odoo.exceptions.ValidationError: Error while validating view: - odoo

List item
When I try to upgrade the module following error occurred and I attach the picture of the error.
2.How Can I resolve this error
**Code:**
Action 226 (id: 226) does not exist for button of type action.
View name: project.project.new.form
Error context:
view: ir.ui.view(1455,)
xmlid: project_form_inherited_new
view.model: project.project
view.parent: ir.ui.view(627,)
file: /opt/workspace/v10tov14convert/addons/timesheet_invoice_create/views/project_inherit.xml
<record id="project_form_inherited_new" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">project.project.new.form</field>
<field name="model">project.project</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="project.edit_project"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//notebook/page[2]/group[1]/group[2]/field[#name='analytic_account_id']" position="after">
<field name="employee_id" groups="timesheet_invoice_create.group_timesheet_employee"/>
<field name="timesheet_cost" groups="timesheet_invoice_create.group_timesheet_employee"/>
</xpath>
</field>
</record>

I had a similar error with different action code which appeared only if you try to inherit from the view, otherwise, form works fine. The root cause is the button <button name="226" string=" ... in your XML. Either delete it or fix the action and error will go away.

Please post the complete error log- the error image you have given is not showing proper reference.
Looks like you used some action_id on your action button which is missing from view or you forgot to identify the module name in before action_id
For Example
<button type='action' name='module_name.action_id' string="Example' class="btn btn-primary"/>

From the View resolution documentation:
The parent is fully resolved, then the current view’s inheritance specs are applied.
The error happens when it tries to resolve the parent arch
One of the views inheriting from project.edit_project (or this view itself) has a button of type action that fail to validated. As the error message specify, the action with ID 226 does not exist in database.
We can reproduce the error by deleting the portal.portal_share_action which is used in project.edit_project view, then updating a module which inherit the base view.

How to reference a planning type in a plan

I have a custom odoo module, which extends some existing modules like hr. I want to create an onboarding plan with several predefined tasks in it.
This is my plan acitivity type xml which works at it should. If I update the applikation with this file, I get the desired tasks in the planning types overview.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<odoo>
<record id="hr_plan_activity_type_create_work_contract" model="hr.plan.activity.type">
<field name="activity_type_id" ref="mail.mail_activity_data_todo"/>
<field name="responsible">manager</field>
<field name="summary">Create work contract</field>
<field name="note">Create the work contract for the employee.</field>
</record>
<record id="hr_plan_activity_type_employee_model_in_erp" model="hr.plan.activity.type">
<field name="activity_type_id" ref="mail.mail_activity_data_todo"/>
<field name="responsible">manager</field>
<field name="summary">Employee model in ERP</field>
<field name="note">Complete the employee model in ERP (AHV, Banking, etc.)</field>
</record>
</odoo>
This is my plan.xml which should create a plan with the activity types. The creation of the plan works, but if I reference the activity types, I'll get an error message.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<odoo>
<!-- Onboarding -->
<record id="hr_plan_onboarding" model="hr.plan">
<field name="name">Onboarding</field>
<field name="plan_activity_type_ids"
eval="[(6,0,[ref('mycompany.hr_plan_activity_type_employee_model_in_erp')])]"/>
<field name="plan_activity_type_ids"
eval="[(4,0,[ref('mycompany.hr_plan_activity_type_create_work_contract')])]"/>
</record>
</odoo>
In the manifest.py file I first load the plan.activity.type.xml and then the plan.xml so this shouldn't be a problem.
This is the error message I get when I try to upgrade my customized module mycompany:
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0e\server\odoo\addons\base\models\ir_model.py", line 1670, in xmlid_lookup
raise ValueError('External ID not found in the system: %s' % xmlid)

