web2py - Key error when defining reference to table before table definition

Question

this exact error happened to me after upgrading web2py.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/web2py/58aG2cdzk8s

I'm using Version 2.11.2-stable.

I don't know how to report this properly. Any ideas?

Also, what more information would you want?

Answer 1

That may be considered a bug, which you can report on Github.

For now, the workaround is to set lazy_tables=True or make sure reference fields refer only to tables that have already been defined.
