I've got a perspective project and recently when I try to open a second view it will give me the following error:
java.lang.Exception: Unable to get the view config: View config is undefined.
I can close all my views and open any of the views that are giving this error so I don't believe it's an issue with any specific view. It seems that some views will open up together, while others won't and I have to close all my views again to open them up.
I've tried copying a screen JSON here but it looks like they are too long. Any ideas what's causing this?
Here is one of the issue's
java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.Exception: Unable to get the view config: View config is undefined.

Ignition v8.1.33 (b2023101913)
Java: Azul Systems, Inc. 17.0.8
If I constantly close and open the screens it will eventually open up with a conflicting screen.
This has been a recurring issue that we've been unable to replicate or successfully troubleshoot in-house. The typical cause is that the view.json file in the file system has been wiped clean, resulting in something which can't be parsed as json. We're aware of the issue, but of the 23 forum threads (as of me writing this), no one has been able to provide a set of steps which can be used to replicate the issue. Internally, we've dug deep into the lifecycle of the resource and have so far been unable to identify anything that could cause the issue. If you can provide insight into what you were doing or last did to the View i question we would greatly appreciate it.
Also please provide what version of Ignition you are using, along with your operating system and version.
