neomodel giving Attribute error on save

I am running the following config for neo4j:

neo4j - 3.0.0
py2neo - 2.0.8
neomodel - 2.0.2

Finally, the code I try to run is:

class User(neomodel.StructuredNode):
    user_id = neomodel.IntegerProperty(unique_index=True, required=True)
    name = neomodel.StringProperty()
    phone_number = neomodel.StringProperty()

user = User(user_id=6, name='Sourabh Dev', phone_number='9711237840').save()

I don't understand, why I keep getting this strange error. Am I doing something wrong here or should I use py2neo instead of neomodel?

My traceback is:

Solution

  • Two points here:

    1. Existing Neomodel doesn't support the Neo4j 3.0

    2. Cypher syntax has changed in 3.0, so the error raises.

    In 2.x , MATCH n RETURN n
    In 3.0 , MATCH (n) RETURN n

    Node n is enclosed in braces.
