Describe the bug / error

If you open the default view, you see an error message.

If you navigate to the list settings, you see an error.

If you the the url to open the second view, you see "Error" on the Browser-Tab and errors in the console.

It may has to do with the new list layout?

The elements.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"> <Field ID="{4d6e9ca0-d0c3-4686-8c2c-ea0dcfb4bc63}" Name="Title_EN" DisplayName="Title_EN" Type="Text" Group="ABC" /> <ContentType ID="0x010085586ab8fc79479ba6eceb515b334002" Name="CustomTest" Group="ABC" Description="Create" Inherits="FALSE"> <FieldRefs> <FieldRef ID="{fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}" Name="Title" Required="FALSE"/> <FieldRef ID="{4d6e9ca0-d0c3-4686-8c2c-ea0dcfb4bc63}" Name="Title_EN" /> </FieldRefs> </ContentType> <ListInstance CustomSchema="TestSchema.xml" FeatureId="00bfea71-de22-43b2-a848-c05709900100" Title="Test" Description="Multiple views test." TemplateType="100" Url="Lists/Test"> </ListInstance> </Elements>

And the TestSchema.xml:

<List xmlns:ows="Microsoft SharePoint" Title="Test" EnableContentTypes="TRUE" FolderCreation="FALSE" Direction="$Resources:Direction;" Url="Lists/Test" BaseType="0" RootWebOnly="FALSE" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"> <MetaData> <ContentTypes> <ContentTypeRef ID="0x010085586ab8fc79479ba6eceb515b334002" /> </ContentTypes> <Fields></Fields> <Views> <View BaseViewID="1" Type="HTML" WebPartZoneID="Main" DisplayName="First" DefaultView="TRUE" MobileView="TRUE" MobileDefaultView="TRUE" SetupPath="pages\viewpage.aspx" ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/generic.png" Url="AllItems.aspx"> <XslLink Default="TRUE">main.xsl</XslLink> <JSLink>clienttemplates.js</JSLink> <RowLimit Paged="TRUE">30</RowLimit> <Toolbar Type="Standard" /> <ViewFields> <FieldRef Name="Title"></FieldRef> </ViewFields> <Query> <OrderBy> <FieldRef Name="ID" Ascending="FALSE" /> </OrderBy> </Query> </View> <View BaseViewID="2" Type="HTML" WebPartZoneID="Main" DisplayName="Second" DefaultView="FALSE" MobileView="TRUE" MobileDefaultView="FALSE" SetupPath="pages\viewpage.aspx" ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/generic.png" Url="Second.aspx"> <XslLink Default="TRUE">main.xsl</XslLink> <JSLink>clienttemplates.js</JSLink> <RowLimit Paged="TRUE">30</RowLimit> <Toolbar Type="Standard" /> <ViewFields> <FieldRef Name="Title"></FieldRef> <FieldRef Name="Title_EN"></FieldRef> </ViewFields> <Query> <OrderBy> <FieldRef Name="ID" Ascending="TRUE" /> </OrderBy> </Query> </View> </Views> <Forms> <Form Type="DisplayForm" Url="DispForm.aspx" SetupPath="pages\form.aspx" WebPartZoneID="Main" /> <Form Type="EditForm" Url="EditForm.aspx" SetupPath="pages\form.aspx" WebPartZoneID="Main" /> <Form Type="NewForm" Url="NewForm.aspx" SetupPath="pages\form.aspx" WebPartZoneID="Main" /> </Forms> </MetaData> </List>

From my package-solution.json:

"features": [ { "title": "views Feature", "description": "The feature that activates elements of the views solution.", "id": "5ebe2b32-9764-44e4-80d7-a77dab51ce38", "version": "1.0.0.0", "assets": { "elementManifests": [ "elements.xml" ], "elementFiles": [ "TestSchema.xml" ] } } ]

Please have a look into it. - Thanks.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new webpart project with react.
2. Add an elements.xml to deploy a custom field (text), a content type and a list.
3. Add a schema.xml for the list and include two views.
4. deploy the solution and add the app

Expected behavior

Both views should be valid

Can you please have a look into it? - Thanks!

[EA12]

Still nobody?

[EA12]

I know, everybody has a lot to do, but this is blocking us...
Please help... - Thanks!

[EA12]

After 5 weeks, still no answer :(

[EA12]

October now, still nobody had a look into it?
Nobody else is using feature deployment with multiple views?

[EA12]

End of November now, still nobody had a look into it?

[EA12]

December now and still nobody else is complaining about that. So it seems that everybody else is installing multiple views in a post deployment scenario or even manually? - Please MS, have a look into it. - Thanks!

Hello @EA12,
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We will look into it and get back to you shortly.

@EA12 ,
While creating a .sppkg (SharePoint Framework solution package) file, I received the following warning:
Warning - [package-solution] Admins can make this solution available to all sites immediately, but the solution also contains feature.xml elements for provisioning. Feature.xml elements are not automatically applied unless the solution is explicitly installed on a site.

Despite this warning, the .sppkg file was successfully generated and uploaded to the App Catalog. However, when attempting to add the web part to a SharePoint page, no error message is shown in the browser or developer tools.

Could you please let me know if I’m missing any steps in the testing process?

@Ashlesha-MSFT ,

thanks for diggin in to it.
The menntioned warning has nothing to do with the issue.
Please navigate to the list (which you deployed with the solution) and you will see the error.
Please read my Steps to reproduce.

Thx, Ronny
