[IMP] developer/rdtraining: simplify the development environment setup

In an attempt to help new developers install Odoo with a
straightforward procedure, Chapter 2 of the "Getting started" tutorial
included copy-pastes of parts of the "Installing Odoo" page. This proved
to be inefficient because it required maintaining documentation on the
installation procedure in several places and misled the readers by
suggesting installing the Python requirements *after* installing
PostgreSQL.

With this commit, the page on Chapter 2 is refreshed to be clearer to
the readers and redirect them to the "Installing Odoo" page when
necessary.

Depending on the intended use case, there are multiple ways to install Odoo. This tutorial will
stick to the :ref:`source install <setup/install/source>` (:dfn:`running Odoo from the source
code`), which is best suited for Odoo developers.
There are multiple ways to install Odoo depending on the intended use case.
Throughout this document, we assume that you are installing your development environment on a
laptop provided by Odoo with Linux Mint installed and up-to-date. If that is not the case, switch to
the appropriate section of the installation guide, depending on whether you are on :ref:`Windows
<setup/install/source/windows>` or :ref:`Mac OS <setup/install/source/mac_os>`. The steps remain
essentially the same.
This document attempts to describe the installation options for an internal Odoo R&D developer. We
assume that you are installing your development environment on a standard Odoo laptop with Linux
Mint installed and up-to-date. At the time of writing, we are using a vanilla Linux Mint 20
(Ubuntu 20.04) as a starting point.
Set up Git
==========
If you are using another environment, you can refer to :ref:`setup/install/source`.
Fetch the sources & configure git
=================================
Install and configure git
Install and configure Git
-------------------------
The very first step of the installation process is to install the `git version control system <https://git-scm.com/>`_
because the Odoo source code is managed on GitHub.
Git can be installed on `Linux <https://git-scm.com/download/linux>`_, `Windows
<https://git-scm.com/download/win>`_ or `MacOS <https://git-scm.com/download/mac>`_.
If you're using the laptop provided to you by Odoo, Git should already be installed. If it is not,
you can install it with:

.. code-block:: console
$ sudo apt install git
$ sudo apt install git
Once installed, you can set your name and email:
.. tip::
Check if Git is installed by trying to print Git's version with the following command:
.. code-block:: console
$ git --version
Once installed, register your name and email:
.. code-block:: console
$ git config --global user.name "Your full name"
$ git config --global user.email "xyz@odoo.com"
$ git config --global user.name "Your full name (trigram)"
$ git config --global user.email "xyz@odoo.com"
Configure GitHub
----------------
To fetch the sources and contribute to Odoo's development you will need a GitHub account. We
recommend using your trigram (xyz) followed by '-odoo' as your username: 'xyz-odoo'. If you prefer,
you can also use your personal GitHub account.
You need a GitHub account to fetch the sources and contribute to Odoo's development. If you don't
have one yet, create it. For the username, we recommend using your trigram "xyz" (or quadrigam)
followed by '-odoo': 'xyz-odoo'.
The easiest way to authenticate with GitHub is to use an SSH connection. Using SSH authentication
allows you to connect to GitHub without supplying your username and password every time you type a
command.

Fetch the sources
-----------------
=================
All the Odoo sources will be located in `$HOME/src/`
It is time to fetch the source code of Odoo. First, let's create a home for the Git repositories in
:file:`$HOME/src/`.
.. code-block:: console
$ mkdir -p $HOME/src
$ cd $HOME/src
$ git clone git@github.com:odoo/odoo.git
$ git clone git@github.com:odoo/enterprise.git
$ mkdir -p $HOME/src
$ cd $HOME/src
.. tip:: Cloning the repositories will take a while, enjoy a cup of coffee while you wait.
Then, clone the two repositories with SSH as explained in the :ref:`Installing Odoo guide
<setup/install/source/linux/git>`.
.. tip:: You may need to ask your manager for read rights to fetch the enterprise repository.
.. tip::

