I exported a view to another server and lost it, but it was right there, in my code, anyone could see it there - yet not in a list of views. What happened? – Well, after all, it appeared to have an easy explanation:
When I exported my view and put it into hook_views_default_views function, I forgot that I also needed to export some content type to which I had added a new field. When Drupal tried to import my view it was looking for the field that did not exist in a database. The result – no imported view whatsoever. No error messages, nothing! I need to mention that this happened in Drupal 5 – maybe a Drupal 6 would have given me a little warning? – I never tried to repeat my mistake there.
What else can go wrong with your view export?
