I have created a custom settings model. In this model, I have a Float field that stores a rate. When I store the value in 'ir.config_parameter', it is a float. But when I retrieve the value, it comes back as a string.
My settings:
class CustomSettings(models.TransientModel):
_name = 'custom.settings'
_inherit = 'res.config.settings'
rate = fields.Float()
def set_values(self):
res = super(CustomSettings, self).set_values()
self.env['ir.config_parameter'].set_param('custom.rate', rate)
return res
@api.model
def get_values(self):
res = super(CustomSettings, self).get_values()
settings = self.env['ir.config_parameter']
rate = settings.get_param('custom.rate')
res.update(rate=rate)
return res
I can input a value into 'rate' from my view and then save it, which calls set_values(). But when I go back to the settings page, it gives me an error, saying
Error: [_.sprintf] expecting number but found string
Sure enough, printing the type of 'rate' when I retrieve it from 'ir.config_parameter' shows that it is a string.
Why is this happening? I know the easy workaround would be to just convert the value to a float when I retrieve it. But I feel like this shouldn't be necessary. Any thoughts?
