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_.
.. contents::
Quick start
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-odoo
Assuming the following script named ``list-users.py``.
.. code:: python
#!/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.py
or::
click-odoo -d dbname --log-level=error ./list-users.py
The other technique to create scripts looks like this. Assuming
the following script named ``list-users2.py``.
.. code:: python
#!/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.
Supported Odoo versionsOdoo 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.
Database transactions
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()``.
LoggingLogging 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.
Command line interface (click-odoo)
.. code::
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 b
In both examples above, ``sys.argv[1:]`` will contain ``['-d', 'a', 'b']``
in the script.
API@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-level option (default: 'info').
with_rollback
Controls the presence of the --rollback option (default: True).
This is useful for creating commands that commit and leave no possibility
for rollback.
with_database
Controls the presence of the --database option (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). If with_database is False,
database_required is implied to be False too.
database_required
Controls if a database must be provided through the --database
option 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-path option (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 to OdooEnvironment
below, plus the click ctx as well as **kwargs for future proofing):
.. code:: python
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:
.. code:: python
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:
.. code:: python
from click_odoo import OdooEnvironment
with OdooEnvironment(database='dbname') as env: env['res.users'].search([])
Developement
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 <https://github.com/ambv/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 <https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit>`_ and
run ``pre-commit install`` after cloning the repository.
To release, create a release with a tag on GitHub. This will trigger a
deployment to PyPI.