<field name="name">Onboarding</field>
<field name="plan_activity_type_ids" ref="hr.plan.activity.type.hr_plan_activity_type_create_work_contract"/>
</record>
Does anyone have any ideas?
String identifier stored in ir.model.data, can be used to refer to a record regardless of its database identifier during data imports or export/import roundtrips.
External identifiers are in the form module.id (e.g. account.invoice_graph). From within a module, the module. prefix can be left out.
Sometimes referred to as xml id or xml_id as XML-based Data Files make extensive use of them.
In your example you used model_name.id which probably does not exist in the database, to reference hr_plan_activity_type_create_work_contract record you just need to replace the model name with the module name.
I can see from the log message that the module name is mycompany, try to replace the model name with mycompany:
<record id="hr_plan_onboarding" model="hr.plan">
<field name="name">Onboarding</field>
<field name="plan_activity_type_ids" ref="mycompany.hr_plan_activity_type_create_work_contract"/>
</record>
Update:plan_activity_type_ids is an x2many field
Use the special commands format to set the x2many field values:
<record id="hr_plan_onboarding" model="hr.plan">
<field name="name">Onboarding</field>
<field name="plan_activity_type_ids" eval="[(6,0,[ref('mycompany.hr_plan_activity_type_create_work_contract')])]"/>
</record>
Edit: Only the first one shows up in the GUI
To replaces all existing records in the set by the ids list (using '(6, 0, ids)') you can provide a list of ids inside the triplet. You can find an example in res_partner_demo.xml inside the base module.
Example:
<field name="plan_activity_type_ids" eval="[(6,0,[ref('mycompany.hr_plan_activity_type_employee_model_in_erp'), ref('mycompany.hr_plan_activity_type_create_work_contract')])]"/>
To add an existing record of id id to the set (using (4, id)) you need to provide one id for each triplet. You can find an example in base_groups.xml inside the base module.
Example:
<field name="plan_activity_type_ids" eval="[(4,ref('mycompany.hr_plan_activity_type_employee_model_in_erp')), (4,ref('mycompany.hr_plan_activity_type_create_work_contract'))]"/>
Your ref ids are wrong. hr.plan.activity.type.hr_plan_activity_type_create_work_contract is wrong. You get only one . in a reference. its [<module_name>.]ext_id_of_object.
If you reference the object from the same module you don't have to use module name.part
If you can see the database tables. then things you are referencing are in table ir_model_data
So if the thing you are referencing is in your own model then you cant use just hr_plan_activity_type_create_work_contract as a reference or your_model_name.hr_plan_activity_type_create_work_contract

How to display my module in one of multiple website Odoo?

I have two websites in Odoo.
Site 1: www.A.com
Site 2: www.B.fr
I created a module but I would like it to be visible only in website 2. But when I install it, it appears in both sites. I must then change the views manually in Odoo so that my view is visible on site 2.
I tried to put "website_id: 'B' in manifest.py but it doesn't work.
Where should I report please? I searched but I can't find a solution ...
Thank you.
You can edit your view or template and test for the website id to add your content, for example:
<template id = "test" name="test" inherit_id="test.test_view" priority="16">
<t t-if="website.id == 1">
<!-- add or edit the content that you want-->
</t>
</template>
You can specify the value of website_id field when you define the view or set its value by inheriting an existing view.
You will need the external id of website2(website.website2) and the external id of an existing view in case you need to use inheritance.
Specify the value in the view definition:
<record id="MODEL_view_TYPE" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">NAME</field>
<field name="model">MODEL</field>
<field name="website_id" ref="Website_External_Id"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
 
Inherit an existing view and specify the website_id field value:
<record id="VIEW_External_ID" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="website_id" ref="Website_External_Id"/>
</record>

Is it normal fields are not updated after installing modules?

