With this commit, the menu item for editing a view in debug mode has been
changed.
Instead of "Edit List View", it is now "Edit View: List".
That way, the code is shorter, generic, and translatable.
Exception to above changes: search view, which is unchanged
(it remains "Edit Searchview")
Former code of list controller used the searchView of its parent,
which was the ViewManager. However, this has been changed by rev.
32b8cec53, where the ViewManager was removed, and the list
controller now has the reference of the searchView, so this code
had to be adapted. Tests have been adapted accordingly as well.
This rev. is the first part (out of 3) of the refactoring of the
ActionManager and ViewManager layer of the webclient.
The main changes are:
- there is no ViewManager anymore, its work is now handled by the
ActionManager itself, but isolated in a specific file ; this
eases a lot of things, as the breadcrumbs handling for example.
- the ActionManager code is converted to the new coding principles
and guidelines ; mainly, children widgets communicate with it by
triggering events up, and not by function calls anymore.
- the ActionManager layer is now testable, and a lot of tests have
already been written.
- the code in other addons has been adapted consequently.
What's coming next:
- introduce the 'AbstractAction' Widget, and make client actions
and view controllers inherit from it ; this widget will
implement a common API that could be used uniformly by the
ActionManager (e.g. restore(), canBeLeft(), renderButtons(),
getTitle()...).
- move the ControlPanel handling from the ActionManager to the
AbstractAction.
This rev. makes the Rainbowman stop listening to event
'clear_uncommitted_changes' on core.bus, as this event is about to
be removed (in a next commit). It was using it to destroy itself
when such an event was triggered (basically, when the current view
was left).
Instead, we removed the option 'click_close' as, when set to true,
which was the default, the rainbowman was destroyed as soon as the
user clicked outside the raibowman.
A domain could contain the key `parent` (in an embedded subview), like:
domain="[('display_name', '=', parent.display_name)]")
This is currently not handled by the DomainSelector.
This will probably be handled in a future version but for this stable version,
this case that triggered an error is now catched and an error message is
displayed in the widget.
This was causing a traceback when opening a domain with `parent` in the edition
of a subview with Studio.
In the FieldSelector, after clearing the chain and closing the popover,
the very first page was removed from the widget `pages`. This was causing
issue when trying to select a new field again.
This commit ensures that the first page is not sliced.
Since the new views, the field parsing for m2o returns an object with
id and display_name. If the given value to parse is a string, it is
supposed that this is an ID. This was breaking the domain selector
widget which should allow strings as name-strings of m2o values.
Before this commit, and since the combination of new views + datepicker
library update, the datepicker opened at the top left of the window
when using it in a domain selector. It also could not be used at all.
This was because the current scenario occured:
1) Click on the datepicker
2) The datepicker triggers that it has changed on opening
3) The whole domain selector is rerendered
4) The datepicker computes where it should open... on basis of the
old destroyed domain selector
As the main cause of the problem here was the (2), this commit changes
the datepicker odoo widget to only notifies that it has changed when it
has really changed.
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.
