Before this commit we have reports that depict the status of a
project at a certain point in time, but we don't have any reports
representing the actual progress of the project in time.
This commit adds a burndown chart, this chart would help users see
the evolution of the project and determine whether it is on the
right track or not.
task-2458017
This report is too advanced and/or complex to be a single menuitem. Furthermore the model was a mess and a horn of plenty for bugs.
The class ProjectTaskHistoryCumulative inherits from the class ProjectTaskHistory, and create a view based on the same model.The orginal class defines a compute field 'end_date' which calls a compute method '_compute_end_date' that will either make a simple assignment or a SQL request if the columns is always opened or folded.
As ProjectTaskHistoryCumulative is declare with '_auto=False' the compute method will try to write on this table, which is obviously wrong because we are trying to write on a view.
This leads to erors when trying to edit a project stage like:
OperationalError: cannot update view "project_task_history_cumulative"
DETAIL: Views that do not select from a single table or view are not automatically updatable.
HINT: To enable updating the view, provide an INSTEAD OF UPDATE trigger or an unconditional ON UPDATE DO INSTEAD rule.
or when trying to delete a column which already contains some tasks.
So we removed this these models and view and replaced them by a simple favorite filter in the Tasks Reports
- created report/project_cumulative.py for model
project.task.history.cumulative that was in project.py
- moved project.project kanban view from project_dashboard.xml
to project_views.xml, which required moving some menuitems
as well so they are available while refering them in other files
- Preserved explicit 3rd-party copyright notices
- Explicit boilerplate should not be necessary - copyright law applies
automatically in all countries thanks to Berne Convention + WTO rules,
and a reference to the applicable license is clear enough.
