> I have tried to improve this at my end so the following patch will raise a warning message (eg: If I changed the widget="abc" then It will allow me with out any error.):
It should not display as an error, especially not one which implies a user error: the widget used might be understood by an other client (for instance an extension to the web client which adds that widget at a client) and just not one which is understood by GTK client. > I dont think its good to validate this at client side for the wrong widget attribute, the framework should not allow the view if the attributes value is not a valid one. But this could very well be a valid widget value (widget values are pretty much arbitrary after all), just a widget which is not supported by gtk client. > may be at the time of fields_view_get call we can parse the nodes attribute and check if @widget is present and the value is not in the predefined OpenERP widgets then we can raise a warning such as Incorrect attribute value or something similar. I think if @widget value is not part of widgets GTK understands, it should just ignore @widget and use normal widget for field type instead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenERP sa GTK client R&D, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/802583 Title: GTK client does not display anything when encounters unknown @widget Status in OpenERP GTK Client: Triaged Bug description: If a view is created with field's "widget" attribute set to a value the GTK client does not know, instead of falling back on a widget it knows (e.g. default widget for the field) the GTK client simply does not display anything. GTK client should implement that fallback so that it's not broken in case of views improved through widgets one client knows but the other one does not know.
