OD114 depends-on-id¶

@api.depends names the field id, which Odoo refuses.

What it reports¶

A string given to @api.depends that is id, or a dotted path with an id segment such as partner_id.id.

Why it matters¶

api.depends raises NotImplementedError when one of its paths has an id segment, and a decorator runs when Python reads the class. Importing the file fails, so the module cannot be installed and a database that has it does not start. A record's id never changes once it exists, so there is nothing to depend on: depend on the relational field itself, partner_id, which covers a change of the record it points to.

Only literal strings are read; a function given to @api.depends is not. @api.onchange and @api.constrains are not reported.

Example¶

class SaleOrder(models.Model):
    _inherit = "sale.order"

    partner_ref = fields.Char(compute="_compute_partner_ref")

    @api.depends("partner_id.id")
    def _compute_partner_ref(self):
        for order in self:
            order.partner_ref = str(order.partner_id.id)

class SaleOrder(models.Model):
    _inherit = "sale.order"

    partner_ref = fields.Char(compute="_compute_partner_ref")

    @api.depends("partner_id")
    def _compute_partner_ref(self):
        for order in self:
            order.partner_ref = str(order.partner_id.id)
