User Errors and Warnings#
When processing a request, you can stop the flow by raising an exception that
will be displayed to the user as an error message or a warning. They are
respectively UserError
and
UserWarning
.
User Errors#
An error displays a message and optionally a description to the user.
Example:
from trytond.exceptions import UserError
from trytond.model import Model
class MyModel(Model):
"My Model"
__name__ = 'my_model'
def process(self):
if check_failed:
raise UserError("You cannot process.", "because…")
Note
They are often used in combination with gettext()
to
translate the messages.
User Warnings#
A warning displays a confirmation message with optionally a description to the
user. The user can decide to continue so the request is processed again without
stopping at the warning. Otherwise the user can cancel its request.
The warning instance is identified by a name which allows to skip it the next
time it is checked, that’s why they often build using the format
method
which uses record instances to generate a unique name based on ids.
Example:
from trytond.exceptions import UserWarning
from trytond.model import Model
from trytond.pool import Pool
class MyModel(Model):
"My Model"
__name__ = 'my_model'
def process(self):
pool = Pool()
Warning = pool.get('res.user.warning')
warning_name = Warning.format('mywarning', [self])
if Warning.check(warning_name):
raise UserWarning(warning_name, "Process cannot be canceled.")
Note
If there is no user interaction the warnings can be skipped by setting the
_skip_warnings
key of the context to True
.
