Currently, auto_install is triggered when all dependencies get installed, but there are cases where one would want such trigger on only a subset thereof. e.g. we want `website_sale_dashboard` to auto-install when `website_sale` is installed. Currently, it requires `web_dashboard` to also be auto-installed otherwise `website_sale_dashboard` would "wait" for both dependencies to be explicitly installed before the auto-install triggers. That's despite `web_dashboard` not being very useful on its own. More generally this is an issue with technical modules which need to be marked as auto_install so as not to block e.g. bridge modules from automatically installing. This change allows setting `auto_install` to a subset of `depends`: * if auto_install is set to `False`, the module does not get automatically installed (no change in semantics) * if auto_install is set to `True`, the module gets automatically installed if and only if all its dependencies are installed (also no change in semantics) * if auto_install is set to a list of dependencies, the module will be installed when all *these* dependencies are installed, other dependencies (excluded from auto_install) will be installed alongside as a consequence * auto_install can be set to an empty list, in this case the module will always be automatically installed regardless of its dependencies (and will force their installation). So after this change, `web_dashboard`'s auto_install can be set to `False` (such that it's not installed if no module defining dashboards is installed) and `website_sale_dashboard`'s manifest can be edited to: 'auto_install': ['website_sale'] possibilities: # no automatic installation 'depends': ['a', 'b'], 'auto_install': False # automatic installation if both a and b are installed 'depends': ['a', 'b'], 'auto_install': True # automatic installation if both a and b are installed (explicit) 'depends': ['a', 'b'], 'auto_install': ['a', 'b'] # automatic installation if b is installed, a will get forcefully # installed if it isn't yet 'depends': ['a', 'b'], 'auto_install': ['b'] # always automatically installed, will cause the installation of # its dependencies even if they're not marked explicitly 'depends': ['a', 'b'], 'auto_install': [] Task 1851328 closes odoo/odoo#29431 Signed-off-by: Xavier Morel (xmo) <xmo@odoo.com>
