How to add a Chatter in existing odoo module

Question

I am trying to add a chatter in fleet in Vehicles Services Logs and it give me this error when I am trying to update the inherit module that responsible to add the chatter,

this is the model:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from odoo import models, fields, api

class Fleet_Chatter_service(models.Model):
    _name = 'fleet.chatter.service'
    _inherit = ['fleet.vehicle.log.services', 'mail.thread', 'ir.needaction_mixin']
    _description = "fleet chatter in cost and service"

this is the view:

<odoo>
    <record model="ir.ui.view" id="odt_fleet_service_chatter_form">
      <field name="name">odt.fleet.chatter.service</field>
      <field name="model">fleet.chatter.service</field>
      <field name="inherit_id" ref="fleet.fleet_vehicle_log_services_view_form"/>
      <field name="arch" type="xml">
          <xpath expr="//form/sheet" position="after">
              <div class="oe_chatter">
                  <field name="message_follower_ids" widget="mail_followers"/>
                  <field name="activity_ids" widget="mail_activity"/>
                  <field name="message_ids" widget="mail_thread" />
              </div>
          </xpath>
      </field>
    </record>
</odoo>

and this is the error:

Try to inherit "mail.activity.mixin" as well since it is the one that adds the "activity_ids" field which you use in your view.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from odoo import models, fields, api

class Fleet_Chatter_service(models.Model):
    _name = 'fleet.chatter.service'
    _inherit = [
        'fleet.vehicle.log.services', 'mail.thread',
        'mail.activity.mixin', 'ir.needaction_mixin'
    ]
    _description = "fleet chatter in cost and service"

Inherit "mail.thread" in your class:

class Fleet_Chatter_service(models.Model):
    _name = 'fleet.chatter.service'
    _inherit = ['mail.thread', 'another.module.needed']

Now you have to add the chatter inside your view: In case of custom view, put it just after the :

        <div class="oe_chatter">
                <field name="message_ids" widget="mail_thread"/>
        </div>

Same if you are working on an inherited view, use this Xpath :

<xpath expr="//form/sheet" position="after">
    <div class="oe_chatter">
          <field name="message_ids" widget="mail_thread"/>
    </div>
</xpath>
