cannot track view with features I'm using Features to create a feature called foo which tracks content types and views so they can be described in code, committed to my repository and eventually pushed into the staging and production servers.

Some modules (e.g http://drupal.org/project/nodequeue, http://drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations, http://drupal.org/project/admin_views) create some views as part of their functionality. The problem is that I can't include those views into my foo feature. So for those specific views I have to repeat (by hand) any customization I did locally to the staging and production servers.

Any ideas?

What I've tried:

1) I tried manually adding the view name in the foo_features.info file:

features[views_view][] = admin_content_node


but when I do drush fu foo_features -y that line is removed and the .info file and the view definition is not being included in the foo_features.views_default.inc file.

2) I had a look into the database:

mysql&gt; select vid, id, display_title, display_plugin, position from views_display;
+-----+----------+---------------+----------------+----------+
| vid | id       | display_title | display_plugin | position |
+-----+----------+---------------+----------------+----------+
|   3 | default  | Master        | default        |        1 |
|   3 | page     | Page          | page           |        2 |
|  30 | block    | Block         | block          |        2 |
...
|  46 | default  | Defaults      | default        |        1 |
|  46 | system_1 | System        | system         |        2 |
+-----+----------+---------------+----------------+----------+


That last row (vid: 46, display_plugin: system) seemed suspicious so I've changed (directly via SQL) system to page. I then did drush cc all and retried the process at [1] for including the view into the feature but without luck. I tried this because I thought that "system view displays" (whatever that means) cannot be included in features.
This is bypassable by cloning the views you need from the four views that the module provides, disabling the original views, and doing all your work in your clones which are 100% trackable.
