Purpose
=======
The method _name_search and _search add support to search as another user.
All the overrides of name_search and search redefine the behavior of the search.
This bring inconsistencies as the result of a call to _name_search and name_search
could differ on certain modules, which is not acceptable.
Specification
=============
Example:
~~~~~~~~
If the name_search method is overridden to search also on the driver name,
then calling name_search with a label 'JF' will return all the cars with a name containing
'JF' or all the cars with a driver name containing 'JF'. Let's say that we have a ir.rule
preventing a user to read the cars of another company. Then the call to name search only returns
the cars satisfying the previous condition AND belonging to his company.
Now, we want to overpass this constraint. We call _name_search with the attribute name_get_uid=1.
Then the call to _name_search returns all the cars from all the companies with a name like 'JF',
but nothing is done about the driver_name.
Example of wrong search redefinition on a model
-----------------------------------------------
@api.model
def name_search(self, name, args=None, operator='ilike', limit=100):
domain = args or []
domain = expression.AND([domain, [('name', 'ilike', name)]])
partners = self.env['res.partner'].search([('name', operator, name)])
if partners and name:
domain = expression.OR([domain, ['|', ('driver_id', 'in', partners.ids), ('driver_id', '=', False)]])
rec = self.search(domain, limit=limit)
return rec.name_get()
Example of correct search redefinition on a model
-------------------------------------------------
@api.model
def _name_search(self, name, args=None, operator='ilike', limit=100, name_get_uid=None):
domain = args or []
domain = expression.AND([domain, [('name', operator, name)]])
partner_ids = self.env['res.partner']._search([('name', operator, name)], access_rights_uid=name_get_uid)
if partner_ids:
domain = expression.OR([domain, ['|', ('driver_id', 'in', partner_ids), ('driver_id', '=', False)]])
rec = self._search(domain, limit=limit, access_rights_uid=name_get_uid)
return self.browse(rec).name_get()
The same logic should be applied on the overrides of the search method.
* remove references to basestring & unicode (use relevant pycompat
helpers)
* remove some str calls (either entirely or replaced by relevant
helper, either text or native)
* use better API to avoid unnecessary conversions
* remove some XML declarations in views
In Python 3:
* various builtins and dict methods were changed to return
view/iterable objects rather than lists
* and the separate Python 2 view/iterable builtins and methods were
removed altogether
This is problematic when using these items as list (which the happens
repeatedly in Odoo), but more viciously when iterating *multiple times*
over them (which also happens, which I've messed up multiple times while
writing this, and which is a pain to debug even when you've just created
the issue).
Convert all code using these to semantics-matching cross-version
helper functions to get the LCD behaviour between P2 and P3, and
forbid the builtins via lint.
issue #8530
Migration of all python code, mostly withtout chagnes. And adapting
xml files to guidelines.
On calendar.py, some changes have been perform to make the migration works :
- `_compute` method has been split into `_compute_dates`, `_compute_attendee` and `_compute_display_time`.
- remove unused method `onchange_partner_ids`, `check_partners_email`
- make `compute_rule_string` use a cache record instead of a value
dict to avoid crashes
- remove `new_invitation_token` method, and make it a default value on attendee creation
- add a default value on `day` field, otherwise the "Please select a
proper day of the month" exception is raised during the onchange
