Have you ever seen:: " NameError: name '_print_' is not defined"?

Frappe Framework App Development

I have been working on a custom app for weeks now, due to some quite complex validation conditions.

Now, finally, with my tests seemingly complete I find it impossible to submit the prepared form.

/home/erpdev/frappe-bench-DYPW/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/RestrictedPython/compile.py:209: 
  SyntaxWarning: Line None: Prints, but never reads 'printed' variable.

  warnings.warn(
Traceback (most recent call last):

( I broke it into sections so you don’t have to scroll )

What am I to make of :: “SyntaxWarning: Line None: Prints, but never reads ‘printed’ variable” ???

To begin to track down the problem I reverted to the original placeholder code…

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from __future__ import unicode_literals
# import frappe
from frappe.model.document import Document

class ReturnableBatch(Document):
  pass

… YET THE ERROR STILL OCCURS???

If this rings any bells with you please let me know.

I figured this out at last.

I was trying to get started with Server Scripts and got interrupted by a minor emergency – then completely forgot about ever starting it all. :grimacing:

Presumably this is self-explanatory:

It turns out that using Python print is illegal in a Server Script

The only legal commands are listed in the documentation in Customize ERPNext / Server Script :: 2.3 Security

As you can see I was attempting to create a Server Script “Hello World”, but that deserves a separate post: Does there exist a “Hello World” example for a Server Script.
