Use when debugging or preventing errors in Frappe Document Controllers. Prevents autoname failures, validate loops, on_submit without is_submittable, wrong lifecycle hook choice, get_list permission errors, NestedSet errors, extend_doctype_class conflicts, missing super() calls, and recursion without flags. Covers error diagnosis by lifecycle phase for v14/v15/v16. Keywords: controller error, autoname, validate loop, on_submit, is_submittable,, save fails, validate error, on_submit not…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Controller Errors — Diagnosis and Resolution

Cross-refs: `frappe-syntax-controllers` (syntax), `frappe-impl-controllers` (workflows), `frappe-errors-serverscripts` (server scripts).

## Error Diagnosis by Lifecycle Phase

```
CONTROLLER ERROR
│
├─► NAMING PHASE (autoname / before_naming)
│   ├─► NamingSeries not set → Add naming_series field or autoname property
│   ├─► DuplicateEntryError → Name collision, check uniqueness
│   └─► "name cannot be set directly" → Use autoname method, not self.name = x
│
├─► VALIDATION PHASE (before_validate / validate / before_save)
│   ├─► Infinite recursion → doc.save() called inside validate
│   ├─► Validation skipped → Missing super().validate() in override
│   └─► Wrong error timing → Use validate, not on_update, to block save
│
├─► SAVE PHASE (before_save / on_update / after_insert)
│   ├─► Changes lost in on_update → Use db_set(), not self.field = x
│   ├─► Infinite loop → self.save() in on_update triggers on_update again
│   └─► Transaction broken → frappe.db.commit() in controller (DON'T)
│
├─► SUBMIT PHASE (before_submit / on_submit)
│   ├─► "Not allowed to submit" → DocType missing is_submittable = 1

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add impertio-studio/frappe_claude_skill_package/frappe-errors-controllers@sha256:8dca2b03aa3dc04a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
