click-odoo helps you create and run beautiful and robust command line scripts for Odoo. It is based on the excellent Click library.
Useful community-managed scripts can be found in click-odoo-contrib.
Check Odoo is correctly installed: python -c "import odoo" must work when run from another directory than the Odoo root directory.
Install click-odoo:
pip install click-odooAssuming the following script named list-users.py.
#!/usr/bin/env python
from __future__ import print_function
for u in env['res.users'].search([]):
print(u.login, u.name)It can be run with:
python -m click_odoo -d dbname --log-level=error ./list-users.pyor:
click-odoo -d dbname --log-level=error ./list-users.pyThe other technique to create scripts looks like this. Assuming the following script named list-users2.py.
#!/usr/bin/env python
from __future__ import print_function
import click
import click_odoo
@click.command()
@click_odoo.env_options(default_log_level='error')
@click.option('--say-hello', is_flag=True)
def main(env, say_hello):
if say_hello:
click.echo("Hello!")
for u in env['res.users'].search([]):
print(u.login, u.name)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()It can be run like this:
$ ./list-users2.py --help
Usage: list-users2.py [OPTIONS]
Options:
-c, --config PATH Specify the Odoo configuration file. Other ways to
provide it are with the ODOO_RC or OPENERP_SERVER
environment variables, or ~/.odoorc (Odoo >= 10) or
~/.openerp_serverrc.
-d, --database TEXT Specify the database name. If present, this
parameter takes precedence over the database
provided in the Odoo configuration file.
--log-level TEXT Specify the logging level. Accepted values depend on
the Odoo version, and include debug, info, warn,
error, critical. [default: error]
--logfile PATH Specify the log file.
--rollback Rollback the transaction even if the script
does not raise an exception. Note that if
the script itself commits, this option has no
effect, this is why it is not named dry run.
This option is implied when an interactive
console is started.
--say-hello
--help Show this message and exit.
$ ./list-users2.py --say-hello -d dbname
Hello!
admin Administrator
...Finally, you can start an interactive shell by simply typing python -m click_odoo -d dbname or click-odoo -d dbname. This will launch the python REPL with an Odoo env available as a global variable.
Odoo version 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 are supported.
An important design goal is to provide a consistent behaviour across Odoo versions.
Note
click-odoo does not mandate any particular method of installing odoo. The only prerequisiste is that import odoo must work when run from another directory than the Odoo root directory.
You may also rely on the fact that python adds the current directory to sys.path, so import odoo works from the Odoo root directory. In such case, the only working invocation method may be python -m click_odoo.
By default click-odoo commits the transaction for you, unless your script raises an exception. This is so that you don't need to put explicit commits in your scripts, which are therefore easier to compose in larger transactions (provided they pass around the same env).
There is a --rollback option to force a rollback.
A rollback is always performed after an interactive session. If you need to commit changes made before or during an interactive session, use env.cr.commit().
Logging is controlled by the usual Odoo logging options (--log-level, --logfile) or the Odoo configuration file.
Note the --log-level option applies to the odoo package only.
Usage: click-odoo [OPTIONS] [SCRIPT] [SCRIPT_ARGS]...
Execute a python script in an initialized Odoo environment. The script has
access to a 'env' global variable which is an odoo.api.Environment
initialized for the given database. If no script is provided, the script
is read from stdin or an interactive console is started if stdin appears
to be a terminal.
Options:
-c, --config FILE Specify the Odoo configuration file. Other
ways to provide it are with the ODOO_RC or
OPENERP_SERVER environment variables, or
~/.odoorc (Odoo >= 10) or
~/.openerp_serverrc.
--addons-path TEXT Specify the addons path. If present, this
parameter takes precedence over the addons
path provided in the Odoo configuration
file.
-d, --database TEXT Specify the database name. If present, this
parameter takes precedence over the database
provided in the Odoo configuration file.
--log-level TEXT Specify the logging level. Accepted values
depend on the Odoo version, and include
debug, info, warn, error. [default: info]
--logfile FILE Specify the log file.
--rollback Rollback the transaction even if the script
does not raise an exception. Note that if
the script itself commits, this option has
no effect. This is why it is not named dry
run. This option is implied when an
interactive console is started.
-i, --interactive / --no-interactive
Inspect interactively after running the
script.
--shell-interface TEXT Preferred shell interface for interactive
mode. Accepted values are ipython, ptpython,
bpython, python. If not provided they are
tried in this order.
--help Show this message and exit.Most options above are the same as odoo options and behave identically. Additional Odoo options can be set in the the configuration file. Note however that most server-related options (workers, http interface etc) are ignored because no server is actually started when running a script.
An important feature of click-odoo compared to, say, odoo shell is the capability to pass arguments to scripts.
In order to avoid confusion between click-odoo options and your script options and arguments, it is recommended to separate them with --:
click-odoo -d dbname -- list-users.py -d a b
./list-users.py -d dbname -- -d a bIn both examples above, sys.argv[1:] will contain ['-d', 'a', 'b'] in the script.
@click_odoo.env_options() is a decorator that is used very much like @click.option() and inserts the list of predefined click-odoo options. Instead of passing down these options to the command, it prepares an odoo Environment and passes it as a env parameter.
It is configurable with the following keyword arguments:
- default_log_level
The default value for the
--log-leveloption (default: 'info').- with_rollback
Controls the presence of the
--rollbackoption (default: True). This is useful for creating commands that commit and leave no possibility for rollback.- with_database
Controls the presence of the
--databaseoption (default: True). This is useful to create scripts that have access to a pre-loaded Odoo configuration, without any database. In such case, the environment is not set (env is None). Ifwith_databaseis False,database_requiredis implied to be False too.- database_required
Controls if a database must be provided through the
--databaseoption or the Odoo configuration file (default: True).- database_must_exist
If this flag is False and the selected database does not exist do not fail and pass env=None instead (default: True).
- with_addons_path
Controls the presence of the
--addons-pathoption (default: False).- environment_manager
experimental feature A context manager that yields an intialized
odoo.api.Environment. It is invoked after Odoo configuration parsing and initialization. It must have the following signature (identical toOdooEnvironmentbelow, plus the clickctxas well as**kwargsfor future proofing):environment_manager(database, rollback, ctx, **kwargs)
click_odoo.env_options is a class that can be extended for customization purposes.
It currently has one method that is intended to be overridden, with the following signature:
def get_odoo_args(self, ctx: click.Context) -> List[str]:
...It must return a list of Odoo command line arguments computed from the Click context. It will be called after parsing all parameters of the command, and before initializing Odoo and invoking the command function.
As a convenience click_odoo exports the odoo namespace, so from click_odoo import odoo is an alias for import odoo.
This package also provides an experimental OdooEnvironment context manager. It is meant to be used in after properly intializing Odoo (ie parsing the configuration file etc).
Warning
This API is considered experimental, contrarily to the scripting mechanism (ie passing env to scripts) and env_options decorator which are stable features. Should you have a specific usage for this API and would like it to become stable, get it touch to discuss your requirements.
Example:
from click_odoo import OdooEnvironment
with OdooEnvironment(database='dbname') as env:
env['res.users'].search([])To run tests, type tox. Tests are made using pytest. To run tests matching a specific keyword for, say, Odoo 12 and python 3.6, use tox -e py36-12.0 -- -k keyword.
This project uses black as code formatting convention, as well as isort and flake8. To make sure local coding convention are respected before you commit, install pre-commit and run pre-commit install after cloning the repository.
