odoo-15-development-essentials's Issues

ch03 controllers main.py

at page 113 there's extra quote as marked in image

In the item "Setting the module category"

I realized that XML ID is "base.module_ name of the module" and not "base.module_ name of the category_ subcategory". And this nomenclature is only applicable to modules and not to groups of users. That would be wrong in the book.

Congratulations on the book. It's helping me a lot. Grateful.

No development workflow for Odoo.sh

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this issue but I have been struggling to figure out a sensible workflow for developing modules for Odoo.sh. I bought this book in the hope that I would find it here but all I found was a reference back to the Odoo site which is not helpful.

It isn't practical to use Odoo.sh as a development platform for any significant development, so I want to develop (multiple) modules locally that I can push to multiple Odoo.sh projects. I would prefer to use a Git submodule for each of my custom modules but I haven't been able to make that work. I didn't find any help in the book - or have I missed somethng?

This seems to be a major oversight for a book about developing Odoo apps!

Chapitre 4

when finished chapitre 4 , the odoo server work but when I restart odoo the module library don't work I need to update library_app ; i dont know why this is message errors ;
*WARNING library odoo.modules.graph: module library_app: not installable, skipped
*WARNING library odoo.modules.graph: module library_member: not installable, skipped
*ERROR library odoo.modules.loading: Some modules have inconsistent states, some dependencies may be missing: ['library_app', 'library_member']
*ERROR library odoo.addons.base.models.ir_model: Missing model library.book
*ERROR library odoo.addons.base.models.ir_model: Missing model library.member

Chapter 3(book.name -> book.title)

On page 114, book.name should be edited to book.title since the Book model doesn't have name attribute but title.

Chapter 11 > Using t-out to render values

<t t-set="red_or_black"
t-value="record.num_books == 0 ? '' :
'oe_kanban_text_red'"
/>

must be

<t t-set="red_or_black"
t-value="record.num_books.value == 0 ? '' :
'oe_kanban_text_red'"
/>

I tested on odoo 16 community edition

odoo -d 15-library --addons-path="./library,./odoo/addons" --save --stop

odoo -d 15-library --addons-path="./library,./odoo/addons" --save --stop

This returns an error saying ./library isn't a valid path. The folder is present. I followed this script to set this up. I tried using the full path too. Not sure what's going on.

chapter 2 - adding ./library in --addons-path fails

After running these 3 commands:

cd ~/work15
git clone https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Odoo-15-Development-Essentials.git library
odoo -d 15-library --addons-path="./library,./odoo/addons" --save --stop

odoo returns error message:
odoo: error: option --addons-path: the path './library' is not a valid addons directory
