to ControlPanel/Search view refactoring.
The ControlPanel being now inside the DOM of client actions, those
existing widgets needed to be adapted (in the way they define if
and how they want a ControlPanel, and in the way the manipulate
their DOM as it slightly changed). Tests needed to be adapted as
well.

Before this commit, a client action was simply a subclass of Widget.
This is quite simple, but not really enough for the ActionManager. The
ActionManager needs to handle client actions in a different way that
view actions. Sometimes, it needs to check if a method exists before
calling it.
With this commit, we introduce a new abstraction: the AbstractAction
class, which defines a common API for all actions managed by the web
client.
Note that the API proposed in this commit is just the beginning. We will
introduce other methods in the future, to manage the focus, or the
scroll position, for example.
With the new client web from v9, we start the new action before to destroy the old one.
When we switch from Apps (store) to Update and vice-versa, iframe was not loaded correctly.
In case of the Apps widget, we are binding event of the new iframe during the start,
and when it is ready, we destroy the old ifram and so unbind the listener of 'message.apps'.
Using a uniq id, we ensure to bind new event, and only unbind old event during the destroy.
session.rpc should not be used anymore. The function '_rpc'
available on widgets should be used instead (with the correct
params).
Also, 'session' is no longer a widget attribute.
The RPC system was not completely satisfactory, we decided to prepare
the future and do it properly. This commit introduces the new rpc
system, which replace the previous new one. We now simply have a
method, this._rpc, which takes a dictionary of parameters. The idea is
that depending on the parameters, it is able to add correct default
value when necessary.
For situations where we don't have the this._rpc method, we can use the
rpc.query method, which takes the same arguments, but directly calls
ajax.rpc instead of triggering up some events.
This commit introduce a full redesign of all JS views. We started
basically from scratch. The goal was to unify all the various views
under a common framework, to make them testable, to make then usable in
different conditions (in studio, or in the frontend), and to make our
lives easier.
Some important points are:
- we introduced new coding guidelines (camelCase, 80 chars width, ...)
- we have a brand new testing framework (still QUnit based)
- kanban view moved to the web addon
- calendar view (formerly web_calender) moved to web as well
- the tree view was removed
- all new code should be documented
We hope that this code is the start of a new era for the Odoo web
client, we want to have a high quality codebase, well documented, well
tested, well designed.
Work done by the framework team: mostly aab, ged, chm, dmo, qsm
ir.needaction_mixin is not used anymore by the webclient.
From 9.0, the concept has changed: this feature is now
available in mail module, with the mail.thread mixin,
and message_neeadction field.
Remove all code handeling needaction bullet and
counter on ir.ui.menu, knowing that since 9.0
webclient does not display the counter anymore.
This code was, thus, useless and some RPC calls
were done for nothing, and adapt accounting
reconcialiation widget.
Now that the debug URL parameter can be equal to "assets", the session
debug variable has to be updated to not only be true or false. Now, its
value is false if the debug parameter is not specified in the url and
a the URL parameter string value otherwise (or 1 if the value is an
empty string).
Also modify all redirection which kept the debug mode to also keep
=assets. Use the $.param.querystring function.
Avoid duplicating web addon in enterprise by extracting a common basis.
Enterprise features stay in enterprise, but use that common basis.
Mainly:
- JS refactoring and linting
- Conversion of .sass into .less split into multiple files
- Templates cleaning and DOM simplification
- Re-generation of web.pot, and update of .po files
