I'm new to OpenERP and Python too. I have OpenERP 6.0.4
I have modified the invoice.py file in the account folder using python 2.7 (I just edited and saved the file, I didn't compile anything).
The change I made is how the total amount is calculated, I needed the total amount to always add 0.3 EUR to the total.
I then restarted OpenERP server, I also went to admnisitration>modules> set the account module to upgrade and then applied the upgrades.
I then started a new invoice and the changes were not reflected.
For testing purposes, since I'm new to Python and thought maybe I didn't code correctly, I have modified the help message that appears when you hover the mouse over "Residual" in the invoice interface by modifying a line in invoice.py from help="Remaining amount due." to help="This is just for testing."
I restarted the server and upgraded the modules and even this change isn't reflected.
I even created a new database and the modifications are still not showing.
Am I missing something? Is it even possible to edit the core modules ? Is there any workaround to this?
FINAL SOLUTION : Uninstalling and reinstalling the server solved the problem.
The most probable cause is the the addons directory being used is not the same you are editing. You can be sure if you change the name of the addons directory and can restart the server without problems. You can also try to set the --addons-path parameter to the server start command.
If/when you confirm to be working on the right files, try instead to make small text changes on views, since these are visible right after a module upgrade, not requiring a server restart. For instance, try changing some string attributes on account\partner_view.xml.
Slightly off topic, but important: you should not be modifying the core modules directly in the source. The correct way is to extend the core class in your own module which will depend on the core module.
From your comments, it seems you want to add a set tax amount to your invoice. Have a look at http://doc.openerp.com/v6.1/book/3/3_7/invoicing.html#tax-management - openerp already caters for that need and then you dont need to hack the source code which should be your last resort :)

