artatac, are you using the dev branch from drupal.org? Can you maybe try to install this version? I believe this is the download link.

This still an issue, artatac? If not, will close this out. (I get no errors on installation of any module.)

Started again > latest verstion of D7 dev and commerce from your link.
D7 install - no issues
Commerce > commerce main module install by itself - no issue
then went back and installed rest of commerce sub modules - following error

FieldException: Attempt to create a field of unknown type <em class="placeholder">commerce_line_item_reference</em>. in field_create_field() (line 297 of D:\xampp\htdocs\d71208\modules\field\field.crud.inc).

will roll back and install sub modules one by one and report back

Alrighty, did some debugging on installation issues. Can you get the latest versions from CVS of Views, Entity, Rules, and Commerce and try again? Following the installation order you're using I'm not getting any more notices or errors, and everything's actually being configured properly. The fixes came in through #857662: Notices when installing Product Reference.

I don't have a cvs client or use cvs. Could you zip the relevant modules and I will happily install and retry. Or if I wait a couple of days does the cvs version become the dev version on the module project page?

Yep, after tonight it'll be packaged into a new dev release here on d.o.

Alternatively you can use the "Download source" button at the top right of this page:

http://github.com/rszrama/drupalcommerce/

That's where I commit stuff as I work on it. : )

So you're getting the "Attempt to create a field of unknown type" error? Or the wrong data type for second argument error?

Hmm, ok, could be a difference in that API function or something. Will keep an eye out for it.

I wonder if it's an installation bug with Drupal itself. Can you try installing the Line Item module on its own first, then Product Reference on its own, and then Order?

THEN

Hi,

this issue is related to a change in drupal_write_record.
Instead NULL as empty value array() should be used.
Commerce uses on several locations this construct - what causes the warning:

$op = drupal_write_record('commerce_product_type', $product_type, empty($product_type->is_new) ? 'type' : NULL);

Patch replaces all the NULL values with array()

Cheers
Peter

Thanks a lot, Peter! Joe, if that fixes it for you, I bet we can consider this issue resolved - the unknown field type errors seem to be beyond the scope of Drupal Commerce itself, and as Peter mentioned the drupal_write_record() errors are due to a change in that function that used to accept a NULL value instead of an empty array.

I've committed the patch locally and will get it pushed to CVS as soon as possible.

I got the same issue, even with commerce drupal 7.x-dev and 7.x-1.0-alpha1, which include fixes from comment #22 as you state in comment #23.

But, I get no error if I firstly install the required (dependency) modules !

Thus, if I choose to install, let's say commerce_cart (after installing only the commerce base module), I get the question if I want to install the required modules (commerce_checkout, commerce_ui, commerce_order, rules, entity_metadata, entity, commerce_line_item, commerce_price, commerce_product, commerce_product_reference, views, commerce_cart)
I agree.
And then I get : FieldException: Attempt to create a field of unknown type commerce_line_item_reference. in field_create_field() (line 297 of /drupal-7.x-dev/modules/field/field.crud.inc).

But, if I firstly install rules, entity and views before I install commerce_cart; no errors appear.

So, it seems to me as it's problem with the order of installing dependent modules.

Cool, thanks for the thorough testing. I'm guessing we need to wait on the issue bojanz mentioned in #17 to go in.

Title:

Attempt to create a field of unknown type

» working - but more feedback

Downloaded and installed the latest d7alpha (released today) and latest commerce etc. Can confirm all installed ok and have created first product via #overlay=admin/commerce/products/add/product. This allowed me to add sku, title and price. save and showing.

Then used #overlay=admin/commerce/products/types/product/fields to add and (existing) image field > went into the first product and added an image

so product exists at /commerce/products/1#overlay=admin/commerce/products/1 but cant see how to 'view/buy' it? I also presume that like the image field you add a cck text description field if you need it?

also /1#overlay=admin/content shown no content despite my toy teddy, is this because product is not a node type anymore?

Ahh, nice - didn't know there was a new alpha. : )

Will have to catch up now to take advantage of display formatter settings... Obviously look like core still has a problem.

I double #24; I left commerce_cart for last and it worked without any problems.

Previous attempts with auto enabling commerce_cart gave me various errors depending on which module(s) I had left disabled.

I'm going to mark this a duplicate and point to the issue with a full explanation and attempted patch. No point keeping this one alive any more.
