I'm trying to create a new file on my pc using an odoo button. this is the function in the models file of the Module:

class AccountMove(models.Model):
_inherit = "account.move"

        #some fields here

@api.model
        def write_new_file(self):
           with open('/home/msaeb/newFile.txt', 'w') as new_file:
                new_file.write("some text here")

and this the button in the view file:

    <record id="account_move_order_inherit" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">account.move.order.inherit</field>
<field name="model">account.move</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="account.view_move_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<field name="invoice_date" position="after">
<field name="expire_date"/>
</field>
<field name="ref" position="after">
           <field name="some_field_here"/>
<span>
<button name="write_new_file" string="creates new text file" type="object" class="btn btn-primary"/>
</span>
</field>
     ...
     ...

whenever I click the button I got the following error:
