Purpose
=======
Allow the user to select the allowed companies for which he wants to see records
on top of selecting his current company.
It is confusing for users to see the records from the company he is connected to
and the records of the children companies.
Instead of using the hierarchy of companies to access records across companies,
the user can now select (from his set of allowed companies) the companies for
which he wants to access records.
/!\ This means that the user will interact with records from company A when in
company B.
Example: a SO has been created and confirmed in A. When in B, I create the
invoice from it.
Specifications
==============
1/ Deprecate the parent/children hierarchy on the res.company model. The fields are
kept on the res.company model to ensure the retro-compatibility, but won't be used
accross the standard code anymore. The only functional usage for this mechanism
was to allow to see records from several companies by creating a virtual parent
company, which will be possible with the new mechanism.
2/ By default, a user will only see the records of the company he is connected
to (or records without a company). (It is still editable by the user if needed).
For that, put this information in the user context, to allow having different
configurations on different browser tabs. Instead of having domains like
['|',
('company_id', '=', False),
('company_id', 'child_of', user.company_id.id)]
you'll have something like
['|',
('company_id', '=', False),
('company_id', 'in', company_ids)]
Note that the 'company_ids' is a value that is passed in the evaluation
context on the record rule, as we already have user, or time.
company_ids is a list of the ids of all the enabled companies in the
user's context.
3/ Out of the generic improvements brought by this task, this will illustrate
issues that could exist since several versions. For example, it should not be
possible to create a scrap order for the company A with a package of the company
B, or it should not be possible to create an invoice on the company A with
payment terms from the company B. Before the version 12.0, it was easy to
encounter this kind of issues as the admin was the SUPERUSER_ID. A positive side
effect of the fact that the SUPERUSER_ID has become an inactive user was to
make it more difficult to introduce mismatch on the records, but haven't solved
the issue, as it was still possible to do it with parent companies
configuration. Some of these issues have been fixed in this commit, but all the
business flows should be re-tested to check if an ir.rule should be introduced
(eg: a multi company rule for stock.quand.package), if the company of a record
is correctly transfered to another record created from the first record (eg:
From a SO, create an invoice and a payment, the company of the sales order
should be transfered on the invoice and the payment, even if the company of the
sales order is A and I'm logged into the company B with the company A enabled.
4/ Currently, if I click on a button on a notification email (example 'View
Task'), I face a traceback if I'm not logged into the company of the record.
Now, if you click on a button and if you have access to the record, the correct
company will be automatically set.
5/ If I display a kanban view with several records from several companies (and
an image), all the images should be displayed.
6/ Currently if you copy paste an url, this will crash if you're not in the
correct company. This won't be fixed because it's quite impossible to do it in
a clean way. This task brings a workaround. Copy/Paste -> Traceback -> Log into
the correct company, re-copy/paste -> Ok.
7/ 2 property methods have been added on the environment to retrieve the company
on which the user is logged in and the companies the user enabled, on a specific
tab.
That way, when creating a record, instead of doing
default=lambda self: self.env.user.company_id
do
default=lambda self: self.env.company_id
On the other hand, to retrieve the enabled companies, do
companies = self.env.company_ids
8/ Modify the Company Switcher widget to allow to log into another company
WITHOUT writing on the res.users (and thus bringing cache invalidation issues
and so on). Also allow to enable several companies and see records from several
companies, and independantly of the other browser's tabs.
9/ When focusing on a tab, save the current company configuration on the local
storage. That way, when doing 'CTRL+T' or a middle click, the context is
propagated to the new tab.
10/ Improve the error message in case of multi company access errors. Now, when
the user is in debug mode, display the related names of the records and the name
of the user who brings the issue.
11/ Remove the context erasing when writing on a res.users
This is probably coming from the migration to new API of the base module.
The context was not propagated at this moment, which was a common mistake at
that time. When migrating the module, probably by using the 'black box' method,
as the context was not propagated, it was erased on the new version. This is
now an issue because the context (i.e. the enabled companies) was erased when
writing on a res.users, leading to tracebacks.
See: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/commit/7eab8e26d3d46c53f4be924d6a34e80a66e74960#diff-4c2e738ee8f64f11806c889ea097b5e7R624
12/ Fix the crash manager on redirect warnings. The issue is the following
- Create an invoice on a company without a configured CoA.
- Set a partner
- On the onchange_partner_id, a redirect warning is raised to propose you
to configure a CoA
- Click on 'Go to the configuration panel'
- A generic warning says something like 'Do you want to discard your changes?'
- Click on yes, the page refreshes, but not on the redirect action.
Now, set correctly the action on the hash, and reload instead. The breadcrumb is
lost for example, but you reach the correct action at least.
13/ Introduce a res.group to enable/disable the multi company per tab
feature.
14/ To help the users to know which tab is in which company, add the
possibility to have a favicon per company. When creating a company,
the classical 'O' icon is colored by default in a random color.
15/ Remove the company switcher on the frontend. This was mainly there
to allow a user to swicth to the company linked to the website.
This behavior is now transparent to the user. If the website A is
activated, then the company set on the context is the company of the
website.
16/ Deprecated the _company_default_get method on the res.company
model. Remove the method _get_company on the res.users model.
17/ Add 'allowed_company_ids' and 'current_company_id' on the pyeval
context. You can now use those variables on domains in the views to
access directly to the activated company.ies on the current tab.