.. _howto/rdtraining/02_setup/development_repository:
Configure development repository
--------------------------------
Configure the Git repositories
==============================
To contribute to Odoo's development you will need to
`fork the repository <https://guides.github.com/activities/forking/>`_, create a branch containing
your code in the fork and submit a
`Pull Request <https://docs.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/github-glossary#pull-request>`_
to the Odoo repository.
To contribute to an Odoo repository, you first need to `fork it
<https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/contributing-to-projects>`_, then create a branch
containing your changes on the fork, and finally submit a `Pull Request
<https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/github-glossary#pull-request>`_ to the
repository.
If you are lucky enough to work at Odoo, the forks already exist. They are called
`odoo-dev/odoo` and `odoo-dev/enterprise`.
.. tip::
If you are lucky enough to work at Odoo, the forks already exist. They are hosted on
https://github.com/odoo-dev/odoo and https://github.com/odoo-dev/enterprise.
After your two forks are created, their remote address can be added in your local repositories. In
the commands below, replace `odoo-dev/odoo` and `odoo-dev/enterprise` with the name of your forks if
needed.
.. code-block:: console
$ cd $HOME/src/odoo
$ git remote add odoo-dev git@github.com:odoo-dev/odoo.git #add odoo-dev as a new remote
$ git remote rename origin odoo #change the name of origin (the odoo repository) to odoo
$ git remote set-url --push odoo no_push #remove the possibility to push to odoo (you can only push to odoo-dev)
$ cd $HOME/src/enterprise
$ git remote add enterprise-dev git@github.com:odoo-dev/enterprise.git
$ git remote rename origin enterprise
$ git remote set-url --push enterprise no_push
Useful git commands
-------------------
Here are some useful git commands for your day-to-day work.
* Change branch:
When you change branches, both repositories (odoo and enterprise) must be synchronized, i.e. both
need to be in the same branch.
.. code-block:: console
$ cd $HOME/src/odoo
$ git checkout 15.0
$ cd $HOME/src/enterprise
$ git checkout 15.0
* Fetch and rebase:
.. code-block:: console
$ cd $HOME/src/odoo
$ git fetch --all --prune
$ git rebase --autostash odoo/15.0
$ cd $HOME/src/enterprise
$ git fetch --all --prune
$ git rebase --autostash enterprise/15.0
$ cd $HOME/src/odoo
$ git remote add odoo-dev git@github.com:odoo-dev/odoo.git # Add odoo-dev as a new remote.
$ git remote rename origin odoo # Change the name of origin (the odoo repository) to odoo.
$ git remote set-url --push odoo no_push # Remove the possibility to push directly to odoo (you can only push to odoo-dev).
$ cd $HOME/src/enterprise
$ git remote add enterprise-dev git@github.com:odoo-dev/enterprise.git
$ git remote rename origin enterprise
$ git remote set-url --push enterprise no_push
Install the dependencies
========================
Python
------
As seen in :ref:`howto/rdtraining/01_architecture`, Odoo's server runs on Python and uses PostgreSQL
as an RDBMS. In the context of a development machine, the easiest approach is to install everything
locally. To do so, follow once again the :ref:`Installing Odoo guide
<setup/install/source/linux/prepare>`.
Odoo requires Python 3.7 or later, if your computer is up-to-date you should already be at this
version or higher.
.. tip::
Some useful SQL commands:
You can check your Python version with:
.. code-block:: console
.. code-block:: console
$ createdb $DB_NAME # Create a database.
$ dropdb $DB_NAME # Drop a database.
$ python3 --version
Install pip3 and libraries
--------------------------
For libraries using native code, installation of development tools and native dependencies is
required before installing the Python dependencies of Odoo.
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo apt install python3-pip python3-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev libssl-dev libpq-dev libjpeg-dev
Install odoo requirements
-------------------------
.. code-block:: console
$ cd $HOME/src/odoo
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
.. _howto/rdtraining/02_setup/install-wkhtmltopdf:
Install wkhtmltopdf
-------------------
wkhtmltopdf is a library to render HTML into PDF. Odoo uses it to create PDF reports. wkhtmltopdf
is not installed through pip and must be installed manually in version 0.12.5 to support
headers and footers.
.. code-block:: console
$ cd /tmp/
$ sudo wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.5/wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.focal_amd64.deb
$ sudo gdebi --n wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.focal_amd64.deb
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage /usr/bin
Right-to-left interface support
-------------------------------
In order to support right-to-left (RTL) languages, we need `rtlcss` to convert the CSS files:
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
$ sudo npm install -g rtlcss
Install PostgreSQL
------------------
As seen in :ref:`howto/rdtraining/01_architecture`, Odoo uses PostgreSQL as a RDBMS. In the context of a
development machine, the easiest approach is to install it locally. Then we can create a PostgreSQL user
corresponding to our current user:
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-client
$ sudo -u postgres createuser -s $USER
Some useful SQL commands:
.. code-block:: console
$ createdb $DB_NAME #Create a database
$ dropdb $DB_NAME #Drop a database
$ psql $DB_NAME #Connect to a database
\l #List all the available databases
\dt #List all the tables of the $DB_NAME database
\d $TABLE_NAME #Show the structure of the table $TABLE_NAME
\q #Quit the psql environment (ctrl + d)
$ psql $DB_NAME # Connect to a database.
\l #List all the available databases.
\dt #List all the tables of the $DB_NAME database.
\d $TABLE_NAME #Show the structure of the table $TABLE_NAME.
\q #Quit the psql environment (ctrl + d).
Run the server
==============
Running odoo-bin
----------------
Launch with `odoo-bin`
----------------------
Once all dependencies are set up, Odoo can be launched by running odoo-bin, the command-line interface of the server.
Once all dependencies are set up, Odoo can be launched by running `odoo-bin`, the command-line
interface of the server.
.. code-block:: console
$ cd $HOME/src/odoo/
$ ./odoo-bin --addons-path="addons/,../enterprise/" -d rd-demo
There are multiple :ref:`command-line arguments <reference/cmdline/server>` that you can use to
configure the server. In this training you will only need some of them.

