I'm trying to manipulate the sale form by a module with inheritance in views. I have following XML for testing:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
    <data>
        <record id="view_order_form" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">sale.order.form.custom.120</field>
            <field name="model">sale.order</field>
            <field name="inherit_id" ref="sale.view_order_form"/>
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                <data>
                    <field name="invoiced" position="replace"/>
                    <xpath
                        expr="//page[@string='Order Line']/field[@name='product_uom_qty']" 
                        position="replace">
                    </xpath>
                </data>
            </field>
        </record>
    </data>
</openerp>

AFAIK that should remove the quantity field from the form. But it won't.

I tested the XPath expression wit a query tool. Should be fine.

Is there any debug/trace level to see what happens, when reading this XML to update the view ?

(Updates removed, as incorrect)

We had some issues with sale order view customizations not showing up properly and it was because of the loading order between sale, sale_stock and the custom modules. Setting the custom modules to depend on sale_stock instead of sale fixed the issue. Perhaps your issue is related if you currently have sales and warehouse management functionalities installed.

You were right, in my case sale_layout puts the field again into the form.

Hello Peterm,

Your xpath seems wrong.

Try this xpath:

<xpath expr="//notebook/page[@string='Order Lines']/field[@name='order_line']/tree/field[@name='product_uom_qty']" position="replace"></xpath>
<xpath expr="//notebook/page[@string='Order Lines']/field[@name='order_line']/form/group/group/label[@for='product_uom_qty']" position="replace"></xpath>
<xpath expr="//notebook/page[@string='Order Lines']/field[@name='order_line']/form/group/group/div/field[@name='product_uom_qty']" position="replace"></xpath>

Then update your module.

Hope this will solve your problem.

Thanks,

None of them works for me. So asking again, is there a trace option or where OE reads and proceses the xpath expression to add a trace there to see what happens.

What error are you facing?

Updating the module, the field keeps on the form (should be removed) as nothing was done. If I provoke an error in the XML I get an error message. That means my XML is read on update ...
