The previous code used to create its own args array
for the search_read method, replacing the one that
was originally given to it.
This lead to silent errors since positional arguments
to this function were completely ignored in the case
of search_read.
I took this commit as an opportunity to improve a
bit on the current state of these rpc helpers.
Namely, the basic args/kwargs priority is the following (top-to-bottom):
- kwargs defined in the rpc call
- kwargs defined in the kwargs key of the params kwarg of the rpc call
- positional arguments are passed as is
For read_group and search_read methods, the priority is the following:
- kwargs defined in the rpc call
- kwargs defined in the params kwarg to the rpc call
- kwargs defined in the kwargs key of the params kwarg of the rpc call
- positional arguments are passed as is
For the /web/dataset/search_read controller, only the params kwarg is
supported, resulting in the following priority:
- kwargs defined in the rpc call
- kwargs defined in the params kwarg to the rpc call
- positional arguments are passed as is
If both a kwargs and a positional arg is given for the same parameter,
it will be sent as is to the server which will crash with a typical
"got multiple values for keyword argument" TypeError. However, in the
MockServer however, we give priority to kwargs over args in this case.
Please note that I also chose to remove unnecessary default values so
that the ones actually used are the ones from the server, not the ones
that were duplicating those in the rpc js file.
Widgets which manipulates their dom in _renderEdit were left out
from the previous implementation since this processing was done
only once when the widget is rendered the first time. If the
widget regenerates a new input upon reset for example, then it
would lack the idForLabel.
When enterprise is installed, the rendering of these widgets on
extra small screens is different, thus breaking these tests. We
need to force the test to run on normal screens.
Since the new views, the editable list view lost some behaviors. These
behaviors were indeed implemented in the form controller/renderer but
as the new editable list view does not use an inline form view, these
behaviors had to be implemented in the basic controller/renderer.
For this to work, the list editable renderer had to be changed as it
was doing work that should be done by the controller.
The problem is even more complex because the x2m fields are using a
list renderer but not a list controller. So moving code from the
renderer to the controller obviously broke the x2m fields. Right now,
the problem is solved by catching renderer events and forwarding new
ones to the form controller (which handles the x2m specifically).
The initial goal of this commit was to share the validation of records
on save. Indeed, the fields were marked as invalid in the form view but
not in the list view. Also, before the new views, the editable list
view had different behaviors if they were used for a x2m field or not.
As these behaviors are making sense, this commit tries to restore them.
Basically, what we want is:
- When a record is saved (form view save or list view line leaving),
the invalid fields are marked (in red), the names of the related fields
are notified to the user and the record is not left.
- When a record is discarded (form view discard or list view discard),
the user is asked to confirm if the record is dirty before making the
record readonly.
- When a record is discarded, if the record is a new one, then the
record should be abandoned (removed as if never existed). In the form
view this induces to go back in the history and in the list view, to
remove a row.
- For x2m fields, the notification of invalid fields is not triggered
but the user is instead asked if he wants to discard the changes made
to the row (indeed, this replaces the list "Discard" button, as non
existent for x2m lists).
- ...
Saving, discarding, marking the fields as invalid and other behaviors
are thus now shared behavior of basic views.
The management of the dirty flag has also been moved to the model
as it was handle by the controller for the form view but by the
renderer for the list view. Now this flag is directly managed in the
basic model (the model can have changes thanks to the `_changes`
property but not be dirty (this is the case for creations)).
This change however created a problem. The view manager is currently
keeping asking if there are changes to discard at each action which
might lead to leave a dirty record (appswitcher / url change / ...).
It however did not discard anything as leaving if the user is ok with
it will lead to an implicit discard. However, as the view manager might
ask for this discard multiple times by second, the controller was
marking the record as not dirty the first time but without discarding
the changes. This is more complex to do now, as the dirty state is
part of the model and that the renderer should match the model data.
To solve this problem, the view manager now actually discard changes
explicitely when asked to. Even though this had been optimized to not
cause any rerender in some cases where it is not needed, this could
cause some performance decreasing. However, this makes some cases more
logical (opening the app switcher on a dirty form view then going back
to the form view by hitting the "go back" button left the form view
untouched although the user asked to discard it). This solution will
be improved with the view manager refactoring.
