How to add attachment to ir.attachment through json_rpc

Support Developer
#1

Hi,

I am trying to add attachment/picture to ir.attachment to json_rpc.
At first, I am using Flutter/Dart as client side.
Firstly, using base64Encode to encode the bytes to string.

String value = base64Encode(byte);
vlist  = {
"data": "{'__class__': 'bytes', 'base64':" + value + "}"
}

using json_rpc, create method.

When passing to server, I get this error:
Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing

May I know what is wrong ? and what object should pass to attachment data?

Using flask_tryton I was able to add an attachment just reading the file with ‘rb’ and passing the binary data of the file.

Have you tried that ?

Hi german,

Thank you, are you able to show me some example from your code?

I did inside tryton module like this:
I’m sure from josn-rpc should be very similar

Attachment = Pool().get('ir.attachment')
with open('my_file', "rb") as f:
     data= f.read()
attach,  = Attachment.create([{'create_uid': 1, 'resource':str(invoice),'name': 'my_fname','data':data},])

Hope it helps

It is strange to name this vlist when it is just a dictionary.
I guess it will be good to show exactly the RPC call you are doing.

Hi @ced,

Below is my code, please help

   File f = File(el.imageFile.path);
    String value = base64Encode(f.readAsBytesSync());
    String kk = "{'__class__': 'bytes', 'base64':" + value+ "}";
    List<Map<String, dynamic>> vlist = List<Map<String, dynamic>>();  
       vlist.add({
        "resource": 'wms.receiving,6',
        "name": 'Ref_doc_.jpg' ,
        "data": value
      });

   Future<TrytonResponse> create(List vlist, {Map context}) async {
       var ctx = await getContext();
    var params = [vlist, ctx];
    String method = "model.ir.attachment.create";
    var body = json.encode({"id": new Uuid().v1(),
      "method": method,
      "params": params});
    final res = await callRequest(payload);      
    return res;
  }

    Future<TrytonResponse> callRequest(payload) async {
    var auth = '$_userName:$_uid:$_sessionId';
    var bytes = utf8.encode(auth);
    var base64 = base64Encode(bytes);
    String sessionAuth = 'Session  $base64';
    Dio client = Dio();
    client.options.headers["Content-type"] = "application/json; charset=UTF-8";
    client.options.headers["Cookie"] = _sessionId;
    client.options.headers["authorization"] = sessionAuth;
    final response = await client.post(_serverURL, data: body);
    TrytonResponse res = TrytonResponse(response);
    res.checkError();
    return res;
  }

Hi @german,

Thank you for your help.
I think there is difference between json_rpc and tryton-flask.

Seem like, the code provided is using the connector which able to direct send the raw file as attachment.

Thank you

This string representing a JSON will be encoded a second times.

You are using the base64 value instead of the JSON representation.
