# Template Error - FINAL SOLUTION
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ **PERMANENTLY FIXED** via commit 5721687
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem Statement
|
||||
|
||||
The `TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable` error in the `website_sale_aplicoop.eskaera_shop_products` template was caused by QWeb's strict parsing limitations.
|
||||
|
||||
**Error Location**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Template: website_sale_aplicoop.eskaera_shop_products
|
||||
Path: /t/t/div/div/form
|
||||
Node: <form ... t-attf-data-product-price="{{ display_price }}" t-attf-data-uom-category="{{ safe_uom_category }}"/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
QWeb template engine cannot parse:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Complex nested conditionals in t-set**:
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
❌ FAILS
|
||||
<t t-set="x" t-value="a if a else (b if b else c)"/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Chained 'or' operators in t-attf-* attributes**:
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
❌ FAILS
|
||||
t-attf-data-price="{{ price_info.get('price') or product.list_price or 0 }}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Deep object attribute chains with conditionals**:
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
❌ FAILS
|
||||
t-set="uom" t-value="product.uom_id.category_id.name if (product.uom_id and product.uom_id.category_id) else ''"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution Approach
|
||||
|
||||
**Move ALL logic from template to controller** where Python can safely process it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Previous Failed Attempts
|
||||
|
||||
| Commit | Approach | Result |
|
||||
|--------|----------|--------|
|
||||
| df57233 | Add `or` operators in attributes | ❌ Still failed |
|
||||
| 0a0cf5a | Complex nested conditionals in t-set | ❌ Still failed |
|
||||
| 8e5a4a3 | Three-step pattern with `or` chains | ⚠️ Partially worked but template still had logic |
|
||||
|
||||
### Final Solution (Commit 5721687)
|
||||
|
||||
**Strategy**: Let Python do all the work, pass clean data to template
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 1: Create Helper Method in Controller
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def _prepare_product_display_info(self, product, product_price_info):
|
||||
"""Pre-process all display values for QWeb safety.
|
||||
|
||||
Returns dict with:
|
||||
- display_price: float, never None
|
||||
- safe_uom_category: string, never None
|
||||
"""
|
||||
# Get price - all logic here, not in template
|
||||
price_data = product_price_info.get(product.id, {})
|
||||
price = price_data.get("price", product.list_price) if price_data else product.list_price
|
||||
price_safe = float(price) if price else 0.0
|
||||
|
||||
# Get UoM - all logic here, not in template
|
||||
uom_category_name = ""
|
||||
if product.uom_id:
|
||||
if product.uom_id.category_id:
|
||||
uom_category_name = product.uom_id.category_id.name or ""
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
"display_price": price_safe,
|
||||
"safe_uom_category": uom_category_name,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 2: Build Dict in Both Endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# In eskaera_shop() method
|
||||
product_display_info = {}
|
||||
for product in products:
|
||||
display_info = self._prepare_product_display_info(product, product_price_info)
|
||||
product_display_info[product.id] = display_info
|
||||
|
||||
# In load_eskaera_page() method (lazy loading)
|
||||
product_display_info = {}
|
||||
for product in products_page:
|
||||
display_info = self._prepare_product_display_info(product, product_price_info)
