Odoo 18.0 Development Tools

Goal

Use Odoo 18.0 tooling to accelerate development, testing, and review.

Core tools

• Scaffold: odoo-bin scaffold <module> <addons_path> (respect 18 standards).
• Shell: odoo-bin shell -d <db> for inspection; avoid destructive writes.
• 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 enabled.
• Data: export/import reference data; avoid manual prod edits.
• Performance: log queries; profile hotspots; add indexes/domains accordingly.

Reuse odoo.tools (upstream)

• Reference: github.com/odoo/odoo/tree/18.0/odoo/tools
• Import rather than rewrite: safe_eval, float_round/float_repr, date_utils, image, misc, config, file_open.
• Match upstream patterns; keep signatures compatible when extending.

Usage pattern

• Discovery: shell/export to see existing models/views/rules to extend.
• Build: scaffold, code, lint, test; note commands in tasks.
• Rollout: script migrations/backfills; keep dry-run logs.
