I am using Odoo v12 on Windows.
I have followed the steps in HowTo to create a module Saadoodoo. My problem is that I have failed to make this new module appear on the Odoo module list.
I am using the below command
python.exe odoo-bin" -d SaadoIncLocal -i Saadoodoo --addons-path D:\PythonDev\Odoo
It seems Odoo simply ignores the commands and starts the server normally, as the module does not appear on the apps list (even when selecting developer mode).
I thought the issue may be in the addon path, so I added the module under the default Odoo path along with Odoo modules in C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 12.0\server\odoo\addons and did an apps update on Odoo interface but still problem persists. Starting and stopping the server does not help either.
What am I doing wrong?
After adding new module in the addons_path, you have to turn on debug/developer mode, goto Apps > Update modules list, remove Apps filter from search and search your module.
Don't forget to add __manifest__.py with proper data, which is important for odoo addons.
If still having problem, you can use scaffold option of odoo-bin to create empty module.
python.exe odoo-bin scaffold my_module
This is will create a empty module with all the necessary skeleton files in the current working directory, you can just move it to addons folder, rename the variables accordingly and files and you are good to go.
There could be 2 Reasons that you are not able to see the module :-
1. You have not updated the database
Two ways to update the database :-
1.1 from Terminal use this command to update the module and database
./odoo-bin -c debian/odoo.conf -d {NAME_OF_ODOO_DATABASE} -u {NAME_OF_THE_NEW_MODULE}
1.2. From frontend
By activating the developer mode by going to Setting --> under the developer tools option --> Activate the developer mode
Now go to app list and select the option update app list.
2. You have not configured the addons path in the debian/odoo.conf file
Make sure that you have added the addons_path of the custom-addons folder in odoo.conf file inside debian folder
why don't you simply use these commands
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 12.0\server\odoo\addons
C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 12.0\python\python.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 12.0\server\odoo-bin scaffold my_module --config C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 12.0\server\odoo.conf
Oh once your module is ready, go to the Odoo directory in windows, navigate to custom-addons and you will see a list of all the available modules. paste your new module in there. Now open the Odoo again, go to Apps, then update module list. Then search for your app in the app list. Make sure the developer mode is activated
Go to your odoo-version folder (ex: cd /home-path/odoo-09.0/10.0/11.0/12.0/13.0) where your odoo-bin file is placed (till odoo-10.0 the file is openerp-server but in later version the file is odoo-bin)
Run the command ./odoo-bin scaffold yourModuleName destinationDirectory (odoo_version >= 10)
Run the command ./openerp-server scaffold your_module_name destinationDirectory (odoo_version < 10)
please use configuration file to run odoo(it's quite easy without any mistake)
run this command: python3 odoo-bin --save --config odoo.cfg --stop-after-init
that will save odoo.cfg file open it up and add your custom module path in addons_path varibale which is defined in top of configuartion file
using mode debug, go to your apps, click update app list
Use this command to create module in odoo.
odoo-bin scaffold mynewmodule addons
directive command module-name modulepath
Have you click Update App List in menu Apps?
This is screenshot from Odoo 11, it should applied in Odoo 12 but may be different position.

I am new to Odoo and I need to know what is the basic steps of adding a new module.
More specifically I need to know how to add custom modules to the addons-path.
In Odoo document they explain this step as this
$ ./odoo-bin --addons-path=../custom,../enterprise/,addons
but did not work for me.
For adding a new module you should do these steps:
Build your module with your written code or scaffold command.
Add the module path in your config file at addons-path = '',''
Change your URL like this: http://localhost:8091/web?debug=1
Go to apps and from up tabs
Select update app list and refresh your page.
Now you can see your module in the apps.
If you are not getting your custom module in Odoo after adding the path then you can try to add the full path of your folder into addons-path.
To get the full path of your custom folder just right-click on the folder and go to properties and find the path of your folder.
Also, you have to make sure to Apply the Update App list in your Odoo App Dashboard after restarting the server with custom addons.