|
||||
product_display_info[product.id] = display_info
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 3: Pass to Template
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
return request.render(
|
||||
"website_sale_aplicoop.eskaera_shop",
|
||||
{
|
||||
# ... other variables ...
|
||||
"product_display_info": product_display_info,
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 4: Simplify Template to Simple Variable References
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- NO LOGIC - just dict.get() calls -->
|
||||
<t t-set="display_price"
|
||||
t-value="product_display_info.get(product.id, {}).get('display_price', 0.0)"/>
|
||||
|
||||
<t t-set="safe_uom_category"
|
||||
t-value="product_display_info.get(product.id, {}).get('safe_uom_category', '')"/>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Use in form -->
|
||||
<form t-attf-data-product-price="{{ display_price }}"
|
||||
t-attf-data-uom-category="{{ safe_uom_category }}"/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Why This Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Python handles complexity**: Conditional logic runs in Python where it's safe
|
||||
2. **Template gets clean data**: Only simple variable references, no expressions
|
||||
3. **QWeb is happy**: `.get()` method calls are simple enough for QWeb parser
|
||||
4. **No None values**: Values are pre-processed to never be None
|
||||
5. **Maintainable**: Clear separation: Controller = logic, Template = display
|
||||
|
||||
## Files Modified
|
||||
|
||||
### website_sale_aplicoop/controllers/website_sale.py
|
||||
|
||||
**Added**:
|
||||
- `_prepare_product_display_info(product, product_price_info)` method (lines 390-417)
|
||||
- Calls to `_prepare_product_display_info()` in `eskaera_shop()` (lines 1062-1065)
|
||||
- Calls to `_prepare_product_display_info()` in `load_eskaera_page()` (lines 1260-1263)
|
||||
- Pass `product_display_info` to both template renders
|
||||
|
||||
**Total additions**: ~55 lines of Python
|
||||
|
||||
### website_sale_aplicoop/views/website_templates.xml
|
||||
|
||||
**Changed**:
|
||||
- Line ~1170: `display_price` - from complex conditional to simple `dict.get()`
|
||||
- Line ~1225: `safe_uom_category` - from nested conditional to simple `dict.get()`
|
||||
|
||||
**Total changes**: -10 lines of complex XML, +5 lines of simple XML
|
||||
|
||||
## Verification
|
||||
|
||||
✅ Module loads without parsing errors:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Module website_sale_aplicoop loaded in 0.62s, 612 queries (+612 other)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
✅ Template variables in database match expectations
|
||||
|
||||
✅ No runtime errors when accessing eskaera_shop page
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Learnings
|
||||
|
||||
### QWeb Parsing Rules
|
||||
|
||||
**Safe in t-set**:
|
||||
- ✅ `dict.get('key')`
|
||||
- ✅ `dict.get('key', default)`
|
||||
- ✅ Simple method calls with literals
|
||||
- ✅ Basic `or` between simple values (with caution)
|
||||
|
||||
**Unsafe in t-set**:
|
||||
- ❌ Nested `if-else` conditionals
|
||||
- ❌ Complex boolean expressions
|
||||
- ❌ Chained method calls with conditionals
|
||||
|
||||
**For attributes (t-attf-*)**:
|
||||
- ✅ Simple variable references: `{{ var }}`
|
||||
- ✅ Simple method calls: `{{ obj.method() }}`
|
||||
- ⚠️ `or` operators may work but unreliable
|
||||
- ❌ Anything complex
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Practice Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
CONTROLLER (Python):
|
||||
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Process data │
|
||||
│ Handle None/defaults │
|
||||
│ Build clean dicts │
|
||||
│ Return display-ready values │
|
||||
└──────────────────┬──────────────────────┘
|
||||
│
|
||||
↓
|
||||
product_display_info
|
||||
│
|
||||
↓
|
||||
TEMPLATE (QWeb):
|
||||
┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Simple dict.get() calls only │
|
||||
│ NO conditional logic │
|
||||
│ NO complex expressions │
|
||||
│ Just display variables │
|
||||
└──────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This pattern ensures QWeb stays happy while keeping code clean and maintainable.
|
||||
|
||||
## Deployment Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Code committed (5721687)
|
||||
- ✅ Module loads without errors
|
||||
- ✅ Template renders without 500 error
|
||||
- ✅ Pre-commit hooks satisfied
|
||||
- ✅ Ready for production
|
||||
|
||||
## Future Prevention
|
||||
|
||||
When adding new display logic to templates:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Ask**: "Does this involve conditional logic?"
|
||||
- If NO → Can go in template
|
||||
- If YES → Must go in controller
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Never put in template**:
|
||||
- `if-else` statements
|
||||
- Complex `or` chains
|
||||
- Deep attribute chains with fallbacks
|
||||
- Method calls that might return None
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Always process in controller**:
|
||||
- Pre-calculate values
|
||||
- Handle None cases
|
||||
- Build display dicts
|
||||
- Pass to template

The `eskaera_shop_products` QWeb template was throwing a `TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable` error when loading the store page.
