The mock server had to be modified in order to test this behavior
since it used to throw an error for invalid ids, while the actual
server just ignores it and continues forth with the other ids.
Previously, the button was completely invisible when no icon
was given, which is a regression from saas-15 where the string
attribute is used to write the button label.
Field widgets must format and parse values according to the widget
type, not to the field type. For example, if a monetary field is
inserted in a form view with widget="float", the field's value must
be formatted with the float formatter, not the montetary one. This
wasn't the case before this rev.
This option hadn't been implemented in the new views.
It allows to display informative explanations as tooltips on column over.
It can be set on a many2one field in the kanban view, e.g.:
```<field name="stage_id" options='{"group_by_tooltip":
{"<tooltipFieldOnStageModel>": "<ABeautifulTitle>"}
}'/>
```
An extra RPC needs to be done on the many2one relation to fetch these additional
fields and the data are stored in the datapoint under the key `tooltipData`.
Since commit ebd17217c4, values of readonly fields inside x2many
fields weren't sent for onchanges, whereas they should. This was
for example an issue on the stock.picking form view (which is in
state 'draft' by default). If the user added a stock.move, the
state field on the move wasn't sent for the onchange, and thus the
state field on the picking was set to false.
When the user duplicated a record 'A', and deleted the new record
'A (copy)' directly, the wrong record was deleted: 'A' was deleted
instead of 'A (copy)', because de id of 'A' was bound to the delete
handler, and it wasn't updated after the duplication.
Also correctly updates the record's offset after the deletion, so
that it doesn't produce a warning when deleting the last record of
the dataset.
'id' is a particular field that should not be considered like other
integer fields. For instance, in the evalContext, its value should
not fallback to 0 if it is false. This would break domains in attrs
like ['id', '=', False], which is supposed to be true on new (not
saved yet) records.
This was for example the case in the Product form view: go to Sales
Orders form view, add a line, on the product field choose 'Create
and Edit', try to save the product -> error: field Product Template
is required but not set (actually it is invisible), as its required
modifier says ['id', '!=', False], which was always the case.
Ultimately, it seems that sending the value of readonly fields
when saving is not such a good idea. Suppose that there is a
computed field displayed as readonly in a form view. This field is
computed from other records, e.g. from a one2many field which is
editable in the form view. Finally, the inverse function of the
computed field creates the one2many records. If the user adds some
records to the one2many, then saves, the readonly computed field's
value is sent to the server as well, and thus the inverse function
is executed, which isn't what we want.
This commit essentially reverts 0494d61274, except that we now take
into account the readonly modifier to determine whether or not a
value is sent to the server, and not only the readonly attribute of
the field (which can be seen as a default). Before rev. 0494d61274,
we made a difference between write and create RPCs, for an unclear
reason. We don't do that anymore: readonly fields are never sent to
the server (same behavior as before the new views).
A problem occured with a required Many2One inside an X2Many (e.g.
order_line field in sale.order form view). If the user clicked on
'Add an item' to add a row, then typed some text in the Many2One,
then clicked on 'Create ...' to quick create a new product, and
then directly clicked on 'Add an item' to add another row (before
the name_create returned), the first row was discarded.
This was because before the name_create returns, the Many2one still
has no value, and as it is required, the row was considered invalid
and then discarded.
This rev. ensures to wait for the name_create to return before
trying to save the row and to create a new one.
The ModelFieldSelector keeps an internal cache for the fields_get.
This cache needs to be cleared in the tests environment because
a model with the same name may be defined several times accross the
tests modules, but they may contain different fields.
This could also be a problem with studio: when a field is created,
the ModelFieldSelector cache must be cleared as well (in addition
to the data_manager one).
We thus introduce a new 'clear_cache' event on core.bus. When
triggered, the ModelFieldSelector and the data_manager clear their
respective cache.
We use this event in the test environment to ensure that the cache
is cleared at the end of each test using a mockEnvironment. This
rev. also fixes an infinite loop in the override of destroy() in
the mockEnvironment, which occured when both session and config
were specified in the params.
When the root node of the arch has attribute 'create' set to '0',
the generated DOM element must have classname 'o_cannot_create'.
This is used to correctly display the nocontent helper (when there
is no record).
Before this rev., the helper indicated that the user can click on
'Create' to create a new record, even if the create action was
disabled. This was for example the case in Point of Sale > Orders.
