Error adding new Module Def

1

Hey guys,
So I am trying to add a new Doctype and a new Module Def.

The error appearing is this:

ImportError: No module named hotel_transportation

I am running on:

ERPNext: v12.1.5 (version-12)

Frappe Framework: v12.0.10 (version-12)

Any idea what’s this about ?

In your database, table Module Def check if there is an entry by the same name. If yes, delete that row.

4

How is it possible to have such a row if this is a brand new Module Def to be added ? haha :slight_smile:

5

You were adding Hotel Transportation as a new module def ?

6

Yes indeed, a brand new Doctype with a brand new Module Def…

7

What did you set in the field app ?

8

Same name as the module def …

9

any chance you created the app but forgot to install it on the site ?

10

No chance because I don’t know how to do that by myself haha but I will double check maybe somehow I did that accidentally … it’s a good point :slight_smile:
