*board,crm
Before this rev., the dashboard panel (e.g. of the sales team
dashboard) wasn't displayed when there were no record to display,
whereas it should. Only the nocontent helper was displayed.
This was a bug introduced with the new view: the views' controller
was in charge to display the renderer (if there were data to
display) xor the nocontent helper. As the dashboard panel was
rendered by the renderer, it couldn't be displayed alongside the
nocontent helper.
This rev. moves this logic to the renderer. So now, the controller
always contains the renderer, which decides what to render (the
data or the nocontent helper). This way, the dashboards can display
their panel and the nocontent helper.
With the new JS test framework, we had experimented with an autodestroy
feature, meaning that all views/widgets are automatically destroyed
after a while. By default, it was 50ms, because we could not hook some
code to run after the end of the current test.
For various reasons, this was not a good idea: some side effects, such
as modifications of the session or of the DOM (with modals) could
interfere with other tests. This commit disable the feature.
From now on, we will have to destroy each widgets created in a test.
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
