Inheritance and missing _fields attribute

[prak (Prakhar)]

Hi, although making modules in tryton for a long time, I am sort of stuck with inheritance and I have already spend over 2 days trying to solve a strange error and I need help.

I created a Module for recording Orders and in it I created a module to record an Order. The entry in this order is created by a wizard. This is live and running as expected.

Now I am developing another module to record the payments, and I have inherited the Order model. After inheritance and installing another module, when I run the wizard to create the order, it is giving the error -

AttributeError: type object ‘aiims.order’ has no attribute ‘_fields’

If I comment out the inherited class in the payments module, then wizard runs fine. So I know that there is some issue with the inheritance.

class Order(metaclass=PoolMeta):

    __name__ = "aiims.order"

    payments = fields.One2Many(
        'order.pay_order', 'order', 'Payments'
    )
    payment_status = fields.Selection(
        [
            ('unpaid', 'Unpaid'),
            ('partially_paid', 'Partially Paid'),
            ('paid', 'Paid')
        ], 'Payment Status', readonly=True
    )

    @classmethod
    def __setup__(cls):
        super(Order, cls).__setup__()
        cls._buttons.update({
            'generate_payment': {
                'invisible': Eval('payment_status') == 'paid',
            }
        })

I have already done inheritance and overriding numerous times and I am not able to find any issue here. Still I am getting this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/.../trytond/protocols/dispatcher.py", line 176, in _dispatch
    result = rpc.result(meth(*c_args, **c_kwargs))
  File "/.../trytond/wizard/wizard.py", line 287, in execute
    return wizard._execute(state_name)
  File "/.../trytond/wizard/wizard.py", line 318, in _execute
    result = self._execute(transition())

  File "//.../trytond/model/modelsql.py", line 147, in wrapper

  File "/.../trytond/model/modelsql.py", line 564, in create
    for f in cls._fields.keys():
AttributeError: type object 'aiims.order' has no attribute '_fields'

More Info -

On checking the attributes list of the cls object in setup method, at the time of starting the server, it was found that _fields and _defaults are the 2 attributes that were found to be missing. (not sure if this info is relevant)

I have checked it on different systems, and the error is same, so I know that there is some issue with my code.

Tryton Server version - 5.0.35
Python version - 3.6.9

Thanks in advance for the help.

Can you check the dependencies in tryton.cfg of the module? It may be a problem with a missing dependency.

@timitos

Can you check the dependencies in tryton.cfg of the module?

Thank you @timitos

Dependency is good. tryton.cfg has the relevant module in place.

For me it looks like the model used to call .create is not correctly registered in the Pool. Maybe you are using the class from the module instead of the one from the pool.

@cedk Wow !! This is where I have faulted actually.

Original Code -

In parent model, at the time of calling .create in wizard -

new_order = Order.create([.....

where Order is the class in the same python file.

Modified and solved code -

new_order = Pool().get('aiims.order').create([...
