[v15 -> v16 Openupgrade] res_partner_views: Inherited view cannot have 'Groups' define on the record. Use 'groups' attributes inside the view definition

[bgomez-psitec]

hello,

First of all, thank you for helping the community and I hope you can help me. (I'm quite new, although I'm still studying)
I have been using Odoo in my business for almost two years with a version 14 community and some OCA module, which has worked correctly for me.
I have decided to update version 14 to 17, for which I have been able to update to version 15 and now I am updating to 16, always using OCA openupgrade.

My problem is that when migrating the database from v15 to v16 using the openupgrade-v16 script it shows me the following error:

2024-03-09 17:43:06,201 31738 DEBUG odoopsitec odoo.tools.convert: while parsing /opt/odoo/odoo/addons/product/views/res_partner_views.xml:3

I have reviewed the res_partner_views.xml file and its content is as follows:

<record id="view_partner_property_form" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">res.partner.product.property.form.inherit</field>
    <field name="model">res.partner</field>
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form"/>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <group name="sale">
            <field name="property_product_pricelist" groups="product.group_product_pricelist" attrs="{'invisible': [('is_company','=',False),('parent_id','!=',False)]}"/>
            <div name="parent_pricelists" groups="product.group_product_pricelist" colspan="2" attrs="{'invisible': ['|',('is_company','=',True),('parent_id','=',False)]}">
                <p>Pricelists are managed on <button name="open_commercial_entity" type="object" string="the parent company" class="oe_link"/></p>
            </div>
        </group>
    </field>
</record>

I have made different modifications to this file without success. I have searched on Google and although I have not found much information, I have been able to investigate a possible solution, which has not worked for me and I always have this message in the migration.

Could you guide me?
Thank you so much

Hi! Did you manage to solve it?

[bgomez-psitec]

Hello, not yet, I'm still looking for the reason for the problem.

[pedrobaeza]

The problem is that there's an inherited view that is not removed as it was created manually (or just the groups assigned manually), and thus, it raises the error. Check that on your previous version, and you will need to remove or rest the groups on it before migrating.

[bgomez-psitec]

Good afternoon Pedrobaeza, thank you very much for your help and response. Could you tell me where to check those groups?
In some applications, I have created favorite views with grouped elements. Could it be related?

Thank you so much,
All the best

[pedrobaeza]

Check the children views in the previous version to detect it.

[bgomez-psitec]

good afternoon Pedro Baeza, thank you very much for your response and help.

I am clear that an inherited view has a defined group that is not valid for the new version, the error and the comments on the forums indicate that. but no one told me where to check the views and what I should find.
Where do I check inherited views?
What is an incorrect group? How would it be correct?
We haven't done anything custom. the only thing is the groups in a saved view.

You all tell me what I have to look at, but no one tells me how to do it, so it is of little use.

[pedrobaeza]

I'm afraid that these concepts are outside of this OpenUpgrade scope and you should know them in order to face a technical challenge like migrating between versions. Please dive into Odoo ORM and framework to know about it: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/16.0/developer.html

Thank you very much for the interest and help
