I get the message "AttributeError: 'DAL' object has no attribute 'item" and I can't understand why. Here's my whole models.py:

from pydal.validators import *
from py4web.utils.auth import Auth
from .common import db, Field


db.define_table("invoice", 
    Field("invoice_number","integer"),
    Field("item_id","reference item"))


db.define_table("item",
    Field("description"),
    Field("sku"))


db.commit()

P.S. Pydal version 20200714.1

Also,

What database

Is there any reason you can't upgrade to the latest pydal?

Wait a second.

Can you put your item table definition before the invoice table definition?

I think it is trying to reference your item table in the invoice table creation, but it doesn't exist yet.

Um...

I'm just going to hack into googlegroups.com, delete that earlier message, and replace it with a much better question. Because of course I wouldn't do anything that stupid, Jim. Srsly, of course that was the problem. Thanks!

And delete the part where I didn't see it right away.

Chat with you tomorrow...
