Transmogrifier Missing Parameter Error

rbrown12 · December 21, 2020, 6:19pm

I am running into a problem running collective transmogrifier on Plone 5.0.10. I have been using this version since it was able to run Archetypes addons. When I attempted to migrate from Archetypes to Dexterity, this error came up:

MissingParameterError: At least one of these parameters must be supplied: userid, username.

Is there a way to get the userid to transfer over from the archetypes to dexterity content type? I was able to get it working by using the following python code for example in the implementer, however the title fields and other member fields were displaying as blank in the views:

def computeTitle(self):
    user = api.user.get_current()
    first_name = user.getProperty('first_name') or ' '
    last_name = user.getProperty('last_name') or ' '
    space = ', '
    return "%s%s%s" % (last_name, space, first_name)

I am currently trying to use the following in my code:

def computeTitle(self):
    user = api.user.get(username=self.userid)
    first_name = user.getProperty('first_name') or ' '
    last_name = user.getProperty('last_name') or ' '
    space = ', '
    return "%s%s%s" % (last_name, space, first_name)

What needs to change?

I thank you kindly for your help.

There seems to be something off in Module yc.facultycv.content.faculty, line 886, in **computeDescription**.

Could you copy/paste that code please?

rbrown12 · December 21, 2020, 8:12pm

def computeDescription(self):
    user = api.user.get(username=self.userid)
    first_name = user.getProperty('first_name') or ' '
    last_name = user.getProperty('last_name') or ' '
    dept = user.getProperty('department') or ' '
    teachingTitle = user.getProperty('functionalTitle') or ' '
    officePhone = user.getProperty('phone') or ' '
    email = user.getProperty('email') or ' '
    space = ' '
    of = ' - '
    return "%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s" % (
        first_name, space, last_name, space, teachingTitle, of, dept, of, officePhone, of, email)

That seems right.
You're passing in username, so that should not trigger that error.

I want to make sure that this the actual computeDescription.
If you add raise ValueError('hello') just before user = api.user.get(username=self.userid) in computeDescription, what happens?

This is the error I get:

So it is the right method, thanks!
I'm sorry, but it all seems a-ok. I don't see what is wrong here.
If you now remove the raise ValueError, what happens?

I'm wondering if you changed computeDescription to use username=blah, but didn't restart the instance by accident.

That means that user is None, from user = api.user.get(username=self.userid).

I'm guessing that either self.userid is a non-existing username, or that you need to use userid instead of username: https://docs.plone.org/develop/plone.api/docs/api/user.html#plone.api.user.get
