Row's Custom Method Link Query not Working

Frappe Framework App Development

I have a field in a child table whose query changes based on the other data within the form:

The query is set in JavaScript:

        frm.set_query("delivery_zone", "items", function() {
            console.log(fulfillment.forms.sales_order.delivery_zone_query);
            return {
                query: "myapp.mymodule.doctype.delivery_zone.delivery_zone.get_zone_query",
                filters: myobject_with_the_info_needed_from_form
            };
        });

I will note that this is called much after onload, which differs from the many examples.

My Custom Method query endpoint is not even being called:

22:50:54 web.1            | 10.0.2.2 - - [16/Sep/2020 22:50:54] "POST /api/method/frappe.desk.search.search_link HTTP/1.1" 200 -
22:51:00 web.1            | 10.0.2.2 - - [16/Sep/2020 22:51:00] "POST /api/method/frappe.desk.search.search_link HTTP/1.1" 200 -
22:51:01 web.1            | 10.0.2.2 - - [16/Sep/2020 22:51:01] "POST /api/method/frappe.desk.search.search_link HTTP/1.1" 200 -

Any ideas?

Note: running the SQL I have in my endpoint by hand only returns BYB-SL East as expected. However, there is no filtering done nor is the endpoint being called.

The custom query is being called, albeit not directly from the frontend. The function frappe.desk.search.search_link in turn calls a custom query whenever specified. You can add a print function to your query to test this.

I thought perhaps the module didn’t reload after the change, but my print statement inside my custom query method does not print to the dev console

I added a print statement to print the query given to frappe.desk.search.search_link and it’s None, meaning this isn’t working:

        frm.set_query("delivery_zone", "items", function() {
            return {
                query: "myapp.mymodule.fulfillment.doctype.delivery_zone.delivery_zone.get_zone_query",
                filters: theobject_with_the_filters
            };
        });

As I said, does this HAVE to be set onload? Or can it be set anytime after? This gets called when the fields that go into the filters are set.

There are quite a few instances where this is done on refresh instead of onload. I think set_query can be called anytime as long as you’re using the delivery_zone field after the set_query call. Are you maybe testing the field before this code gets triggered? Maybe try a console.log to see if this code gets triggered at all…

After further digging, I have found that while the query does not work when editing the field in the grid row, the query works fine in the larger, expanded view. Is there a way to fix it?

It also seems that the datepicker object for the Delivery Date fields are different between the row and this expanded view…currently investigating the difference.

This solution no longer works.

Solution:

This solution, as seen here:

seems that it must be done either before or during setup().
