Need help to set up a wizard in OpenERP 7.0

Question

I'm trying to implement a wizard that will update a form a then (if possible, send a signal to workflow to change status of an object, but that will be for later). I'm trying and trying, but I'm doing something wrong since I get stuck with this annoying error!

ValueError: No such external ID currently defined in the system: processos_uc.reformulate_generic_request_wizard

I've got these two files inside the "wizard" folder: reformulate_wizard.py:

from openerp.osv import osv
from openerp.osv import fields
from openerp.tools.translate import _

class ref_generic_request(osv.osv_memory):
    _name='ref.generic.request'

    _columns = {
        'reformulation_info': fields.text('Reformulation instructions', help='Instructions for the requestor justification the reformulation needs'),
            }

        def save_info(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):
            if 'active_id' in context:
                info=self.browse(cr,uid,ids)[0].reformulation_info
                self.pool.get('generic.request').write(cr,uid,context['active_id'],
                                                     {'reformulation_info' : reformulation_info})
            return {
                    'type': 'ir.actions.act_window_close',
             }
    ref_generic_request()

reformulate_wizard.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
    <data>
        <record id="view_reformulate_generic_request_wizard" model="ir.ui.view">

            <field name="model">ref.generic.request</field>

                        <button  icon="gtk-ok" name="save_info" string="Send to reformulation" type="object" />
                    </group>
               </form>
            </field>
        </record>
        <record id="action_reformulate_generic_request" model="ir.actions.act_window">
            <field name="name">Reformulate Request</field>
            <field name="type">ir.actions.act_window</field>
            <field name="res_model">ref.generic.request</field>
            <field name="view_type">form</field>
            <field name="view_mode">form</field>
            <field name="view_id" ref="view_reformulate_generic_request_wizard"/>
            <field name="target">new</field>
        </record>

        <act_window id="action_reformulate_generic_request"
                name="Reformulate Request"
                res_model="generic.request"
                view_mode="form"
                target="new"
        />

    </data>
</openerp>

And I didn't forget the __init__.py with the "import reformulate_wizard" in it.

I am calling the wizard from my xml view like this (and I guess that's where I'm getting the error):

<button  name="%(reformulate_generic_request_wizard)d" string="Button that calls wizard" type="object" />

In my base folder I'm importing the wizard folder inside the __init__.py:

import parecer
import pedido_generico
import tracing
import wizard

And here is the content of my __openerp__.py (The error might be from the order I'm loading things):

}

Here is the error message from the server logs.

Any help is more than welcome!

Answer 1

The error message is telling you where the trouble is: you're using an id reformulate_generic_request_wizard that isn't declared anywhere.

Your button should point at the action's id, action_reformulate_generic_request_wizard.

So, try this:

<button  name="%(action_reformulate_generic_request_wizard)d" string="Button that calls wizard" type="object" />