the worker from being killed when debugging the source code.
- | You may face an error similar to `AttributeError: module '<MODULE_NAME>' has no attribute
'<$ATTRIBUTE'>`. In this case, you may need to re-install the module with :command:`$ pip
install --upgrade --force-reinstall <MODULE_NAME>`.
| If this error occurs with more than one module, you may need to re-install all the
requirements with :command:`$ pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall -r requirements.txt`.
| You can also clear the python cache to solve the issue:
.. tip:: You may face an error similar to `AttributeError: module '$MODULE_NAME' has no attribute '$ATTRIBUTE'`
.. code-block:: console
In this case you may need to re-install the module with `$ pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall $MODULE_NAME`
$ cd $HOME/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/
$ find -name '*.pyc' -type f -delete
If this error occurs with more than one module then you may need to re-install all the
requirements with `$ pip3 install --upgrade --force-reinstall -r requirements.txt`
You can also clear the python cache to solve the issue
.. code-block:: console

Code Editor
-----------
If you are working at Odoo, many of your colleagues are using `VSCode`_ (`VSCodium`_ the open source
equivalent), `Sublime Text`_, `Atom`_ or `PyCharm`_. However you are free to
choose your preferred editor.
If you are working at Odoo, many of your colleagues are using `VSCode
<https://code.visualstudio.com>`_, `VSCodium <https://vscodium.com>`_ (the open source equivalent),
`PyCharm <https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/#section=linux>`_, or `Sublime Text
<https://www.sublimetext.com>`_. However, you are free to choose your preferred editor.
Don't forget to configure your linters correctly. Using a linter can help you by showing syntax and semantic
warnings or errors. Odoo source code tries to respect Python and JavaScript standards, but some of
them can be ignored.
It is important to configure your linters correctly. Using a linter helps you by showing syntax and
semantic warnings or errors. Odoo source code tries to respect Python's and JavaScript's standards,
but some of them can be ignored.
For Python, we use PEP8 with these options ignored:
- E501: line too long
- E301: expected 1 blank line, found 0
- E302: expected 2 blank lines, found 1
- `E501`: line too long
- `E301`: expected 1 blank line, found 0
- `E302`: expected 2 blank lines, found 1
For JavaScript, we use ESLint and you can find a `configuration file example here`_.
If you do not know how to set up a linter:
- `Here is an explanation of how to set up a Python linter in VSCode <https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/linting>`_. There are multiple
linter options you are free to choose from, but `Flake8 <https://pypi.org/project/flake8/>`_ is a popular choice.
- To setup ESLint in VSCode, you must download the `ESLint extension`_ and follow its instructions
for installing ESLint. Don't forget to create and set up the `.eslintrc` file to follow the
configuration file mentioned above.
- Another useful VSCode plugin is `Trailing Spaces`_ to quickly notice trailing spaces while
you're working.

