Cannot save Views admin settings due to skip_cache error

Did you run updates? That setting was removed in 📌 Get rid of using 'views.settings':skip_cache in ViewsData Fixed

If you mean database updates, admin/reports/status shows them as already up to date and going to /update.php tells me there are no pending updates. Is there some other step I need to take?

I had the same problem on a site created 3 months ago. I think it was on 10.2 and updated to 10.3.

No pending updates. I'm not sure if they ran before or something else happened.

I fixed it with drush cedit. Edit views.settings and remove the skip_cache line.

The most likely way this could happen is if:

1. A site was originally installed on a version that had this setting, with config exported to the config/sync directory.

2. Site is updated to a version with 📌 Get rid of using 'views.settings':skip_cache in ViewsData Fixed applied.

3. Database updates are run, but then after that, the config is not re-exported to the config/sync directory.

4. Later on, config is imported - this would re-introduce the 'skip_cache' key that was removed in the update.

#2628144: Ensure that ConfigImport is taking place against the same code base → would prevent step #4, but doesn't help sites that have already got into this state.

Fixes are made on on 11.x (our main development branch) first, and are then back ported as needed according to our policies.
