odoo-bin scaffolding with doodba development container

[nimarosa]

Okay so i'm trying to use odoo-bin to scaffold addons, but because the file really is in a container, the script fails. Do you know how i can achieve this? Maybe some docker-compose command to run the script? Because i'm familiar to integrating odoo scaffolding with VSCode, so it's a function that i really hope i can have without having to have a local install of odoo.

Thank you for the great image, it's the best.

Hi 👋

Well, this is a bit tricky because of the way the code is mounted and handled in the container in the devel environment.
With https://github.com/Tecnativa/doodba-copier-template we mount the code as read only in the container in /opt/odoo/custom/src and then symlink all the addons to opt/odoo/auto/addons, where the container already has write permissions, so you could do:

1. Change the mount of /opt/odoo/custom/src to rw and generate the addon there
2. Generate the addon in /opt/odoo/auto and then copy it from outside the container to wherever you want
3. Generate the addon anywhere in the container and copy it outside with a docker cp

It would be nice to have a script to do this quickly. WDYT @yajo? Maybe an invoke task?

I just copy-paste https://github.com/OCA/maintainer-tools/tree/master/template/module and remove/rename what I don't need, and it's more than enough for most cases.

If you really want something fancy, you can do an odoo module copier template.

Hello all, Confirming this still Doodba's suggested method to begin a new module. There's nothing wrong with it. Just seeing if there's an undocumented newer practice.
