Hi!

This is my first post here. I'm newbie with Odoo, but I'm trying to learn more about it.

I'm writing my first module. I put this piece of code into my class:

        def _get_days(self,cr,uid,ids,field_name, arg ,context=None):
res = {},
fmt = '%d-%m-%Y',
for obj in self.browse(cr, uid, ids, context=context):
#res[obj.id] = {'diff_days':0, }, #valore di default
from_date = obj.data_inizio,
to_date = obj.data_fine,
d1 = datetime.strptime(from_date, fmt),
d2 = datetime.strptime(to_date, fmt),
daysDiff = str((d2-d1).days),
res[obj.id]['diff_days'] = daysDiff,
return res

I've declared 'data_inizio', 'data_fine' and 'diff_days' in this way:

        _columns = {

'data_inizio': fields.date('Data Inizio', required=True),
            'data_fine': fields.date('Data Fine', required=True),
            'diff_days': fields.function(_get_days, string='Diff days', multi='sums', store=True),


}

I've followed the instructions of this post: https://www.odoo.com/fr_FR/forum/help-1/question/how-to-calculate-difference-bitween-two-dates-31486

When I try to create a new input, I get this error:

Odoo

d1 = datetime.strptime(from_date, fmt),
TypeError: must be string, not tuple

Could anyone hel me?

Thanks in advance.

Uilino, Strange error! The date will always be the type string. Would you please debug and try to print the type(from_date) before the errorneous statement? Thanks.

Hello,

Please make your code as like below. It will resolve your entire problem.

def _get_days(self,cr,uid,ids,field_name, arg ,context=None):

res = {}

fmt = '%d-%m-%Y'

for obj in self.browse(cr, uid, ids, context=context):

#res[obj.id] = {'diff_days':0, }, #valore di default

from_date = obj.data_inizio

to_date = obj.data_fine

d1 = datetime.strptime(from_date, fmt)

d2 = datetime.strptime(to_date, fmt)

daysDiff = str((d2-d1).days)

res[obj.id]['diff_days'] = daysDiff

return res

I have just removed "," from end of every line.

When you have given from_date = obj.data_inizio,  at that time python assign tuple inside "from_date" variable. That's why you got an error that :

File "/home/Odoo/openerp/openerp/addons/mymodule/mymodule.py", line 28, in _get_days

d1 = datetime.strptime(from_date, fmt),

TypeError: must be string, not tuple


I am "sure" your issue will resolve.

It works!

Thank you very much.

I also have uncommented this line:

#res[obj.id] = {'diff_days':0, }, 

without ",".
