odoo-cli-official 0.7.0

CLI tool to manage and develop local Odoo instances

odoo-cli

A CLI tool to manage and develop local Odoo instances: one workspace, git worktrees for multitasking across versions, shared venvs, derived database names, and automatic port allocation — with the filesystem, the database, and odoo/odoo/release.py as the only sources of truth. The full design lives in specs/ (requirements.md, architecture.md, usecase.md).

Install

uv tool install odoo-cli-official   # installs the `odoo` executable

Runtime is the Python standard library plus a vendored click (Python 3.10+); nothing else.

Quick start

odoo init                 # workspace at ~/odoo, latest stable, empty db
odoo module install crm
odoo start                # foreground; Ctrl-C to stop

The workspace looks like:

~/.config/odoo/odoo.conf  <- the only config file (Odoo's own format/location)
~/odoo/
    .repositories/        <- shared bare clones (presence = enabled)
    .venvs/19.0/          <- one venv per detected Odoo version
    .run/19.0/19.0/ports  <- allocated ports per (worktree, database)
    19.0/                 <- a worktree: odoo/, documentation/, ...

Daily commands

Command	Description
odoo start [-d DB] [--new-port] [--prod]	Start the server (foreground)
odoo where [--json]	Show the resolved context + exact odoo-bin command
odoo update [modules]	Update modules (default: all installed)
odoo module install <modules>	Install modules (creates the db if needed)
odoo test <module|installed|all> [-t tag]	Run tests in {db}-test
odoo shell [-c CODE]	Odoo Python REPL / one-shot execution
odoo db reset	Drop + recreate, reinstalling the db's module set
odoo config get/set/list	Edit the shared odoo.conf
odoo repo enable <enterprise|themes|upgrade>	Enable an optional repo
odoo repo add <name> <url>	Clone a custom addon repository
odoo worktree create <name> [source] [--linked --addon REPO]	New worktree
odoo venv	Rebuild the venv for the current worktree

Commands infer their target from the current directory (or -w/-d); the database defaults to the worktree name.

Development

# any Python >= 3.10 (a bare `python` may resolve to an older interpreter)
python3 -m unittest discover           # unit + cli + integration (fast, no network)
ODOO_CLI_E2E=1 ODOO_CLI_E2E_ODOO_REPO=~/src/odoo \
    python3 -m unittest discover tests/e2e -v  # real-Odoo flows (slow, opt-in)
ODOO_CLI_DOCKER_E2E=1 \
    python3 -m unittest tests.integration.test_postgres_install_environments -v

Architecture, layering rules, and the testing strategy are documented in specs/architecture.md.
