[Zope3-Users] newbie problems with new content-type

[Lorenzo Gil Sanchez]

Hi,

I'm trying to get my first content-type working and I have some 
problems. For the record, I'm following Stephan great book and I'm 
running Zope 3.2.0 on Windows.

My content-type represents a Provider and is quite simple. The first 
problem I have is when I try to run the tests with the following code:

c:\path\to\my\instance\bin\test -vpu --dir z:\my_root_app_dir
[ traceback ]
ImportError: No module named z:.my_root_app_dir

So I go to the z:\ dir and try another form:

c:\path\to\my\instance\bin\test -vpu --dir my_root_app_dir
Running tests at level 1
Total: 0 tests, 0 failures, 0 errors


So no tests found. But when I run this command:

Z:\>c:\python24\python my_root_app_dir\tests\test_provider.py
.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 0.010s

OK

It *runs* 1 test. What am I doing wrong?

Second question: When I register my content-type in Zope using a 
configure.zcml in the root directory and a browser package with its own 
configure.zcml everything seems to work fine. I can see an entry in the 
Add menu for my content type.

When I click on that entry I see a nice autogenerated form for the 
Provider. I fill some fields and click the Add button and then I get a 
security exception:

ForbiddenAttribute: ('name', <my_root_app_dir.provider.Provider object 
at 0x034A2730>)

I'm logging in as the only principal in my zope instance which is the 
one created with the mkzopeinstance script. In the configure.zcml file 
of the browser subpackage I have this code:

   <addform
       label="Add Provider"
       name="AddProvider.html"
       schema="my_root_app_dir.interfaces.IProvider"
       content_factory="my_root_app_dir.provider.Provider"
       fields="name phone address email"
       permission="zope.ManageContent"
       />

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
