I am working in V8, and thus following the V8 API guide (https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/odoo-new-api-guide-line/latest/odoo-new-api-guide-line.pdf) while trying to write a name_get function for my class.  The PDF says that you only need "self" as a parameter, like this:

def do_something(self):

When I try to run it, though, I get this error:

 Exception during JSON request handling.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/openerp-8.0_8a9027e-py2.7.egg/openerp/http.py", line 500, in _handle_exception

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/openerp-8.0_8a9027e-py2.7.egg/openerp/api.py", line 235, in wrapper

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/openerp-8.0_8a9027e-py2.7.egg/openerp/models.py", line 1767, in _name_search
    res = self.name_get(cr, access_rights_uid, ids, context)
TypeError: name_get() takes exactly 1 argument (5 given)


Does that mean that Odoo is still trying to pass in 5 arguments, when it calls the name_get method?

Hello Jeff, effectively 'name_get' is a function that is originally defined to be invoked with either the old and the new API styles. In order to achieve this, the function definition is decorated with @api.multi.

Probably you're overriding 'name_get' in your new class without any decorator, please add the @api.multi decorator (as in the original definition) as there are a couple of places in the ORM where 'name_get' is still invoked with the old API style.

I hope this helps,

Marvin

Excellent, that did the trick! For others who may have the same issue, you will also need to add "from openerp import api" in order to use @api.multi