Creating field indexes might not always be possible. For instance,
adding an index on an existing Char/Text field will fail if the column
contains values longer than 8192 bytes (PostgreSQL limit for BTrees).
Instead of failing miserably during the schema modification, simply log
the problem and continue.

In the case of attachment_ids, comodel._fields[inverse] can be res_id,
an integer field. Such fields do not have a default ondelete attribute.

This is the first step to a more comprehensive handling of company-dependent
fields which are ir_properties.
With model-specific access rights, users should be able to read/update a
company-dependent field no matter their access rights on ir_property.
Before this commit, a user having access to res.partner, but not to ir.property
couldn't write on property_account_receivable/payable just because he couldn't
write the corresponding ir.property. After this commit, he can.

When an access error bubbles through a related field (aka the user
doesn't have access to the delegate or the delegate's field), append
the "intermediate step" so that it's easier to understand e.g. that
the access error to a partner really comes from accessing a user or
somesuch.
On a field created through a _inherits, the fields on the child model did not
benefit from the parent _modules information.
If two models are created in module base
class Partner(models.Model):
_name = 'res.partner'
class User(models.Model):
_inherits = {'res.partner': 'partner_id'}
partner_id = fields.Many2one('res.partner')
and a second module auth_signup adds a field on the parent model
class ResPartner(models.Model):
_inherit = 'res.partner'
signup_token = fields.Char()
Both res.users and res.partner should have an ir.model.data create
base_setup.field_res_partner__signup_token was correctly created but
base_setup.field_res_users__signup_token was not created
The reason is was, in the call to _reflect_model, since 574f4c3deb, the
creation of ir.model.data is based on the field._modules
However, the field res.partner.signup_token did not propagate its _modules value
to the related field res.users.signup_token
With this patch, both ir.model.data are created.
This allow a proper uninstallation of fields as well as translation.
Use `env.registry` instead of `env` to get the comodel as a class instead of an
instance, which saves one call to `_browse` each time we access a relational
field. This saves time because of the cost of `object.__new__` and prefetch
update in `_browse`.
The definition of `attachment_ids` on model `email_template.preview` is wrong,
because its table/columns refer to the model `mail.template`. As the field is
only used to preview a result in a wizard form, it does not need to be stored.

- Set a TZ on the user different from UTC
- Export a record containing a datetime, e.g. the Order Date of a SO
- Import the file
The Order Date is changed on the record.
The data export is always in UTC, but the data import takes into account
the user TZ, which explains the difference.
There is no good way of solving this in stable. We have 3 choices:
1. Do nothing: the flow export then import the same data is broken, as
explained above.
2. Export in the user TZ: if the file is imported in a third-party
software, we break the flow.
3. Import in UTC: if the file is generated from a third-party software,
we break the flow.
Whatever the choice is, we either break a flow or keep an inconsistent
behavior. We choose option 2, assuming that in most cases the user wants
to export the data in his TZ, therefore keeping the values displayed. We
only do it in v12 in order to mitigate the impact on existing
installations. A proper fix should be discussed for v13.

Odoo no longer supports python 2, thus some of these helpers can and
have been replaced by python 3 built-ins, therefore there is no need for
them to stay defined.
The removed helpers are:
* izip, imap and ifilter
* unichr, text_type
* implements_to_string, implements_iterator
* string_types, integer_types
* to_native
The python 2 shims have also been removed, and only the python 3 helpers
have been kept, because they can still be usable (i.e. accepting
both bytes and str for functions that can only accept one of the two)
[REM] pyjsparser: remove PY3 shims
They're no longer necessary as Odoo doesn't officially support python 2
anymore.