I run this command in the terminal to pull my theme files from Shopify to my local development environment.
theme get –password=your-api-password –store=your-store.myshopify.com –themeid=your-theme-id
Usually, this command works fine but I got a message on the terminal and I'm not sure what the next step is, it's not listed in any documentation. The message is:
Available theme versions:
[116161183899][live] Debut
What's the next command to download this actual theme?
you should add --list on the command you write, this is not an error, theme get --list --password=... --store=... give you the list of all templates installed on your site. Your msg says you have one.
after that, you have two options use the commands get or download. I recommend you use get, because it will set a config file to easy use all the commands on the future, more info here with get the command the first time should be:
theme get --password=... --store=... --themeid=...
After that it will download the theme and create a config file on the root of the project. you can use this config file on the future with any command.
theme get --env=development
the config file is very useful, you can set multiple enviroments, more details here
If this not fix your issue please send the version themekit version and OS you use.
I want to open a directory as a project in Intellij. The directory contains automation/ansible scripts (yaml/sh/etc) files. Tried to search for solution but with no result. How can I do this in IntelliJ?
On Mac OS, do
$ cd /path/to/the/project/root/directory
$ open -a 'IntelliJ IDEA 2018.2' &
Project will be automatically created.
The following steps works for me. I am using Ultimate 2018.2 with YAML/Ansible support plugin installed.
File>New>Project from Existing Sources or if adding as a module in existing project(s) File>New>Module from Existing Sources, then select the folder that contains the scripts.
In next window, select the Create project from existing sources option. The click Next in succeeding windows then Finish.
I have started using odoo and I would like to install some modules like Custom Invoice template, Pls recommend some docs or steps to install new modules.
Activate the developer mode by doing to About page (by clicking the user profile picture).
Go to settings choose "Users" from the menu Click the current user, and edit it by checking "Technical features"
Refresh the page
Unpacked the module at ../server/openerp/addons
Go to modules under settings and Click the "Update module list" menu item.
The app should display under local modules, so find your new module in Settings > Modules > Local Modules and click on the install button.
I am just posting the best steps:
create a separate folder custom_addons and place it inside the located folder of odoo in parallel with addons folder like
/opt/odoo/custom_addons ,
Now your odoo directory have two module source /opt/odoo/addons and /opt/odoo/custom_addons.
It's time to include this newly create folder in the addons path of odoo server .
Open your odoo server config :nano /etc/odoo-server.conf
append the newly create addons in addons_path like:
addons_path = /opt/odoo/custom_addons,/opt/odoo/addons
save the file and restart your odoo server .
Now place your new modules [create/purchased] in side the
custom_addons then update module list and search the name of module and install it.
I am trying to install Yii framework via archive file in Windows 7...after downloading the file I tried extracting it into a folder in my C:\wamp\www\bid location, however, I encounter an error saying this:
! C:\wamp\www\bid\yii-basic-app-2.0.2.tgz: Cannot create symbolic link C:\wamp\www\bid\basic\vendor\bin\markdown
A required privilege is not held by the client.
! C:\wamp\www\bid\yii-basic-app-2.0.2.tgz: Cannot create symbolic link C:\wamp\www\bid\basic\vendor\bin\yii
A required privilege is not held by the client.
I thought that perhaps Winrar can't extract tgz files so I downloaded 7-zip...Using 7-zip it extracted into a tar file and the tar file was extracted with no errors...For some reason though I do not seem to have the framework folder that seem to be in other people's directory structure...Moreover after trying create my own framework folder and performing this command:
yiic webapp C:\wamp\www\bid
It states that yiic is not recognized as an internal or external command
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong...I've tried setting this up numerous times and failed
You need to run 7-Zip File Manager in administrator mode.
Right-click the icon of 7-Zip File Manager, and then click "Run as administrator".
you need to call the command with php since it is actually a external command, i do it like this
php ./yiic webapp NameOfApp
This way your terminal understand that yii is a program that runs with php.
Another solution is to add the yii path to your environmental variable, regards