This commit is also making use of the `commitChanges` system which had
been implemented for HTML fields. Indeed, these fields cannot know
about all of their changes, so when hitting the save button, we asked
those fields to commit their value. Using this system is a great way
to make the `isValid` method of x2m fields synchronous. Indeed, before
this commit, the method was sometimes asking the user if he wants to
discard an invalid line before save. That case can be handled by the
x2m `commitChanges` method: we consider that saving the lines of x2m is
an operation that has to be done before considering the save, so we ask
all the x2m fields to do so at that time. Also, the system was broken
since a recent commit: we indeed protected the changes - save order
with a mutex but unfortunately, the `commitChanges` method was part of
the save and the changes it triggered were not able to be considered
because of this mutex. This had not been detected by tests as there is
not current way to test html fields.
The FieldTimezoneMismatch was redone, but an error was done after the
last code review. With this commit, we fix the mistake (a function is
properly called) and improve the test to make sure we catch such a
regression later.
Trash icon does not take account of the option on the tree tag
Before this fix: The delete option on the tree tag is not taken
into account in the widget
The basic model did not transfer field options to special data methods
from fields. This was mostly not an issue, except for the widgets that
actually need them, such as the status bar and the domain editor.
This was only visible when opening views with different view types,
but this is a problem in general. We should have a better mechanism to
help widgets fetching data, but for now, this is the best we can do.
hr_holiday was the only module that used a widget=toggle_boolean on a
button in a list view. That behaviour was implemented as a column
widget in the previous list view, and was not reimplemented in the new
views. The feature is useful, but this was not done properly: it is
better to use a widget on a field (that was the intent) instead of doing
a weird hack like it was done.
With this commit, we update hr_holidays to use the ToggleBoolean widget,
which is supposed to work on every views.
Also, we fix the toggleboolean widget (it was not properly rendering
tooltips, and changes were not saved in readonly list view).
Note that it as the side effect of being better from the point of rpcs:
before, the list view had to reload itself. Also, another advantage is
that models do not need to implement custom methods (such as
toggle_payslip_status) just to toggle a boolean...
When evaluating a context, we need to use the server format for dates,
because the context will ultimately be sent do the server. Also, moment
objects are not known by pyeval, so they simply cause a crash (for
example, see bank statements form view, edit it, click on 'add an item')
With this commit, we make sure that the evaluation context is correct,
with respect to dates (we use the toJSON method, because that is the way
we get the server compatible date)
In general, with the new views, we execute immediately and recursively
all onchanges, even from a x2many in a form view. It allows for nice
interactivity, for example, recomputing immediately a total or a tax in
a sale order when an order line changed.
However, we are used to treat x2manys in a slightly weird way: for
example, if you add a line in a one2many, then click elsewhere, most of
the time, it is validated. But if the line is 'incomplete' (I mean, if
a required field is not set), the line will not be validated, but be
automatically discarded. If it was dirty, a confirm dialog will open.
So, to keep in line with that semantic, we have decided that onchange
will just not be done until the line is 'valid'. This will avoid
trouble when someone add a line, it triggers some onchange which changes
some values in the form, then click somewhere else, the line is
discarded, but the changed values persist. Most of the time, it
probably won't be a problem, because another onchange will be triggered,
but it is some useless work anyway.
The '_render' function of field widgets can be called several
times in the widget's life cycle (each time its value changes).
The JournalDashboardGraph appends a new 'svg' to its the $el at
each rendering, so it must empty its $el at the beginning of each
rendering.
Before this fix, several graphs were displayed in the same kanban
card in the Sales dashboard when, e.g., the user changed the color
of the card.
... to clean up once the test is finished, because it doesn't
work.
The previous solution to clean up only deleted ace and require
from window, but doing this didn't force a reload of the libs for
a potential second test using ace (because the scripts were still
in the page). Trying to remove the scripts from the page doesn't
work either because the loadJS function uses an internal cache
to prevent from loading twice the same lib.
