Hello,

I've been learning the owl framework for the past couple of weeks. In chapter 2 of the tutorial where I have to create a layout (https://www.odoo.com/documentation/16.0/developer/howtos/discover_js_framework/02_odoo_web_framework.html#a-new-layout), I cannot manage to make my code work and was wondering if any one of you can help me out.

I keep getting the following error message:

https://ibb.co/8NJGr0K

Here is the code of my component JS file:

/** @odoo-module **/

import { registry } from "@web/core/registry";
import { Layout } from "@web/search/layout";


const { Component } = owl;

class AwesomeDashboard extends Component {

    setup(){

        console.log("awesomedashboard is set")


    }

}

AwesomeDashboard.components = { Layout };
AwesomeDashboard.template = "awesome_tshirt.clientaction";

registry.category("actions").add("awesome_tshirt.dashboard", AwesomeDashboard);

code of component xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<templates xml:space="preserve">

<t t-name="awesome_tshirt.clientaction" owl="1">

    <Layout display="{controlPanel:{'bottom-right':false, 'top_right':false}}">


    </Layout>

</t>

</templates>

Hello,

I assume that you are using Odoo version 16.
In this version, the Layout component needs a configuration in its environment. Its design had been thought more for use in views and less for client action (the latter is what we do in the tutorial). The API of the component has been improved in the master branch.

To use Layout in your AwesomeDashboard you can use this snippet in your setup function:

// The useSubEnv below can be deleted if you're > 16.0
useSubEnv({
	config: {
		...getDefaultConfig(),
		...this.env.config,            
	},        
});

Hello Florent,

I have added configuration to component's environment. But now I get another error message. https://ibb.co/K7mY70q .

Florent Dardenne (dafl)

The error come from a misspell you made in the layout props: `'top_right':false`-> `'top-right':false.

To help you in your journey, you can always check the solutions and compare with what you have https://github.com/odoo/tutorials/commit/c1803a7ef4e19372f39951e99a626a3047825eed
