Package: odoo11-addon-module-auto-update
This addon provides mechanisms to compute sha1 hashes of installed addons,
and save them in the database. It also provides a method that exploits these
mechanisms to update a database by upgrading only the modules for which the
hash has changed since the last successful upgrade.Table of contentsConfigurationUsageKnown issues / RoadmapBug TrackerCreditsAuthorsContributorsMaintainersConfigurationThis module supports the following system parameters:module_auto_update.exclude_patterns: comma-separated list of file
name patterns to ignore when computing addon checksums. Defaults to*.pyc,*.pyo,i18n/*.pot,i18n_extra/*.pot,static/*.
Filename patterns must be compatible with the pythonfnmatchfunction.In addition to the above pattern, .po files corresponding to languages that
are not installed in the Odoo database are ignored when computing checksums.UsageThe main method provided by this module isupgrade_changed_checksumonir.module.module. It runs a database upgrade for all installed
modules for which the hash has changed since the last successful
run of this method. On success it saves the hashes in the database.The first time this method is invoked after installing the module, it
runs an upgrade of all modules, because it has not saved the hashes yet.
This is by design, priviledging safety. Should this be an issue,
the method_save_installed_checksumscan be invoked in a situation
where one is sure all modules on disk are installed and up-to-date in the
database.An easy way to invoke this upgrade mechanism is by issuing the following
in an Odoo shell session:env['ir.module.module'].upgrade_changed_checksum()Known issues / RoadmapSince version2.0.0, some features have been deprecated.
When you upgrade from previous versions, these features will be kept for
backwards compatibility, but beware! They are buggy!If you install this addon from scratch, these features are disabled by
default.To force enabling or disabling the deprecated features, set a configuration
parameter calledmodule_auto_update.enable_deprecatedto either1or0. It is recommended that you disable them.Keep in mind that from this version, all upgrades are assumed to run in a
separate odoo instance, dedicated exclusively to upgrade Odoo.When migrating the addon to new versions, the deprecated features should be
removed. To make it simple all deprecated features are found in files
suffixed with_deprecated.Bug TrackerBugs are tracked onGitHub Issues.
