What may cause my custom VBO action to no longer update my Menu Badges counter?

Question

I created a on-site notification system with the help of this post. It was working perfectly, but now suddenly it stopped working. When I visit the page, the menu badge does not disappear.

Recently, I updated the core. Not sure if this is the problem. When I visit the page www.mysite.com/notification, the log shows following errors.

Following is my views, rule and rule component

Even though I don't know the exact answer yet, I think this is a great example of a high quality (well documented) question, chapeau (heads off!) Umair! — Pierre.Vriens, Commented Mar 21, 2017 at 12:42
@Pierre.Vriens Can you please edit the question heading? I think it needs some editing. Something like "Views update failing rules and vbo execution". Not sure — Umair, Commented Mar 25, 2017 at 10:44
How about "What may cause my custom VBO action to no longer update my Menu Badges counter?" — Pierre.Vriens, Commented Mar 25, 2017 at 10:53

"... it suddenly it stopped working" are about the toughest support calls to be resolved. I bet something did change somehow/somewhere (intentionally or not doesn't matter), so give it a try to narrow down the actual issue, as detailed below ...

Narrowing down the actual problem

From the error log you posted in your question, and based on what is shown in the exported view and rule, it is clear (at least to me) that the cause of your issue is related to the very first rules action, which is the only place where you have that unread_msgs_list (as shown in the error message also).

Furthermore, that /notification path is what I can see in your exported view, and which actually corresponds to the custom VBO action you implemented with the rule in your question also (which in turn invokes the subsequent Rules Component).

Recommended debugging

Something that might help you find the answer to your question, is to have a look at Rules debugging ... Within the Rules settings, experiment a bit with the debugging facilities that come with the rules module. At least have a look at the "Rules Evaluation Log" (to check that the Rules logic being executed, actually matches what you expect that logic to be).

Depending on what the result of that type of debugging is, you may also want to (temporary) enable the Devel module, so that you can (temporary) add a Rules Action like "Display a value" (though at this point I don't see any value worth displaying for debugging purposes, for that you first need to find anything suspicious in the Rules debugging log).

For way more details about these 2 variations, refer to Rules debugging, as explained in the answer to "How can I display the value of a variable inside a condition?".

PS 1: It might help if you add an update to your question, to include the complete message that starts with "Unable to get unread_msgs_list, it is not ..."

PS 2: You did a good job to implement what got suggested in the related post.

Well fortunately I had a backup. Views 3.15 is seem to cause problems. The backup had 3.14. Now it is working. The above view might not work. Here is the export of my view in case anyone wants to create a notification system.
