ParseError: “Invalid view definition”

Question

I am starting developing openerp modules. What could be wrong with the following code:

custmercas.py
# encoding: utf-8
from openerp.osv import osv,fields
class cas_customercas(osv.osv):
    _name = 'cas.customercas'
    _columns = {
        'cas_lastname':fields.char('اللقب', size=50, required=True, readonly=False),
        'cas_firstname':fields.char('الإسم', size=50, required=True, readonly=False),
        #TODO : import time required to get currect date
        'cas_datenaiss': fields.date('تاريخ الولادة'), 
        'cas_lieunaiss':fields.char('مكان الولادة', size=100, required=False, readonly=False),
        'cas_cin': fields.integer('رقم بطاقة التعريف الوطنية'),
        'cas_lieu_cin':fields.char('مكان اصدارها', size=64, required=False, readonly=False),
        'color': fields.integer('Color'),
        #TODO : import time required to get currect date
        'cas_datecin': fields.date('تاريخ اصدارها'),
        'cas_photo':fields.binary('صورة', filters=None),
        'cas_ref':fields.char('المعرف', size=6, required=True, readonly=False), 
        'cas_sexe':fields.char('الجنس', size=10, required=False, readonly=False),
        'cas_pere_id':fields.many2one('cas.customercas', 'الأب',  required=False), 
        'cas_mere_id':fields.many2one('cas.customercas', 'الأم', required=False),
        'cas_telcontacts_ids':fields.one2many('cas.telcontacts', 'cas_customercas_id','قائمة الهواتف', required=False),
        'cas_etatcivil_ids':fields.one2many('cas.customercas.etatcivile', 'cas_customercas_id', 'الحالة المدنية', required=False),
        'cas_adr_ids':fields.one2many('cas.customercas.address', 'cas_adr_customercas_id', 'عناوين الحالات', required=False),
        'cas_boulot_ids':fields.one2many('cas.customercas.boulotsinfo', 'cas_boulot_customercas_id', 'الشغل', required=False),
        'cas_visite_ids':fields.one2many('cas.customercas.visite', 'cas_visite_customercas_id', 'الزيارات', required=False),
        'cas_aide_ids':fields.one2many('cas.customercas.aide', 'cas_aide_customercas_id', 'المساعدات', required=False),
        'cas_logement_ids':fields.one2many('cas.customercas.logement', 'cas_logement_customercas_id', 'المسكن', required=False),


    }

Answer 1

Form the shared log at present i can just suggest you a general approach for debugging the problem associate with models and fields .

If you are getting the Error Like :

The field_abc does not exit or return self.models[model_name] KeyError: 'model.abc

Please go through step 1 and 2 for finding the model_abc:cas.customercas and step 3 for for finding field_abc:cas_boulot_ids :

1. Check your __init__.py and must ensure that models.py(in this case custmercas.py) should be there .
2. Now Open the menu of ir.model and search your model name.
3. Now open the record of model and find the field name or just open the view of ir.model.fields and search the field here.

IF you have go through of 3 mention steps and not seeing field in the view of ir.model.fields and model in the view of ir.model then just do two more step:

• Restart your odoo server
• Upgrade the module

Now again follow the step 1 to 2 for debugging return self.models[model_name] KeyError: 'model.abc and step 3 for debugging The field_abc does not exit.

You can go through this link for visual details (ODOO8) .

I hope this may help you in debugging the issue .
