[web2py] list:reference not working

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 13:08:33 -0700

I had posted this question on stackoverflow.com but haven't gotten a
response as quick as I'd like. I figured this may be a more
appropriate place to post the question.

I am trying to get the list:reference field type to work for web2py,
but for some reason I am getting an error. I am trying the example on
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/06:

db.define_table('tag',Field('name'),format='%(name)s')
db.define_table('product',
    Field('name'),
    Field('tags','list:reference tag'))
When I try this, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gluon/restricted.py", line 178, in restricted
File "C:/web2py/applications/idd/models/db.py", line 93, in <module>
File "gluon/sql.py", line 1309, in define_table
File "gluon/sql.py", line 1664, in _create
SyntaxError: Field: unknown field type: list:reference tag for tags

This should be really simple, but is not working. Am I missing
something that the book doesn't tell us about? I'm running web2py
v1.81.4, is the list:reference type not supported in this version?
