'module' object has no attribute 'startswith'

[Johann Spies]

We have an app working with a database on another server through an ssh-tunnel.

The app is working.  But the admin app which worked previously suddenly throws an error when one try to we tries the "database administration" button - but only for this app.

The traceback is this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/js/web2py/gluon/restricted.py", line 227, in restricted
    exec ccode in environment
  File "/home/js/web2py/applications/wos_2015_3/views/appadmin.html", line 93, in <module>
    {{tablename=request.args[1]}}
  File "/home/js/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/base.py", line 899, in __getitem__
    return self.__getattr__(str(key))
  File "/home/js/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/base.py", line 905, in __getattr__
    return self.lazy_define_table(tablename, *fields, **args)
  File "/home/js/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/base.py", line 845, in lazy_define_table
    field.represent = auto_represent(field)
  File "/home/js/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/helpers/methods.py", line 286, in auto_represent
    if field.db and field.type.startswith('reference') and \
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'startswith'

How do I debug this?

migrate = False for all the tables with fake_migrate on for the auth_related tables.

Regards

Johann

Could it be possible that you upgrade web2py but not the appadmin controller?

Somewhere in Field('<name>','<type>') is not a string. perhaps quotes are missing.
