odoo-module-migrator

odoo-module-migrator is a python3 library that allows you to automatically migrate module code to make it compatible with newer Odoo versions. For example:

• renaming __openerp__.py file to __manifest__.py
• removing # -*- encoding: utf-8 -*- since V11.0
• replacing openerp import with odoo import
• removing migrations folders
• changing <act_window> to <record model="ir.actions.window">
• ...

This library will:

• (optionally) get commits from the old branch (if format-patch is enabled)
• automatically apply changes (renaming, replacing, etc.)
• commit your changes
• display warnings or errors in the log if your code contains obsolete code patterns

This project is about migrating code. If you're looking for database data migration between Odoo versions, check out the https://github.com/OCA/OpenUpgrade project.

INFO log

Indicates that the library automatically changed something. A priori you have nothing to do. For example, for a migration from 8.0 to a more recent version:

12:38:54 INFO Renaming file: '/my_module/__openerp__.py' to '/my_module/__manifest__.py'

WARNING log

Indicates that you should check something. There may be something to do to make the module work. For example:

19:37:55 WARNING Replaced dependency of 'account_analytic_analysis' with 'contract' (Moved to OCA/contract)

ERROR log

Indicates that you must change something in your code. If not, the module will not work for sure (not installable or generating errors during execution).

For example, if you have an 8.0 module that depends on 'account_anglo_saxon', which disappeared in more recent versions, the following log will be displayed:

12:38:54 ERROR Depends on removed module 'account_anglo_saxon'

Development and Improvement

If you want to improve or contribute to this library, please read the DEVELOP.rst file and the 'Roadmap / Known Issues' sections.

Installation

pip3 install odoo-module-migrator

Usage

Using Format Patch command

(Recommended by the OCA)

If you want to migrate an Odoo module from version 8.0 to 12.0, for example, the module pos_order_pricelist_change in the OCA "pos" repository:

git clone https://github.com/OCA/pos -b 12.0
cd pos
odoo-module-migrate
    --directory             ./
    --modules               pos_order_pricelist_change
    --init-version-name     8.0
    --target-version-name   12.0
    --format-patch

Without format Patch command

(Mainly for your custom modules)

If you have created a new branch (for example 12.0) based on your 10.0 branch, you can run the following command:

odoo-module-migrate
    --directory             /path/to/repository
    --modules               module_1,module_2,module_3
    --init-version-name     10.0
    --target-version-name   12.0

This tool will operate the changes for each module.

Available Arguments

Name	Shortcut	Options	Description
--directory	-d	Default: ./	Local folder that contains the module(s) to migrate.
--init-version-name	-i	Required	Initial version of your module(s) you want to migrate.
--target-version-name	-t	Default: the latest Odoo version	Final version you want to migrate to.
--modules	-m	Default: All modules in the directory	Module(s) to migrate. Note: if the format-patch option is enabled, you have to provide only one module.
--format-patch	-fp	Disabled by default	Recover code using the git format-patch command.
--remote-name	-rn	Default: origin	Name of the main remote used by the format-patch command.
--log-level	-ll	Default: INFO	Possible values: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, etc.
--log-path	-lp	Default: False	If set, logs will not be displayed on screen, but stored in a file.
--no-commit	-nc	Default: commit	If set, the library will not git add and git commit changes.

Roadmap / Known Issues

• The replacement of the tag <openerp><data> with <odoo> will fail in cases where there are many <data> occurrences. We could fix that by using the lxml library instead of regular expressions.
• Add a call to pre-commit run -a, if pre-commit is present in the repository.
