Odoo 17.0 Development Tools

Goal

Use standard Odoo 17.0 tooling to inspect, develop, and test efficiently.

Core tools

• Scaffold: odoo-bin scaffold <module> <addons_path> (match coding standards).
• Shell: odoo-bin shell -d <db> for read-only inspection; avoid destructive changes.
• Tests: inside a Docker Sandbox session, use sandbox/bin/sandboxctl module <session> test <module> exclusively — never invoke raw odoo-bin -d <db> --test-tags <tag> for an install/update/test lifecycle gate (see DockerSandboxOperations/SKILL.md). Local (non-Sandbox) mode uses manage_modules.sh test <module> instead.
• Lint: pylint-odoo/black if available.
• Data: export/import reference data; avoid manual prod edits.
• Performance: log queries; add indexes based on heavy domains.

Reuse odoo.tools (upstream)

• Reference: github.com/odoo/odoo/tree/17.0/odoo/tools
• Import utilities instead of duplicating: safe_eval, float_round/float_repr, date_utils, misc, config, file_open.
• Follow upstream patterns; maintain signature compatibility if extending.

Usage pattern

• During discovery: shell/export to list models/views/rules to reuse.
• During build: scaffold, code, lint, test; document commands per task.
• During rollout: script migrations; capture dry-run outputs.
