  • OCA Days 2021 - Online - talk proposals
    Hi everyone,

    I hope you have all had a great week.

    We've had some wonderful talks sent through already for the OCA Days 2021 but we NEED MORE.

    Key areas that we could do with extra talks are:
    • Trainings and tutorials 
    • Functional talks
    • Specific modules and their awesome features - share your hard work and knowledge
    Over the coming weeks you'll see more of these requests from me and we really want to hear from you. We have so many knowledgeable people in our community that put in so much effort on so many different topics. If you have something to share (not just limited to the bullet points above) we want to hear about it.


    Have a fabulous weekend everyone.
    Rebecca

  • Travis security issue
    Hello everyone,
    
    I recently became aware of this issue at Travis
    
    https://travis-ci.community/t/security-bulletin/12081
    
    more information available on
    
    https://twitter.com/peter_szilagyi/status/1437646118700175360
    
    I just updated the secrets we have on travis for our repositories. In 
    case you notice something strange on Travis builds, please ping me, as 
    it is the first time I use our configure-travis script (kudos to 
    Stéphane Bidoul for this) and I could have make a mistake (such as 
    uploading the wrong token...)
    
    
    Best regards

  • Reviews
    Hi all,
    
    For years, OCA has a big problem with unmerged PR's.
    
    Also, even if there are 2 reviews then PSC's generally don't respond to 
    merge requests.
    
    The answer has always been "let's review more" or "Let's use 
    gitaggregator and so we can use unmerged PR's".
    
    But why don't we try something more radical:
    
    - Let's write a script to assign "maintainer" role for all modules to 
    the person who committed the oldest/original version of it
    
    - If maintainer does not respond to a ping longer than 1 month he loses 
    the maintainer role, which then changes to the default maintainer that 
    is set for the full repo.
    
    - Let's require only 1 positive review from now on. After that the 
    maintainer can merge.
    
    --> I don't think that having 2 reviewers is always necessary and it 
    also does not prevent bugs from being merged - this happens anyway. I 
    used to have high trust of merged OCA modules but after seeing some 
    quite ugly bugs and incomplete work being merged I am starting to think 
    that maybe the quality of the unmerged stuff is not that bad as compared 
    to what is actually merged. The maintainer can prevent really bad 
    changes from entering, by just closing the PR.

  • Translations and UI

    Dear all,

    We are struggling with dealing with translations for one of our customers using mainly advanced surveys (with Odoo 12.0).

    Basically, they design all their surveys in French + they use template surveys that they duplicate for new ones, changing titles and a few labels / questions inside.


    Then they need to translate these surveys in English and German, since some of them are sent to non-French speaking companies.


    Because Odoo considers that sources terms are en_US, we have everywhere names in source terms like "template (copy)", which is of course not the term they need to translate in English and German but the French terms are to be translated in these languages. Also names in survey tables are the original en_US ones (with (copy) inside) which means nothing to them...


    I am not sure how to address this ? I have seen a number of issues on GitHub which are marked as normal behaviour and won't fix, but of course this does not help.

    I have tried a few things, and my last idea is the following : force context to lang = en_US and do not translate in French (leave terms untranslated) so that it will use source terms for French. Then activate en_GB and de_DE for translating french source in these languages.

    I have tried using context="{'lang': 'en_US'}" on translated fields in views but this does not seem to be taken into account, only context in action is but this use all fields in English then (meaning labels, group strings, etc.), which is not the intended purpose.

    We will probably override write() actions to force lang in context.


    I suppose many of you have already faced issues with translations, any idea, remark, link is welcome !

    Best Regards,

  • A methodology / best practice / Odoo / Python question

    Hello,

     

    I am struggling with this for a while so I have decided to ask here. I am building a module that would be showing active filters/ordering as tags on e-commerce by parsing query part of the URL. Besides the standard ones (search, order) we are also using brands filter and also custom_info. Both of these can have multiple options checked. User has the option to remove them individually instead of searching for appropriate checkobxes on the page. Now my approach is basically iterate through key/value pairs and for each generate what looks like a tag visually with URL that has that key/value pair removed (so it in fact removes that part of filter). For that I have devised a code like this:

     

    from odoo.http import request

     

    from werkzeug import OrderedMultiDict

    from werkzeug.urls import url_parse, url_encode

     

    def _get_filtered_url(param, value):

    filtered_args = OrderedMultiDict(filter(lambda arg: arg[0]!=param or arg[1]!=value, request.httprequest.args.items(multi=True)))

    url = url_parse(request.httprequest.url)

    return url.replace(query=url_encode(filtered_args)).to_url()

     

    Now this code is obviously not a object/class method - it should be (in my opinion) a static method. Now the question is: static method of what? Because I need to be able to call it from XML template that renders part of WebsiteSale. I guess I could create a dummy (transient?) class and call it like request.env['my_transient_class']._get_filtered_url(param, value) but that somehow does not seem right to me. Or is it the right way? I am trying to write a clean concise code that is not hacky.