Administrator tools for PostgreSQL
-----------------------------------
You can manage your PostgreSQL databases using the command line as demonstrated earlier or using
a GUI application such as `pgAdmin <https://www.pgadmin.org/download/pgadmin-4-apt/>`_ or `DBeaver <https://dbeaver.io/>`_.
a GUI application such as `pgAdmin <https://www.pgadmin.org/download/pgadmin-4-apt/>`_ or `DBeaver
<https://dbeaver.io/>`_.
To connect the GUI application to your database we recommend you connect using the Unix socket.
* Host name/address = /var/run/postgresql
* Port = 5432
* Username = $USER
- Host name/address: `/var/run/postgresql`
- Port: `5432`
- Username: `$USER`
Python Debugging
----------------
When facing a bug or trying to understand how the code works, simply printing things out can
go a long way, but a proper debugger can save a lot of time.
When facing a bug or trying to understand how the code works, simply printing things out can go a
long way, but a proper debugger can save a lot of time.
You can use a classic Python library debugger (`pdb <https://docs.python.org/3/library/pdb.html>`_,
`pudb <https://pypi.org/project/pudb/>`_ or `ipdb <https://pypi.org/project/ipdb/>`_) or you can
use your editor's debugger. To avoid difficult configurations in the beginning, it is
easier if you use a library debugger.
`pudb <https://pypi.org/project/pudb/>`_ or `ipdb <https://pypi.org/project/ipdb/>`_), or you can
use your editor's debugger.
In the following example we use ipdb, but the process is similar with other libraries.
- Install the library:
#. Install the library:
.. code-block:: console
.. code-block:: console
pip3 install ipdb
pip install ipdb
- Trigger (breakpoint):
#. Place a trigger (breakpoint):
.. code-block:: console
.. code-block:: python
import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()
import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()
Example:
.. example::
.. code-block:: python
:emphasize-lines: 2
.. code-block:: python
:emphasize-lines: 2
def copy(self, default=None):
import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()
self.ensure_one()
chosen_name = default.get('name') if default else ''
new_name = chosen_name or _('%s (copy)') % self.name
default = dict(default or {}, name=new_name)
return super(Partner, self).copy(default)
def copy(self, default=None):
import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()
self.ensure_one()
chosen_name = default.get('name') if default else ''
new_name = chosen_name or _('%s (copy)') % self.name
default = dict(default or {}, name=new_name)
return super(Partner, self).copy(default)
Here is a list of commands:
.. option:: h(elp) [command]
Without an argument, print the list of available commands. With a command as an argument, print help
about that command.
Print the list of available commands if not argument is supplied. With a command as an argument,
print the help about that command.
.. option:: pp expression
The value of the ``expression`` is pretty-printed using the ``pprint`` module.
The value of the `expression` is pretty-printed using the `pprint` module.
.. option:: w(here)
Print a stack trace, with the most recent frame at the bottom.
Print a stack trace with the most recent frame at the bottom.
.. option:: d(own)
Move the current frame one level down in the stack trace (to a newer frame).
Move the current frame one level down in the stack trace (to a newer frame).
.. option:: u(p)
Move the current frame one level up in the stack trace (to an older frame).
Move the current frame one level up in the stack trace (to an older frame).
.. option:: n(ext)
Continue the execution until the next line in the current function is reached or it returns.
Continue the execution until the next line in the current function is reached or it returns.
.. option:: c(ontinue)
Continue the execution and only stop when a breakpoint is encountered.
Continue the execution and only stop when a breakpoint is encountered.
.. option:: s(tep)
Execute the current line, stop at the first possible occasion (either in a function that is
called or on the next line in the current function).
Execute the current line. Stop at the first possible occasion (either in a function that is
called or on the next line in the current function).
.. option:: q(uit)
Quit the debugger. The program being executed is aborted.
Quit the debugger. The program being executed is aborted.
.. tip::
----
To avoid killing the worker when debugging, you can add these arguments when launching the
server: `--limit-time-cpu=9999 --limit-time-real=9999`
Another solution is to add them directly in the `~/.odoorc` file:
.. code-block:: console
$ cat ~/.odoorc
[options]
limit_time_cpu = 9999
limit_time_real = 9999