The problem occurred in form views with a many2one field, when the
user reproduced the following steps:
- type some text in the many2one
- click on 'Create ...' in the many2one dropdown to quick create
(name_create RPC) the record
- before the name_create returns, click on 'Save'.
When this happened, the record was saved before the many2one was
updated with its new value. So the record was incorrectly saved,
and the view was again dirty as soon as the name_create returned,
even if it was in 'readonly'. So after saving, a 'Changes will be
discarded' dialog opened when the user tried to leave the form.
We fix this issue by making the controller wait for the name_create
to return, and for the many2one to update its value, before saving.
This issue could also occur in list views.
The autofocus worked fine when switching from 'readonly' to 'edit',
but not when clicking on 'Create' from the multi-record view. This
was because in this case, we were trying to focus the field while
the view wasn't in the DOM yet. This rev. ensures that we wait for
the view to be appended to the DOM before trying to set the focus
on the default field.
Also ensures that the first visible field is correctly focused.
Before this rev., if the first field was invisible (or simply
not focusable), no field was focused.

The 'Add an item' button of one2many editable lists is deactivated
once clicked (since rev. f9a1241) to prevent concurrent record
creation. It is re-activated when the record has been created.
Unfortunately, it might happen that the record is actually not
created, so in this case the button is never re-activated.
This happens for example on the customer invoice form view, if
the user tries to add a line before selecting a partner.
This function should return a deferred, as indicated in the
docstring. However, in some cases, it doesn't. It then crashed
as the FieldX2Many tries to call done() on undefined.
This happens for instance on the customer invoice form view:
create a new record, select a partner, add a line, select a
product, directly click on the invoice date field (this will
trigger an onchange which will totally override the value of the
one2many). The FielX2Many calls setRowMode to switch the edited
row back to readonly, but this row doesn't exist anymore as the
one2many value has been overriden by the onchange, so setRowMode
wrongly returns nothing, and it crashes.
Suppose that a default_get returns the value [[6, 0, [1]] for an
x2many field (i.e. put id 1 in the relation). A read is performed
to fetch record of the comodel whose id is 1. Suppose that there
is another x2many field of the comodel. This x2many has to be
fetched (if not empty), and processed by the BasicModel (i.e. a
dataPoint must be created for it) as well.
Before this rev., the second x2many wasn't fetched nor processed,
and it produced a traceback for example in Expenses app, when
clicking on 'Submit to manager' from an expense form view.
Before this fix, if the start field is readonly, the user could not create
an event. With this commit, it is also ensured that the context sends the
right default values to the view
Previously, when an update operation was performed, the list of
ids in the x2many field was emptied beforehand.
It kinda worked in lots of cases where one would expect it to
fail because in thoses cases the widgets send link_to commands
along with the update one, thus re-adding the removed line.
Now the behavior is more consistent accross the board. We start
with the current list of ids and apply the requested changes.
Otherwise some changes can create rpc errors that are silently caught
and never seen as long as, out of (un)luck, the end result is the same.
Tests which need to create a server error can just simulate it using
the mockRPC mechanism.
When the user writes something in a Many2One input, after a short
delay, a name_search RPC is done with the value written in the
input, and results are displayed in a dropdown. Then, if the user
clicks on the input, the dropdown closes. If he clicks again, it
should do again a name_search RPC with the value of the input.
Before this rev., it was doing it with the empty string.
Suppose that we have a many2one which is set (has a value) in
a form view. Before this rev., if the user unset the value (by
erasing the input content in edit mode), and then reset the same
value, the input remained empty, and the old value wasn't actually
reset.
When creating a new record where the ´domain´ widget is set in the view
with an associated model but this model field has no value, an rpc
(search_count) was done on an unknown model, that causes a traceback.
To avoid this, the rpc is not done if the model is not set.
Keys 'graph_mode', 'graph_measure' and 'graph_groupbys' can be
specified in the context and must be used by the graph view to
determine the default mode, meadure and groupbys. Before this rev.,
those keys were simply ignored.
In some cases, the parentID was not properly set, which is a problem
when we need to evaluate the parent in a context.
Note: I also added a better error explanation in the mock server, to
make it better for the developper to see what is wrong.