So if we want to have more than one test on ace, we can't clean up
the libs.
before this commit when toggling allday flag in calendar form view, it was
possible to have one day error.
The input datetime is wrong when the user don't use the datepicker widget
(insert date by keypress instead of click on datepicker)
sometimes, the value could be null (crash because try to clone false)

Since the views refactoring, modifiers were not properly handled
anymore (readonly/required not recomputed, use of readonly/required
of "python field" instead of "view field", ...). This commit tries to
implement a system which allows to handle the modifiers (re)computation
the same way for all the basic views.
For this to work, many specialized renderers behaviors have been moved
to the basic renderer so that more mechanisms are shared (especially by
the form renderer and the list editable renderer). The list editable
renderer is hugely impacted by this commit.
Here is a list of key changes:
- The basic renderer now has a `_renderFieldWidget` function which is
used without modification by the form and the list renderers.
- Modifiers have to be registered thanks to the basic renderer
`_registerModifiersData` function (this is done automatically for
fields by the `_renderFieldWidget` function for example).
- All instantiated widgets are accessible, organized by record, and
ordered in a special basic renderer variable.
- The code which resets the widgets of the form view and the code
which updates the row of a list editable view is now shared in the
basic renderer and now also automatically updates the DOM according
to the reevaluated modifiers.
- The last point has an huge impact on list editable renderer: all the
widgets have to be instantiated when editing a row (even readonly and
invisible ones) as they can be switched to editable/visible during
edition (after a modifiers update).
- `replace_element` and `readonly` options of `AbstractField` are
useless: widgets are now always replacing the list editable cells
in edition and the `readonly` widget mechanism is replaced by the
notion of 'focusable' widgets.
(see `AbstractField.getFocusableElement`)
- The 'tab' navigation mechanism is impacted by the previous point,
some code sharing have been done in basic renderer for this too.
- `AbstractField` does not care anymore of the 'required' status, this
is the view responsability to check that a required field has a set
value on save.
- Some list editable bug fixing (e.g. it was possible to edit multiple
rows at the same time, it was not possible to navigate towards the
previous field, crash on o2m add an item click, ...)
- The mockserver now properly simulates server modifiers computation.
- ...
Note: list editable style may be worse than before this commit but a
CSS update is coming in a few days.
When you try to empty a date or datetime field, you get a traceback
saying that 'clone' and 'isSame' are not functions.
This error occurs when you empty the field because the value is 'false'
and you cannot call 'clone' or 'isSame' on false.
To fix this, we ensure that value is not false before calling these
methods on it.
This bug has been introduced in rev: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/commit/c32724eae06c987e74a0600f1669696e499edc33
The 'mode' attribute can be used for x2many fields to force the
view mode. Before this rev., it was ignored and if a tree view
existed in the view description, it was selected by default.
This was mainly a problem in mobile as in this case, kanban views
are prefered, and the data_manager forces the mode to be kanban,
so the data was fetched according to the kanban view fields, but
later on the list view was instantiated instead of kanban by the
x2many field, so it crashed if both views didn't share the exact
same fields.
There were several issues with this widget, and the way the model
handles its requests (mainly the removal of values).
It crashed for instance on the product form view when the user
updated the routes field (field route_ids in tab inventory).
The client must receive the tzOffset to apply this on all hours.
To use the date picker we must change the date to apply the change
in the user's tzOffset, without this change the result is wrong.
For datetime widget we must change like it to avoid max stack error.
The server send the tzOffset, if it's undefined, by default the client
use the browser time offset.
Every test are change to use tzOffset.
A test is added in calendar to use the click by position for the
fullcalendar lib. This test create and drag and drop an event to check
timezone error and error when we use default value in the context.
Use formating date like 2026-04-04T08:00:00Z instead of 2026-04-04 08:00:00
is important for phantomjs, because it's crash without information if the
formating is not the standard format.
For the parsing, when the client receive a server date the date is utc
formating but when it's parsed from the client is in the user's timezone
