How to create fields in Python using wrapfiredac in python4delphi: When T = DBFireDac.T T.FieldDef.Add(feldname,type,size) :Add() takes exactly 0 arguments (3 given)

[FranciscoZanonDP]

The error "Add() takes exactly 0 arguments (3 given)" means you are attempting to call the Add() method on the T.FieldDef object with arguments, but the method in the Python wrapper for Delphi's FireDAC components is designed to be called without any arguments.

The correct way to create a field definition using wrapfiredac in Python4Delphi is typically to first create the TFieldDef object, set its properties, and then call the parameterless Add() to finalize it into the collection.

Here is the correct pattern, assuming T is your TFDQuery or similar FireDAC object:

1. Access the collection's new item creator

NewFieldDef = T.FieldDefs.Add()

2. Set the properties on the newly created object

NewFieldDef.Name = 'FieldName'
NewFieldDef.DataType = type
NewFieldDef.Size = size

No need to call Add() again, as the first step did the creation and addition

In short, use T.FieldDefs.Add() without arguments to create the object, then assign its Name, DataType, and Size properties.
