Hello openT,
The following error suggest "medical_testform.py"  file not found.
Pls confirm name of OpenERP object  file(.py) is "medical_testform.py"
Or OpenERP style name of openERP Object is same as name of py file
ex. class project(osv.osv) and file name project.py

File "/.../src/openerp-server-5.0.9/bin/tools/misc.py", line 248, in file_open
raise IOError, 'File not found : ' str(name)
 IOError: File not found :
/.../src/openerp-server-5.0.9/bin/addons/medical_testform

Hello OpenT,

It could be the issue of medical_testform_view.xml file not listed under your module.

Moreover, you should have written import FILENAME in your __init__.py and the module should have FILENAME.py file.

Thanks.

Hi,

I tried remove the extra quotes (in __terp__) and changed the filenames in each files to make sure they were the same (medical_testform -> medical_test)

OLD$ filename : medical_testform.py
NEW$ filename : medical_test.py

**********__terp__.py********
OLD$> "update_xml" : ["medical_testform_view.xml",""],

to

NEW$> "update_xml" : ["medical_test_view.xml"],

**********__init__.py********
import medical_test

With the changed mentionned before, I also moved my Eclipse workspace (I work with the pyDev plugin) to a path that wasn't as long (I think the problem was probably the filenames though).

Old path: /home/likewise-open/my_domain_name/my_username/erp_py/workspace/erp_serv/src/openerp-server-5.0.9/bin/addons

NEW path: /Eclipse/workspace/erp_serv/src/openerp-server-5.0.9/bin/addons

I can now install the module without any errors, thanks for the replies.

@shanky :

// quote
Or OpenERP style name of openERP Object is same as name of py file
ex. class project(osv.osv) and file name project.py

//
Why do you suggest that the class name has the be the same as the filename?
