How to add a Chatter in existing odoo module - odoo

Question

I am trying to add a chatter in fleet in Vehicles Services Logs
and it give me this error when I am trying to update the inherit module that responsible to add the chatter,
this is the model:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from odoo import models, fields, api
class Fleet_Chatter_service(models.Model):
_name = 'fleet.chatter.service'
_inherit = ['fleet.vehicle.log.services', 'mail.thread', 'ir.needaction_mixin']
_description = "fleet chatter in cost and service"
this is the view:
<odoo>
<record model="ir.ui.view" id="odt_fleet_service_chatter_form">
<field name="name">odt.fleet.chatter.service</field>
<field name="model">fleet.chatter.service</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="fleet.fleet_vehicle_log_services_view_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//form/sheet" position="after">
<div class="oe_chatter">
<field name="message_follower_ids" widget="mail_followers"/>
<field name="activity_ids" widget="mail_activity"/>
<field name="message_ids" widget="mail_thread" />
</div>
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
</odoo>
and this is the error:

Answer 1

Try to inherit "mail.activity.mixin" as well since it is the one that adds the "activity_ids" field which you use in your view.
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from odoo import models, fields, api
class Fleet_Chatter_service(models.Model):
_name = 'fleet.chatter.service'
_inherit = [
'fleet.vehicle.log.services', 'mail.thread',
'mail.activity.mixin', 'ir.needaction_mixin'
]
_description = "fleet chatter in cost and service"

Answer 2

Inherit "mail.thread" in your class:
class Fleet_Chatter_service(models.Model):
_name = 'fleet.chatter.service'
_inherit = ['mail.thread', 'another.module.needed']
Now you have to add the chatter inside your view:
In case of custom view, put it just after the :
<div class="oe_chatter">
<field name="message_ids" widget="mail_thread"/>
</div>
Same if you are working on an inherited view, use this Xpath :
<xpath expr="//form/sheet" position="after">
<div class="oe_chatter">
<field name="message_ids" widget="mail_thread"/>
</div>
</xpath>
