The traceback was caused by an occurence of this.dataset, which was left
out in the new views refactoring (this.dataset has been replaced by
this.record).
This commit introduces the 'rainbowification' feature to the web client
(and to some affected addons). This feature is essentially a way to
display a nice friendly message when some business event happens. For
example, a encouraging message is displayed when the user clear her/his
inbox, or when a salesman closes a deal.
The mechanism currently only displays a 'rainbowman', but could be
extended later to add other kind of animation.
There are a few different ways to display a 'rainbowman':
- any JS code can simply trigger_up an event ('show_effect') with some
options: for example
this.trigger_up('show_effect', {
type: 'rainbow_man',
fadeout: 'no',
message: $done,
click_close: false,
});
- an action returned by the server can have an 'effect' key, with some
options
- the do_execute_action method accepts a 'effect' option. This is
useful when one wants to specify a rainbow on an action button in a
form view

In the list controller, some code to determine the active domain to
export was causing a crash. It was easy to see: just select all records
in a list view, then click on 'Export' in the sidebar.
Note that the data_export code is still quite old, and did evolve
organically. It does not conform to our new design principles, in
particular, the way component should communicate. But this is a task for
another day.
