Odoo Environment Manager v0.16.16 - by jeo Software <jorge.obiols@gmail.com>

options:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  -i [CLIENT]          Install environment / update repositories. With no value, repositories are taken
                       from the manifest. Pass a CLIENT name to build the canonical repo URL git@github.com:<org>/cl-<client>.git for the first
                       installation (e.g. oe -i labutic). Use CLIENT:VERSION to select a migrated branch,
                       e.g. oe -i sama:17 clones cl-sama at branch 17.0 (:17 and :17.0 both work).
                       A full git URL (git@... or https://...) is also accepted.
  --org ORG            Set the GitHub organization used to build canonical repo URLs (e.g. quilsoft-org).
                       This parameter is persistent. Defaults to quilsoft-org when unset.
  -R                   Run postgres, wdb and aeroo images (aeroo only for old odoo versions).
  -p                   Pull Images. Download all images declared in client manifest.
  -w                   Create / Overwrite config file.
  -r                   Run odoo image
  -S                   Stop postgres, wdb and aeroo images.
  -s                   Stop odoo image.
  -u                   Updates modules in the database. With no parameters, all modules are updated.
                       Use -m list-modules to update only the specified modules Use -d databasename
                       to update a database other than the default database.
  -I MODULE            Install module(s) in the default database. Pass a module name or a comma-separated
                       list (e.g. -I sale,stock). Modules already installed are updated (-u) instead of reinstalled. Optional: -d <database> to target a
                       database other than the default ([client]_prod).
  -H                   Show odoo server help, it shows the help from the odoo image declared in the
                       cliente manifest
  -V                   Show version number and exit.
  -Q MODULES           Run the tests. Required parameters: list of modules to test separate by commas
                       (without spaces) e.g. -Q sale,stock. Use -Q all to auto-discover and run every
                       module with a tests/ directory in the current
                       repository. Optional parameters: -d <database>; if omitted, the default [project]_test database will be used, NOTE: The database used for testing must be created with
                       demo data and must have admin/admin credentials.
  -c CLIENT            Set default client name. This parameter is persistent
  -v                   Go verbose mode. Prints every command
  -d DATABASE          Set default Database name. This option is persistent
  -m MODULE            Module to update. Used with -u (update) i.e. -m sale for updating sale module
                       -m all for updating all modules. NOTE: if you perform -u without -m it asumes
                       all modules -f BACKUP_FILE Filename to restore. Used with --restore.
                       To get the name of If ommited the newest file will be restored
  --deploy-keys        Available only in production mode. It creates a pair of deploy keys for each
                       private repository found in the manifest, lists the public keys for adding to
                       the repositories.
  --no-deactivate      No Deactivate database before restore. WARNING this command is deprecated
  --debug              Set default environment mode to debug. This parameter is persistent.
  --prod               Set default environment mode to production. This parameter is persistent.
  --restore            Restore a backup into the client database. By default restores the newest .zip
                       file found in backup_dir into the default database ([client]_prod). Use -f to
                       specify a particular backup file and -d to target a different database.
                       The restored database is deactivated automatically unless --no-deactivate is
                       passed.
  --create-test-db     Create a test database installing only the testable modules (those with a
                       tests/ directory) of the current directory.
  --test-all           Run all module tests with coverage and enforce the coverage threshold.
  --base-dir BASE_DIR  Set the root directory where all client environments are stored (e.g. /odoo_ar/).
                       Saved persistently in the config file; subsequent commands will use this value
                       as the default until changed. will use this value as the default until changed.

Changelog

• 0.16.16 - FIX: Apply directory permissions (chmod/chown) only once during creation. Updated oe --create-test-db install to install only current directory modules and avoid appending the version to the root directory.
• 0.16.15 - FIX oe -Q omits docker -it when stdin is not a TTY (CI/headless)
• 0.16.14 - ADD oe -I to install a module in the client database (already-installed modules are updated with -u instead of reinstalled)
• 0.16.13 - FIX oe -Q accepts modules in sibling library repos under sources/ (#129)
• 0.16.12 - FIX database existence check works with psql 18 (direct connection instead of variable interpolation)
• 0.16.11 - FIX oe -Q selects -i/-u per module state and detects zero-test modules as failures (#128)
• 0.16.10 - ADD oe -i : to install a migrated branch (#125)
• 0.16.9 - FIX oe -i resolves the client name on a fresh install without a default (#123)
• 0.16.8 - FIX -Q / -i / -u / --create-test-db omit docker -it when stdin is not a TTY (CI/headless)
• 0.16.7 - Refactoring of the code, no changes to functionality, remove old manifest filename "openerp.py",

• 0.16.0 - Added support for postgres 18.0
• 0.15.2 - Added support for WDB 3.3.1 for Odoo versions >= 16, and remove repository creation when pulling images with -p to speed up the process, since the repository has little use.

• 0.12.6 - A bug was found when oe attempts to change permissions on the backup_dir folder. In some cases, this folder is an S3 or OBS bucket, depending on the cloud provider. In such cases, the error is caught, and only a warning is displayed, as changing the permissions is not necessary.

• 0.12.1 - When the -p command is run in debug mode, it pulls the debug image and performs an extract-sources; in production mode, it pulls the production image.
