ComponentLookupError: (<InterfaceClass zc.relation.interfaces.ICatalog>, '') with Dexterity references

Question

The following is a snippet from a dexterity content type which I'm working on. There are two content types, Programmes and Projects. It should be possible to associate a Project with a Programme (I've defined that below as a RelationChoice).

from five import grok
from plone.directives import dexterity, form

from zope import schema
from zope.schema.interfaces import IContextSourceBinder
from zope.schema.vocabulary import SimpleVocabulary, SimpleTerm

from zope.interface import invariant, Invalid

from z3c.form import group, field

from plone.namedfile.interfaces import IImageScaleTraversable
from plone.namedfile.field import NamedImage, NamedFile
from plone.namedfile.field import NamedBlobImage, NamedBlobFile

from plone.app.textfield import RichText

from z3c.relationfield.schema import RelationList, RelationChoice
from plone.formwidget.contenttree import ObjPathSourceBinder

from alteroo.programmeshowcase import MessageFactory as _
from alteroo.programmeshowcase.project import IProject


# Interface class; used to define content-type schema.

class IBaseProgramme(form.Schema, IImageScaleTraversable):
    """
    Programme
    """

    # If you want a schema-defined interface, delete the form.model
    # line below and delete the matching file in the models sub-directory.
    # If you want a model-based interface, edit
    # models/progamme.xml to define the content type
    # and add directives here as necessary.

    form.model("models/programme.xml")

class IProgamme(IBaseProgramme):
    """A conference program. Programs can contain Sessions.
    """

    project = RelationChoice(
        title=_(u"Project"),
        source=ObjPathSourceBinder(object_provides=IProject.__identifier__),
        required=False,
    )

The definition above results in an editing view that looks like this. When I try to add a related project it throws an error.

Here's the traceback I get when I try to add a related project:

Answer 1

You need to activate "Relation Field" (plone.app.relationfield) in the Addons control panel to install the relation catalog.