I'm developping a module on OpenERP 7.
It is a very simple code : it has only 1 new field (or column) in python file, and an xpath in the xml. I know it works because one time it was succesfully installed
When I try to install/update my module with the module interface, sometimes the field is added/updated to OpenERP, but sometimes no.
I tried to start/stop and restart Openerp before and after installing my module, but I don't know if it has consequences. I don't have errors or useful thing in the logs.
So fields don't add/update but xml update everytime... Does anyone have an idea of what's going on and a solution ?
python code:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from openerp.osv import fields, osv
class StockPickingIn(osv.osv):
_name = "stock.picking.in"
_inherit = "stock.picking.in"
_columns = {
'adquat_ack_recep': fields.boolean('Accusé de réception'),
}
xml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<openerp>
<data>
<record id="view_picking_in_form_adquat" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">stock.picking.in.form.adquat</field>
<field name="model">stock.picking.in</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="stock.view_picking_in_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//field[#name='stock_journal_id']" position="after">
<field name="adquat_ack_recep" />
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
<record id="view_picking_in_tree_adquat" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">stock.picking.in.tree.adquat</field>
<field name="model">stock.picking.in</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="stock.view_picking_in_tree"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//field[#name='state']" position="after">
<field name="adquat_ack_recep" />
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
</data>
</openerp>
I think it works to update fields with Command line -u !
But my other problem is not solved : I dont have empty checkboxes in form view
And in form view i can't have this checkbox checked :
I click on edit, i check it and save : the checkbox come back to empty !
I saw in the database the value is saved as true or false, but it's not displayed on the interface
You should see the following error
ValidateError
Error occurred while validating the field(s) arch: Invalid XML for View Architecture!
Because adquat_ack_recep is defined in stock.picking and you add it to stock.picking.in form.
You need to inherit from stock.picking.in.
_inherit = "stock.picking.in"
Edit:
Add adquat_ack_recep field to both models stock.picking and stock.picking.in (stock.picking.in read method was overitten to read values from stock.picking model). Take a look at fields not saving problem
Problem may arises due two instances running at same time. make sure you run single instance. you can also update module through command line this may solve your issue

Odoo 8 Module - adding a new field to the model

I am getting an error adding a new field to an Odoo 8 module. When I comment it out of the view, it works. When it is in, I get the following error:
ParseError: "ValidateError
Field(s) arch failed against a constraint: Invalid view definition
Error details:
Field filedata does not exist
Error context:
View course.form
This is my models.py file:
from openerp import models, fields, api
class Course(models.Model):
_name = 'openacademy.course'
name = fields.Char(string="Title", required=True)
description = fields.Text()
filedata = fields.Binary('File')
And this is an extract from my view file views/openacademy.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<openerp>
<data>
<record model="ir.ui.view" id="course_form_view">
<field name="name">course.form</field>
<field name="model">openacademy.course</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<form string="Course Form">
<sheet>
<group>
<field name="name"/>
<field name="description"/>
<field name="filedata" />
</group>
</sheet>
</form>
</field>
</record>
....
Any thoughts?
You should try restarting Odoo server as the field probably hasn't been persisted yet due to the binary field misspelling. Try checking the PostgreSQL database directly using PgAdmin or Sql Workbench to check the field is correctly in place.
Regarding your view, everything seems right.
You should update your module through Odoo interface or with the '-u' option of the odoo.py command.
Regards,
Hello dear add like Binary add in camelcase
filedata = fields.Binary('File')
binary field should be capitalized.
First of all define the field properly as said here:
filedata = fields.Binary('File')
And then Uninstall and reinstall your module.
If the problem still occurs,
Create a new database and try again.

What is the use of ir.ui.menu in OpenERP 7.0?

