Currently partners have a boolean field to choose whether to receive
notifications only in their Odoo inbox or to receive them in their inbox
and by email. This leads to several issues :
* if a customer is configured to not receive emails he will not receive
any notification on sales orders, leads, ... This is not clearly
indicated to the salesman and it is not easy to know how to change
that behavior
* if an user chooses to receive emails and does not use its inbox a lot
of notifications stay in Odoo. The user has to manually set them as
done to make them disappear which is redundant.
This commit changes that behavior. From now on customers will always
receive all notifications by email. Indeed Odoo is not a customer oriented
mailbox. Moreover sales orders or discussions on leads send to customers
should always be sent by email as it is the standard communication
mechanism. Users will be able to choose to receive notifications in Odoo
or by email. The choice is no longer inbox or inbox + email, but inbox
or email. Choosing one option or the other one depends on the way the
user wants to work.
Technically the field is moved on the users model and selection keys
are renamed. Notification process is modified
* notified_partner_ids contains as before specified recipients as well
as followers matching the subtype
* customers and users working with emails are notified. During that
process customers notifications are marked as done to be able to
track the email state without having needaction. Users notifications
are currently deleted as we do not track their email state.
The removal of partner field implies changes in various addons that
define partner data with this field set in the values.
Currently almost all mail tests run on mail.channel model. Indeed it is
the only model inheriting from mail.thread and mail.alias when having only
mail installed. However channel model have several specific features and
is not totally a standard mail.thread model. For example notification
recipients are computed a bit differently.
Since 4f9105a4ef mail module has a test
model allowing to perform tests on a very simple mail.thread-like model.
This commit make mail tests use this test model instead of mail.channel
everywhere it is possible. Channel model should be used only when tests
are channel-dependent.
This commit remove required alias on res.users model. It also removes the
inheritance of mail.alias.mixin. The field alias_id is kept and allow people
to use aliases on users if they want. However there is no default void alias
created for each user anymore.
Default from of mail.message does not use user alias anymore. Indeed this
creates issues with aliases not being correctly configured and can be
confusing compared to private channels. Using user aliases is therefore
now done manually instead of being a default behavior.
Mailing lists (mail.channel) should not send specific notification emails.
Indeed there can be a lot of recipients and customizing each email can
take time to compute. This leads to posting a message on a mail.channel
being very slow.
It is now possible for a model to customize the notification email
recipients computation. The first use is to ensure that mail.channel
encodes recipients using email_to instead of recipients_ids. This way
less processing is performed on notification emails.
This is a manual cherry-pick of commit d4a1eb4435
that was not forard ported. Mail has indeed evolved since 8.0 and its
forward port was not an easy task.
This commit also includes the fix of mail.channel recipients. All are now
considered as equal and receive a simple notification email. No distinction
is done between partners and users. The notification emails for channels
should be as simple as possible.
Mailing lists (mail.group) should not send specific notification emails.
Indeed there can be a lot of recipients and customizing each email can
take time to compute. This leads to posting a message on a mail.group
being very slow.
It is now possible for a model to customize the notification email
recipients computation. The first use is to ensure that mail.group
encodes recipients using email_to instead of recipients_ids. This way
less processing is performed on notification emails.
Main changes :
- mail.notification model is removed. People do not receive notifications
anymore. Instead two ways of following documents exist
- using a channel; messages will be displayed on the channel itself
in a near future commit
- following with its partner; messages will all be considered as
needaction, using a new m2m table. People should receive less
needaction messages by following less records by themselves.
There is no more read / unread state anymore. Instead only needaction
messages are considered. Todo (Favorites) messages still exist, and are
stores on a new m2m table instead of using decorated notifciations.
- the main filter for documents is not message_unread anymore, but
message_needaction. A lot of views and filters have been updated
accordingly.
- the vote feature has been removed
Some features from live_chat have been moved to the mail module :
- channels now have members, replacing followers;
- a decorated m2m is used to link channels and members. It stores the last
seen message on the channel for a specific partner;
- channels do not create menu entries anymore, because the
NewChatter will have its own display and use of channels;
- access rights have been updated accordingly, using members instead of
followers
model has been renamed to mail.channel to prepare the slack modeling.
In future commits the mail.group model will be merged with the channel
model from im_chat. The first move is to rename mail.group into
mail.channel to have a model that will unite both features.
During tests, some creation of user records would unnecessarily trigger
password reset or set a password, both of which would trigger password
hashing which takes some time (for good reasons).
Fix by:
* passing no_reset_password in YAML tests and some Python tests still
missing it (a number of Python tests already used it)
* removing passwords from YAML records as they're never necessary, the
test user records are not expected to ever log in
Some tests (e.g. mail) have expensive and significant DB setup for a
number of small and cheap tests. Using a TransactionCase, the DB setup
far dominates the tests themselves, by up to 10x (mail unit tests take
~130s on my machine, the tests themselves take ~15s).
The SavepointCase introduced here is an hybrid of SingleTransactionCase
and TransactionCase: it uses a single transaction for all tests in a
class, but each test case is isolated by a rollbacked savepoint. This
allows a common DB setup (via setUpClass) while keeping independent
tests.
TransactionCase should remain the primary test case superclass, but
SavepointCase can be a fair optimisation when setup costs far dominate.
Tests have been migrated to the new api to prepare the migration of the
mail module itself. Moreover tests have been cleaned: redundant tests
and unnecessary tests have been removed.
As the base test class in mail is used in other addons, other addons
have been updated :
- portal
- project
- portal_project
- website_project_issue
- sale
- purchase
Future commits will come with somes fixes for issues detected when cleaning
the tests.
A squashed merge is required as the conversion of the apiculture branch from
bzr to git was not correctly done. The git history contains irrelevant blobs
and commits. This branch brings a lot of changes and fixes, too many to list
exhaustively.
- New orm api, objects are now used instead of ids
- Environements to encapsulates cr uid context while maintaining backward compatibility
- Field compute attribute is a new object oriented way to define function fields
- Shared browse record cache
- New onchange protocol
- Optional copy flag on fields
- Documentation update
- Dead code cleanup
- Lots of fixes
Replaced some read by browse
Moved get_reply_to from mail_mail to mail_message
Hint: specifying email_from, reply_to help to enhance computation time
[REF] mail: cleaned some tests, renamed a file, moved mail_group tests into a dedicated file
