odoo-addons-path 1.0.1

Create the ultimate Odoo addons_path constructor

odoo-addons-path

Automatically detect and construct Odoo addons_path for various project layouts.

Problem

Different Odoo project frameworks use different directory structures:

• Trobz, Camptocamp, Odoo.sh, Doodba each have unique layouts
• Manual configuration is error-prone and time-consuming
• Developers need consistent addons_path across team projects

Solution

odoo-addons-path auto-detects your project layout and generates the correct configuration:

$ odoo-addons-path /home/project
/home/project/odoo/addons,/home/project/addons/repo1,/home/project/addons/repo2

Installation

pip install odoo-addons-path

Quick Start

CLI Usage

# Auto-detect layout (detector runs)
odoo-addons-path /path/to/your/odoo/project

# With verbose output (categorized paths)
odoo-addons-path /path/to/project --verbose

# Manual addon paths - detector SKIPPED (uses explicit path only)
odoo-addons-path /path/to/project --addons-dir "./addons/*/18.0, ./custom"

# Manual Odoo path - detector SKIPPED (uses explicit path only)
odoo-addons-path /path/to/project --odoo-dir /opt/odoo

# Both explicit - detector SKIPPED (uses both paths)
odoo-addons-path /path/to/project --odoo-dir /opt/odoo --addons-dir "./custom"

# Use environment variable with auto-detection
export CODEBASE=/home/project
odoo-addons-path

Detector Skip Behavior: Detector is skipped if ANY explicit path is provided (--addons-dir or --odoo-dir). This ensures predictable behavior with explicit configuration.

Programmatic Usage

from pathlib import Path
from odoo_addons_path import get_addons_path

# Auto-detect layout
paths = get_addons_path(Path("/path/to/project"))
print(paths)
# Output: /path/to/project/addons,/path/to/project/enterprise

# With options
paths = get_addons_path(
    codebase=Path("/home/project"),
    addons_dir=[Path("/home/project/custom")],
    verbose=True
)
