Prevent timeouts in views preview by adding a limit

Created on 29 October 2024, about 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

If you have a view that has a substantial sized query or result, the views preview will timeout breaking the views interface when building views. If you set a limit, the export won't contain all the results. If you set a batch, it prevents the timeout on the front-end of the export but not in the views builder interface.

Steps to reproduce

Create a views data export with a lot of joins or so many records that it would cause a timeout when executing the view.

Proposed resolution

In preview mode, if a limit is not set, user the batch number as a limit to prevent the timeout.

Remaining tasks

Review proposed resolution and merge.

I didn't even realize, but the pager configuration is still available on views data export displays. It moves it to the far right column. Since it wasn't in the middle, I didn't pay attention :) This is unnecessary when you use a pager config.
