Dear all,

Once again I need your help and this time with Qweb Reports in Odoo12.
I have tried to read the Odoo documentation about custom qweb reports but it is not very clear.
Also, downloaded some modules with integrated reports to try to understand they're structure (accounting_pdf_reports), but this also some difficult for me to understand at this level.

I have found a simple report for Odoo v11, and I am trying to change it to v12 and since it is a simple report, perhaps following the example will help me creating my first custom report.

The problem is that at a specific stage (when I print the report) I am getting an "IndexError: list index out of range" error.

The report files code:

1. PY:

class AttendanceRecapReportWizard(models.TransientModel):
    _name = 'attendance.recap.report.wizard'
    date_start = fields.Date(string="Start Date", required=True, default=fields.Date.today)
    date_end = fields.Date(string="End Date", required=True, default=fields.Date.today)

    @api.multi    def get_report(self):
        data = {            'ids': self.ids,
            'model': self._name,
            'form': {'date_start': self.date_start,'date_end': self.date_end,
            },
        }
        return self.env.ref('report_demo.recap_report').report_action(self, data=data)

    class ReportAttendanceRecap(models.AbstractModel):
    _name = 'report_demo.attendance_recap_report_view'

    @api.model
    def get_report_values(self, docids, data=None):
        date_start = data['form']['date_start']
        date_end = data['form']['date_end']
        date_start_obj = datetime.strptime(date_start, DATE_FORMAT)
        date_end_obj = datetime.strptime(date_end, DATE_FORMAT)
        date_diff = (date_end_obj - date_start_obj).days + 1
        docs = []
        employees = self.env['hr.employee'].search([], order='name asc')
        for employee in employees:
            presence_count = self.env['hr.attendance'].search_count([
                ('employee_id', '=', employee.id),
                ('check_in', '>=', date_start_obj.strftime(DATETIME_FORMAT)),
                ('check_out', '<=', date_end_obj.strftime(DATETIME_FORMAT)),
            ])
            absence_count = date_diff - presence_count
            docs.append({
                'employee': employee.name,
                'presence': presence_count,
                'absence': absence_count,
            })
        return {
            'doc_ids': data['ids'],
            'doc_model': data['model'], 
           'date_start': date_start,
            'date_end': date_end,
            'docs': docs,
            }

2. The view, action and menu item:

    <record model="ir.ui.view" id="attendance_recap_report_wizard">
        <field name="name">HR Attendance Custom Recap Report</field>
        <field name="model">attendance.recap.report.wizard</field>
        <field name="type">form</field>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <form string="Attendance Recap Report">
                <group>
                    <group>
                        <field name="date_start"/>
                    </group>
                    <group>
                        <field name="date_end"/>
                    </group>
                </group>
                <footer>
                    <button name="get_report" string="Get Report" type="object" class="oe_highlight"/>
                    <button string="Cancel" special="cancel"/>
                </footer>
            </form>
        </field>
    </record>
    <act_window id="action_attendance_recap_report_wizard"
                name="Attendance Recap Report"
                res_model="attendance.recap.report.wizard"
                view_mode="form"
                target="new"/>
    <menuitem action="action_attendance_recap_report_wizard"
              id="menu_attendance_report_wizard"
              parent="hr_attendance.menu_hr_attendance_report"/>

3. The report id and template:

    <report id="recap_report"
            model="attendance.recap.report.wizard"
            string="Attendance Recap Report"
            report_type="qweb-pdf"
            name="report_demo.attendance_recap_report_view"
            paperformat="paperformat_attendance_recap_report"
            menu="False"/>

    <template id="attendance_recap_report_view">
        <div class="header" style="border-bottom: 2px solid black">
            <h3 class="text-center">Attendance Recap Report</h3>
            <h4 class="text-center">
                <strong>From</strong>:
                <t t-esc="date_start"/>
                <strong>To</strong>:
                <t t-esc="date_end"/>
            </h4>
        </div>
    </template>

The full error I get is:

Odoo Server Error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\odoo12\addons\web\controllers\main.py", line 1674, in report_download
    response = self.report_routes(reportname, converter=converter, **dict(data))
  File "C:\odoo12\odoo\http.py", line 517, in response_wrap
    response = f(*args, **kw)
  File "c:\odoo12\addons\web\controllers\main.py", line 1611, in report_routes
    pdf = report.with_context(context).render_qweb_pdf(docids, data=data)[0]
  File "c:\odoo12\odoo\addons\base\models\ir_actions_report.py", line 694, in render_qweb_pdf
    bodies, html_ids, header, footer, specific_paperformat_args = self.with_context(context)._prepare_html(html)
  File "c:\odoo12\odoo\addons\base\models\ir_actions_report.py", line 316, in _prepare_html
    body_parent = root.xpath('//main')[0]
IndexError: list index out of range


Can anyone help me solve this error?
Is there some tutorial that helps me develop custom reports for Odoo v12?

Thank you all once again
Best regards

Hi,
Please update the code like this,

<template id="attendance_recap_report_view">
<t t-call="web.html_container">
<t t-call="web.internal_layout"
>
<div class="header" style="border-bottom: 2px solid black">
<h3 class="text-center">Attendance Recap Report</h3>
<h4 class="text-center">
<strong>From</strong>:
<t t-esc="date_start"/>
<strong>To</strong>:
<t t-esc="date_end"/>
</h4>
</div>
</t>
</t>
</template>


Thanks

Thank you very much @Cybrosys

David Sicard Sotaquira

Bro, pero entonces porqué razón toca obligatoriamente usar el html_container y el web.internal_layout? yo me acuerdo que en la community V8 no era necesario y uno podía mas facil customizar el header y el footer dentro del mismo reporte. Créeme que se me ha hecho muy dificil poder customizar un header y sobre todo el footer dentro de un reporte desde 0.

Thanks @Cybrosys !

This was posted a year ago, but this one actually helped me a lot. A duplicate t-call on web.external_layout cause the problem so I changed the outer one to web.html_container. Thank you!