I am new to OpenERP and I wish to know about that what is model="ir.ui.menu" in OpenERP. Like this there are many other models also there.
For eg:
model="ir.ui.view"
model="ir.actions.act_window"
Can any one explain all this?
With the ir.ui.menu model you can create new menu items. You can use the menuitem tag, it is shortcut:
<record id="menu_human_readable_name" model="ir.ui.menu" >
<field name="name">Human readable name</field>
<field name="sequence" eval="10" />
<field name="action" ref="action_name" />
<field name="parent_id" ref="base.menu_custom" />
</record>
And you have a small explanation of the ir.actions.act_window model in the Odoo documentation. You can assign the id of this kind of action in the field action of the ir.ui.menu model
The most common action type, used to present visualisations of a model
through views: a window action defines a set of view types (and
possibly specific views) for a model (and possibly specific record of
the model).
<record id="action_human_readable_name_act_window" model="ir.actions.act_window">
<field name="type">ir.actions.act_window</field>
<field name="name">Human readable name</field>
<field name="res_model">model.name</field>
<field name="view_mode">tree,form</field>
<field name="view_type">form</field>
<field name="target">current</field>
<field name="domain">[]</field>
<field name="context">{}</field>
<field name="search_view_id" ref="ir.ui.view" />
</record>
The ir.ui.view is used for the views where you show the field or tree list
You have more information in the Odoo Documentation:
Views define the way the records of a model are displayed. Each type
of view represents a mode of visualization (a list of records, a graph
of their aggregation, …). Views can either be requested generically
via their type (e.g. a list of partners) or specifically via their id.
For generic requests, the view with the correct type and the lowest
priority will be used (so the lowest-priority view of each type is the
default view for that type).
<record model="ir.ui.view" id="view_id">
<field name="name">view.name</field>
<field name="model">object_name</field>
<field name="priority" eval="16"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<!-- view content: <form>, <tree>, <graph>, ... -->
[...]
<field name="field_name" />
[...]
</field>
</record>
Menus and Actions
Menus are records in the ir.ui.menu table. In order to create a new menu entry, you can directly create a record using the record tag.
<record id="menu_external_id" model="ir.ui.menu">
<field name="name">New Menu</field>
<field name="action" ref="action_external_id"/>
<field name="sequence" eval="<integer value>" />
<field name="parent_id" ref="parent_menu_external_id"/>
</record>
There is a shortcut by using the menuitem tag that you should use preferentially. It offers a flexible way to easily define the menu entry along with icons and other fields.
<menuitem id="menu_external_id"
name="New Menu"
action="action_external_id"
icon="ICON_NAME"
groups="groupname"
sequence="<integer value>"
parent="parent_menu_external_id"
/>
If you remove parent/parent_id from menu/menuitem then it becames top level menu.
Actions
action specifies the identifier of the attached action defined in the action table (ir.actions.act_window). This field is not mandatory : you can define menu elements without associating actions to them.
This is useful when defining custom icons for menu elements that will act as folders. This is how custom icons for “Projects” or “Human Resources” in OpenERP are defined).
The actions define the behavior of the system in response to the actions of the users ; login of a new user, double-click on an invoice, click on the action button, ...
There are different types of simple actions:
Window: Opening of a new window
Report: The printing of a report
- Custom Report: The personalized reports
- RML Report: The XSL:RML reports
Execute: The execution of a method on the server side
Group: Gather some actions in one group
The actions are used for the following events:
User connection.
The user clicks on a menu.
The user clicks on the icon ‘print’ or ‘action’.
<record id="action_external_id" model="ir.actions.act_window">
<field name="name">action.name</field>
<field name="view_id" ref="view_external_id" />
<field name="domain">[('field','operator','value')]</field>
<field name="context">{'key':value}</field>
<field name="res_model">Model Name</field>
<field name="view_type">form|tree</field>
<field name="view_mode">form,tree|tree,form|form|tree</field>
<field name="target">new/current</field>
</record>
I hope you will easily understand my explanation below:
"ir.ui.menu" is a model which is mapped as ir_ui_menu table of database that stores data of menus in Odoo (OpenERP). Every menu in Odoo (OpenERP) is inserted via xml file and stored in database. Also, "ir.ui.view" stores view data (such as form, tree, and search views) and "ir.actions.act_window" stores action data.
Conclusion: Mostly (not all), models inside OpenERP are manifestation of tables inside database.
