[Bug 915975] [NEW] Fields.related writes to the target model with source id

 

Public bug reported:

Hi,

Problem:
------------
A fields.related with type='many2many' tries to write to the target model but with id of the source model in case the original value of the many2many field on the target resource is empty.

Analysis:
-----------
Take for example a column definition in osv class 'source.model':

  'related_field_id': fields.related('target_model_id', 'target_field',
type='many2many'),

A value is written to this field. The current value on the target model
is empty.

The method related._fnct_write()[1] from osv/fields.py loops over
('target_model_id', 'target_field'). The second iteration is supposed to
retrieve the resource id of the target model. It does so by setting
't_id' to t_data['id'] in three different places (!) in the loop, where
't_data' is the browse object of the target resource. It still fails to
do so in the circumstances described above.

Although the code is a bit difficult to read, you can check that *if*
the current value of the field (t_data[self.arg[i]])[2] is empty *and*
type is in ('one2many', 'many2one')[3], t_id does not get set to
t_data['id'] but keeps its original value instead. This original value
is the resource id of the source model set in the first iteration of the
loop.

Result:
---------
If a resource exists with this id, the new value get silently written to this wrong resource. If such a resource does not exist, the following error occurs: "'One of the records you are trying to modify has already been deleted".

This problem occurs on openerp-server/6.0 (rev. 3565). Trunk has not
been tested, but the function in which the problem occurs has remained
unchanged.
