Error: Could not find the model or view requested.

Hi,
I am getting this error for looks I built long time back: Could not find the model or view requested.
What could be the possible reasons for this error?

I think the general culprit is obvious - it’s what the error says. Naturally, what you need to know is what Model or view it can’t find. I’d start with the content validator - documented here: https://docs.looker.com/data-modeling/getting-started/look-validation

Via the api it’s also possible to know details about a specific look (or other objects). I think the easiest way is via gazer - which I’ll admit to just figuring out in the past week or so and I think is quite cool. You can read about gazer here: https://discourse.looker.com/t/gazer-a-command-line-tool-for-looker-content-management/8066.

You could also get detailed information about a look here: https://cloudbrigade.looker.com:19999/api-docs/index.html#!/3.1/Look/look. It will give you same info gazer would give you.
