hook_views_pre_execute is not executing

I am trying to modify the query by using the hook_views_pre_execute but I think is not executing at all. Right now my code is the following:

function custom_views_pre_execute(&$view) {
    echo"hola";
}

And its never executing. In the same file I'm using the custom_views_alter_query and is executing perfectly.

Any ideas? Thank you!

I came across this when facing a similar issue - I was trying to ksm() inside the pre_execute hook, and it was only firing for one of my views on the page, but not the other (I had 2 Views blocks placed). I realized that an issue with the contextual filter was the issue... Views does a lot of try/catch internally, so you don't always get a fatal "WSOD", but check the watchdog for clues this might be happening - I was getting a "Warning" related to the contextual filter... removing it allowed me to at least see the ksm() output and move forward... hopefully this might help someone.

I think it is because of the caching issue, please clear your drupal cache and try again so that the hook will works fine.

"Adding output to the view can be accomplished by placing text on $view->attachment_before and $view->attachment_after." This is from Views API. This function will execute just before the db query. Try some debugging, if nothing works.