I have the IDEA Ultimate 2018.1 with flowtype (flow-bin) configured and all the checkboxes selected. I followed this guide: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2017.2/flow-type-checker.html
The type checking needs much time to be executed. I change something in my code (reverting a wrong annotation, or creating a wrong one), and I need to wait around 30 seconds to get the correct annotation, this is, IDEA triggers the flow server to analyse the files and modify the editor accordingly. That is quite a lot.
Can I trigger that type checking analysis manually inside IDEA to get the editor updated? Or can I change the auto-running interval?
As Kraus noticed, my version of flow-bin was old.
I was using the version 0.26.0 instead of the new 0.74.0, mainly because when I updated flow I was not using flow-bin but flow...
Thanks. Now IDEA and flow are fast.
I have 2 instances of Odoo v9 running in the same server (Ubuntu 14.04). I want to make changes (install modules, change source code or anything) in the developement instance and after confirming they are OK, move the changes to the Production Instance. Is there anyway of doing that without repeating the whole process of development?
Thank you.
As I can understand you do not want to stop the production instance.
If they are only XML files you might be able to get away by only updating the module from the frontend (Apps-> Your Module -> Update. Although if you have modified the __openerp__.py file inside your module you have to enter the debug mode and click Update Apps List first of all.
For changes in files that are inside the static folder of your module, you do not need to stop the server. Although, your users must click ctr + shift + R in order to flush their caches and bring to their browsers the new content.
For Python source code I am afraid that you have to stop both instances of the server so that the code can be correctly recompiled.
(See note 1 on this)
In the end you should stop and update everything because unexpected things might pop up at random times due to resources not been properly updated.
Note 1: The Python documentation about the compilation of Python modules above others mentions:
As an important speed-up of the start-up time for short programs that
use a lot of standard modules, if a file called spam.pyc exists in the
directory where spam.py is found, this is assumed to contain an
already-“byte-compiled” version of the module spam. The modification
time of the version of spam.py used to create spam.pyc is recorded in
spam.pyc, and the .pyc file is ignored if these don’t match.
So theoretically if you modify fileA.py in a module and a new fileA.pyc is generated the server will be able to interpret and use it. In any case I had an issue with two instances running where the py file was creating the field and the XML file was using it and the server reported that a filed had not been created for the XML view, that means that the server did pick up and parse the XML file but did not recompile the py.
When I debug the following code, I receive the message "System.TypeLoadException was caught" when I perform the Delete().
Using db As New ScholarshipEntities
db.ApplicationHistories.Where(Function(h) h.HistoryTypeId = 0).Delete()
db.SaveChanges()
End Using
I am using EF 6.1 in Visual Studio 2013. I also have the EntityFramework.Extended library installed.
I have no trouble querying results. I thought the bug might occur when the Where method has no results, but that is not the case. I also have no problem adding new models (.edmx), which was a problem some people with this exception had.
I just recently upgraded to EF 6.1 and installed the Extended library. This is my first time using one of the extended methods. I've un-installed and re-installed the nuget packages with no success.
IntelliTrace shows the following exceptions from the Delete() call (in order):
'EntityFramework.Reflection.DynamicProxy' does not contain a definition for 'InternalQuery'
Cannot implicitly convert type 'EntityFramework.Reflection.DynamicProxy' to 'System.Data.Entity.Core.Objects.ObjectQuery<Scholarship.ApplicationHistory>'
Could not load type 'System.Data.Entity.Core.Mapping.EntityContainerMapping'
I've added an issue on the Extended library's github.
Update
I've reinstalled EF and the EF.Extended library with no luck. I am able to use RemoveRange in its place. I am able to create a new project, install the packages, add a model mapped to the same database, and successfully use Delete. Obviously, the problem is in my current solution.
In my solution, I have an ASP.NET project and a regular library project. In the ASP project, a page's code behind calls a method in the library RemoveHistory. The library contains classes for the business logic and data access. Both classes implement interfaces. The actual Delete occurs in the data access class. My model also resides in this library project.
I may be able to create a completely new project and bring everything over, but that will take quite some time. Even if I did, I want to understand why it doesn't work in the first place, so that I don't have to repeat this process.
If you want to delete certain rows do it like that:
Using db As New ScholarshipEntities
db.ApplicationHistories.RemoveRange(db.ApplicationHistories.Where(Function(h) h.HistoryTypeId = 0))
db.SaveChanges()
End Using
If you want to remove single entity do it like that:
Using db As New ScholarshipEntities
db.ApplicationHistories.Remove(db.ApplicationHistories.Single(Function(h) h.HistoryTypeId = 0))
db.SaveChanges()
End Using
I "solved" the issue some time ago. I'll eventually go back to try and reproduce the problem to confirm my suspicions.
There were multiple versions of Entity Framework installed in the solution. This didn't appear to affect basic EF functionality, though I'm sure it did in some subtle, potentially buggy fashion.
Every time the solution was opened, NuGet would state that it couldn't complete uninstallation. Uninstalling and restoring via NuGet was unsuccessful, and the packages had to be deleted manually. Once completely removed, I installed the packages again. This resolved the issue.
I wish I could give a more technical answer, though the basic reason was forgetting to look closer at the packages folder and configuration.
I would like to get an automated changelog from Trac, that will include references to tickets that made some important changes to the architecture/design of the code. My ideal scenario would look like this:
According to some ticket I make a change to SVN
I add some specific line to the ticket saying that this changeset created an important change to the code/wiki
I go to some dedicated Trac page and see a full list of such changes made with the project.
In other words, it's going to be a changelog, which is available for all project participants, and the entire team will be updated about the important changes with source code and wiki.
Can you suggest any Trac plugin for this? Or maybe Trac itself can do it?
ps. Would be excellent to have another "Plans Log", where everybody can post their plans on future changes. Again, inside tickets.

Personally I'm looking for something a little more like the VirtualBox changelog which I can then put into a plain text file. So if anyone knows how to do this I'm interested!
www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog
Sample:

Main: DVD passthrough setting was lost (bug #5681)
VBoxManage: iSCSI disks do not support adding a comment (bug #4460)
VBoxManage: added missing --cpus and --memory options to OVF --import
VirtualBox 3.1.0 (released 2009-11-30)
This version is a major update. The following major new features were added:

* ...
I just executed installutil on a DLL in which custom performance counters are installed. I installed 2 categories but then realized I had an issue with the first category, so I deleted the category but before deleting I ran an asp.net app against to make sure it was working.
The issue is after deleting the category and then recreating the application is logging to the custom perfmon counter but the values never get updated.
The second custom category works fine and counter is getting populated. I can see both categories within perfmon but noticed that the first category counters never get updated when running an asp.net against it.
Has anyone run into this issue. Do I need to delete the existing instance? I'm trying to avoid a reboot of the machine.
depending on how you install the counter, (assuming transacted installation let's say...) perf counters can get "orphaned".
IMHO this is because perf counters seem to get installed in the Reg and "elsewhere" <--still trying to find out where else perf counter info gets stored.
In some cases, the regkeys get built appropriately and so register as appropriate but the OS "elsewhere" location is not properly built out. It's almost like there is a perfcounter cache somewhere. ( comments anyone?)
So in summary after installation run lodctr /R from the commandline with the appropriate perms and this "seems" to solve the issue for most installations. I would be interested to see what others say about this as the generally available documentation (i.e. MS) SUCKS beyond belief on this topic...
grrr.