     

    Any advice is welcome here. Thank you very much.

     

    Best regards

  • [28984] Scaling and healing issues with Odoo.SH, any experiences / further documentation available
    Dear community of Odooers,
    
    Odoo.SH plattform, based on a not precisely known method pauses cron
    jobs. 
    
    Our analysis shows that the pause of a period T happens, if a job A
    produces a certain amount of errors Y within a certain period Z of
    time. 
    
    Furthermore if the load exceeds some magic threshold entire systems
    seem to be shut down by the higher level VM environment causing the
    Odoo Server to restart. 
    
    Especially for larger installations in productive usage this is
    inacceptable. So we are wondering if this or similar behaviour is
    specified and documented somewhere or others did make the same or
    similar experiences with Odoo.SH. 
    
    This knowledge would be very valuable in either decide when to pull the
    plug on SH or at least how to monitor and prevent those situations from
    happening. 
    
    Best Frederik
    
    P.S.: It is clear that for a cloud environment to operate properly such
    measures shall be taken but at least they must clearly be documented
    
    P.P.S: What i found was this 
    https://www.odoo.com/documentation/master/administration/odoo_sh/advanced/frequent_technical_questions.html
    
    basically saying that and why they are doing it but not on the basis of
    which measures
    
    and that

  • Travis logs full of "INFO openerp_test odoo.schema: Keep unexpected index"
    Hello contributors,

    since 2 or 3 days ago max, on several OCA 12.0 builds one can see logs full of "Keep unexpected index" log messages such as:

    2021-08-22 13:29:16,607 7203 INFO openerp_template odoo.schema: Keep unexpected index ir_model_data_date_update_index on table ir_model_data
    10242021-08-22 13:29:16,607 7203 INFO openerp_template odoo.schema: Keep unexpected index ir_model_data_date_init_index on table ir_model_data
    10252021-08-22 13:29:16,608 7203 INFO openerp_template odoo.schema: Keep unexpected index ir_model_data_create_uid_index on table ir_model_data
    10262021-08-22 13:29:16,608 7203 INFO openerp_template odoo.schema: Keep unexpected index ir_model_data_create_date_index on table ir_model_data
    10272021-08-22 13:29:16,608 7203 INFO openerp_template odoo.schema: Keep unexpected index ir_model_data_write_uid_index on table ir_model_data
    10282021-08-22 13:29:16,608 7203 INFO openerp_template odoo.schema: Keep unexpected index ir_model_data_write_date_index on table ir_model_data

    --

    some examples among many:

    The strange logs are there but the build is still successful.

    The problem is that these "unexepected index" messages make the logs so verbose that the test job is killed because we are exhausting the log length quota in repos with lots of tests like OCA/l10n-brazil:
    "The job exceeded the maximum log length, and has been terminated."

    I can see no recent change in the Odoo 12.0 branch nor OCA/maintainer-quality-tools that could explain such changes. Seems there is no psycopg update either.

    Any idea how to fix this? This is blocking lot's of PR in repos such as OCA/l10n-brazil but I'm sure other repos will soon be blocked too.

    Best regards.

  • Travis .pot push issue
    Hi,

    This afternoon you may have noticed merge commands failing due to a token error when Travis tried to push the generated .pot files back to GitHub.

    For some reason our token had become invalid and a new one had to be generated and pushed to the config of all repos... which was something I had hoped to avoid since that solution was put in place.

    It is now resolved. Let me know if there are any remaining issues.

  • Employee contract builder in Odoo
    Hi OCA,
    
    A customer has a need for a solution that can allow HR users to 'build' 
    an employee contract by selecting texts from a predefined list of HTML 
    snippets.
    
    For example:
    
    Section A:
    
    - Clause type A (select from list)
    - Clause type A (select from list)
    - Clause type A (select from list)
    
    Section B:
    
    - Clause type B (select from list)
    
    The clauses should be poweruser-editable, translatable HTML snippets in 
    which also placeholders can be used such as in Odoo email templates: 
    {{employee.name}} and the like.
    
    It's possible to custom-build this, but is there anyone who has already 
    seen something like this in action? I know some legal firms which had 
    something like this custom-built in order to serve their customers 
    quicker and sell them auto-generated contracts based on an online survey 
    that the customer has to fill, thereby earning good money with very 
    little work; but I haven't seen it in Odoo yet.

  • Continuous / Repetitive Manufacturing
    Dear community,

    Are there anyone with experience around continuous / repetitive manufacturing and Odoo/OCA, i.e., chemical refinery plant, bio diesel plant, solar energy plant. The process with continuous stream of input material and by products.

    It does seem to me that, Odoo has nothing around this area and is not a good solution, is it?
