrieve the v2 plugin.

    I saw this error 1 week ago and made this commit https://git.drupalcode.org/project/group2to3/-/commit/20b26a04093d1cef94...

    Do you have the latest version of this module?

    I guess not. Composer reported it pulled down dev-3.x d0dd2af

    Started over with

    1. composer require"drupal/group2to3:3.0.x" Composer reports Installing drupal/group2to3 (dev-3.0.x bc7f887), which includes the change in the commit you recommended
    2. drush en group2to3
    3. composer require drupal/group:^3.0
    4. drush deploy

    After completing Step 4 of 8 (Updates the target type of Entity Reference fields): Process finished., I get a new, but similar error: Call to a member function getPluginId() on null , and the backtrace still indicating Views as a source:

    • Error: Call to a member function getPluginId() on null in Drupal\group\Entity\Storage\GroupRelationshipStorage->getEntityClass() (line 93 of .../group/src/Entity/Storage/GroupRelationshipStorage.php)
