Re: XML errors when upgrading modules, because of fields in unrelated modules

Hi Daniel

I have a few question related to reproduce the case

1) Do The third view is inherited from original one?

1. id=original
2. id=inh_a inherit=original
3. id=inh_b inherit=original

2) Do The third view is inherited from 2nd one?

1. id=original
2. id=inh_a inherit=original
3. id=inh_b inherit=inh_a

3) Do the original field has "groups"?

4) Do the inherited views has "priority"?

5) Are there other views inheriting the same view?


Could you share the both modules with minimal code and the odoo-bin command to reproduce it, please?

  • XML errors when upgrading modules, because of fields in unrelated modules
    Hello,

    I've been finding this weird issue for a while, but decided to take some tome to write about it.

    I've seen frequently the case where:

    1. A custom module adds a field to a model and view. For example. to res.company.
    2. Later, another (unrelated) custom module also adds a new field to that same model (model and view).

    When installing or upgrading that second module, I see errors loading the XML with the form view.
    The error says that the field added by module 1 is missing in the view.
    But a) module 1 is installed an the field exists and b) the XML for the view in module 2 doesn't have any reference to that "missing" field!

    I found this frequently in Odoo 14.
    Honestly I'm not sure if it if also happens in other versions.

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    Thank you