|
||||
|
||||
### Root Cause
|
||||
### Root Cause - QWeb Parsing Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
QWeb templates don't handle the `or` operator reliably when used directly in `t-attf-*` (attribute) expressions, especially when values can be `None`.
|
||||
QWeb has strict limitations on what expressions it can parse:
|
||||
|
||||
**Original problematic code**:
|
||||
1. **Complex nested conditionals in t-set fail**
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<form ...
|
||||
t-attf-data-product-price="{{ display_price or product.list_price or 0 }}"
|
||||
t-attf-data-uom-category="{{ product.uom_id.category_id.name if product.uom_id.category_id else '' }}"
|
||||
>
|
||||
❌ <t t-set="x" t-value="a if a else (b if b else c)"/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When `display_price` was `None`, QWeb would try to evaluate the `or` operator incorrectly, causing the error.
|
||||
2. **Direct 'or' in attributes unreliable**
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
❌ <div t-attf-val="{{ price or fallback }}"/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Deep object chains with conditionals fail**
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
❌ t-set="uom" t-value="product.uom_id.category_id.name if product.uom_id.category_id else ''"
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Solution
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern: Intermediate Variable + Simple Fallback
|
||||
### Architecture: Move Logic to Controller
|
||||
|
||||
The key insight is that complex conditional expressions in `t-set` can fail. Instead,
|
||||
use Python's native `or` operator with intermediate variables to handle None values safely.
|
||||
**Final insight**: Don't fight QWeb's limitations. Move ALL complex logic to the Python controller where it belongs.
|
||||
|
||||
**Fixed code**:
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Step 1: Extract the price value from price_info -->
|
||||
<t t-set="display_price_value"
|
||||
t-value="price_info.get('price')"/>
|
||||
#### The Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Step 2: Use Python's 'or' operator for safe fallback -->
|
||||
<t t-set="display_price"
|
||||
t-value="display_price_value or product.list_price or 0.0"/>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Step 3: Reference the computed variable in attributes -->
|
||||
<form ...
|
||||
t-attf-data-product-price="{{ display_price }}"
|
||||
t-attf-data-uom-category="{{ safe_uom_category }}"
|
||||
>
|
||||
```
|
||||
CONTROLLER (Python)
|
||||
↓ (process data, handle None)
|
||||
product_display_info = {
|
||||
product.id: {
|
||||
'display_price': 10.99, # Always a float, never None
|
||||
'safe_uom_category': 'Weight' # Always a string, never None
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
↓ (pass clean data to template)
|
||||
TEMPLATE (QWeb)
|
||||
↓ (simple dict.get() calls, no logic)
|
||||
<form t-attf-data-price="{{ product_display_info.get(product.id, {}).get('display_price', 0.0) }}"/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**In Controller** - Added `_prepare_product_display_info()` method:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def _prepare_product_display_info(self, product, product_price_info):
|
||||
"""Pre-process all display values for QWeb safety.
|
||||
|
||||
All logic happens HERE in Python, not in template.
|
||||
Returns dict with safe values ready for display.
|
||||
"""
|
||||
# Get price - handle None safely
|
||||
price_data = product_price_info.get(product.id, {})
|
||||
price = price_data.get("price", product.list_price) if price_data else product.list_price
|
||||
price_safe = float(price) if price else 0.0
|
||||
|
||||
# Get UoM category - handle None/nested attributes safely
|
||||
uom_category_name = ""
|
||||
if product.uom_id:
|
||||
if product.uom_id.category_id:
|
||||
uom_category_name = product.uom_id.category_id.name or ""
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
"display_price": price_safe, # Never None
|
||||
"safe_uom_category": uom_category_name, # Never None
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**In Template** - Simple dict.get() calls:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Just retrieve pre-processed values -->
|
||||
<t t-set="display_price"
|
||||
t-value="product_display_info.get(product.id, {}).get('display_price', 0.0)"/>
|
||||
|
||||
<t t-set="safe_uom_category"
|
||||
t-value="product_display_info.get(product.id, {}).get('safe_uom_category', '')"/>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Use simple variable references -->
|
||||
<form t-attf-data-product-price="{{ display_price }}"
|
||||
t-attf-data-uom-category="{{ safe_uom_category }}"/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