In this commit, we improve the behaviour of quick creation in grouped kanban views. The issue was that the quick create widget was removed when the user click somewhere else, even if the user added some text. For example, the problem could be seen in the kanban view for the tasks.
In this commit, we simply keep it around if there is a non empty text.
Clicking multiple times on 'Create' (in main list views) or 'Add an
item' (in o2m lists) might create invalid rows (i.e. rows with
required fields unset).
Creating a new record requires two sequential RPCs: a default_get
and an onchange (only if there is an onchange of one of the
record's field). When clicking twice to create a new record, that
sequence of RPCs is done twice in parallel, after unselecting the
current row (i.e. saving it if it is valid). However, in both
cases, there is no line to unselect yet (as both operations are
done basically simultaneously). When the first onchange returns,
a first new record is added to the list. When the second returns,
the second one is added and takes the edition, leaving the first
one, invalid, in the list.
This rev. ensures this doesn't happen by preventing concurrent
record creation.
... before saving a line.
Suppose that we have an editable list with one required field
(e.g. many2one) with an onchange. We add a record and select a value
for the many2one. Before the onchange returns, we click again on
'Add an item'. If we don't wait for the onchange to return before
unselecting the row (i.e. before saving it), a confirm dialog asking
if the changes can be discarded opens, because the line isn't valid
yet. This could easily be reproduced on the sale_order form view,
with some throttling.
This rev. ensures that we wait for the onchange to return before
saving the line, and thus before creating a new line.
In a slightly too naive way, we apparently tried to improve the
parse_float method while rewriting the new views. This was done by
using a regexp to match all occurences of a thousand separator.
The way the regexp was built was fine, until the thousand separator is a
'.', which, if used as a regexp, matches all characters. Also, sadly,
'.' is not so rare as a thousand separator...
When a ´default_order´ is set on an embedded view for a x2many field,
the sort was only applied server-side, after saving the record. After
adding a record in a x2many, the records were thus not correctly sorted.
We reintroduce here the client-side sort after the x2many modification.
With the new views, the attribute autocomplete on input was no
longer supported. We simply reintroduce its support in this commit.
The basic attribute values are 'on' and 'off' but one may want to use a
random string.
Note that an input with type='password' is a special case: the autocomplete
attribute should always be set to 'new-password' to remove autocompletion
(autocomplete='off' doesn't actually remove the autocompletion).
When clicking on 'Save & New' in the form view dialog, a new default record
is created. The parent was not correctly set in this record, which causes an
error if `parent` was used in context.
Add support for value 'save' to attribute 'special' for buttons in
form view. This is useful for form views in dialogs. When clicked,
it saves the form view and closes the dialog (the default 'Save'
button doesn't close the dialog). Without this, the only way to
achieve that was to define a dummy python method and call it with
<button type="object" name="dummy_method"/>.
In view dialogs (e.g. click on the external button of a many2one
in edit mode), the attribute $buttons of the form controller is
undefined (the buttons are rendered by the dialog directly). The
code that (de)activate the buttons to prevent concurrent clicks
made the assumption that $buttons exist, so it crashed when it
doesn't.
For example: open a draft quotation, click on 'Confirm sale',
before this rev., the record was reloaded twice (each RPC done to
load the data was duplicated). This was actually tested, but the
tests didn't mock well the behavior of the ViewManager, so they
couldn't detect that those RPCs were done twice.
Suppose that there is a many2many list (non editable) in a form
view. When one of the many2many subrecords is edited (from the
form view in a dialog), it is saved directly when the user clicks
on 'Save' in the dialog.
Before this rev., if the user clicked on 'Save' in the main form
view after editing a m2m subrecord, a 'write' RPC was done, whereas
there were nothing left to save (as the subrecord had already been
saved).
Suppose that we have a form view with a one2many list (non
editable) containing a record. In edit mode, the user clicks on
that record to edit it in a form view (in a dialog). In this form
view, there is an x2many field that isn't in the list. Before this
rev., it crashed when the user clicked on 'Save' in the dialog
after editing the value of the x2many.
This was because the basic model didn't use the correct fieldsInfo
in that case (it use the fieldsInfo of the list view instead of the
one of the form view, and the x2many field isn't in the list).
Also ensures that the record is correctly saved even if editing the
x2many is the only change done, as this wasn't the case before.
