The goal of this Proof-of-Concept (PoC) is to test if calculated fields are consistently updated when using N8N (with JSON-RPC) to update a contact.
- Install Docker Compose
- Clone this repo
- Install the Ansible Odoo Scripts
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mint-system/ansible-build/main/roles/odoo_scripts/files/install | bash
In this scenario, the module is installed directly when launching Odoo, by
adding --init demo_rpc_write to the launch command in Docker Compose.
- Run
docker-compose -f docker-compose_with-installation.yml up
Results
- For both methods (using the @api.depends decorator and overwriting the write() method), the calculated fields are consistently updated
- Tested with Odoo 16 and Odoo 17
In this scenario, the module is installed after launching Odoo, by
launching docker-odoo-init with the running container.
- Run
docker-compose -f docker-compose_without-installation.yml up - Run
docker-odoo-init -c "demo-odoo-rpc_odoo_1" -d "poc" -i "demo_rpc_write"
Results
- For both methods (using the @api.depends decorator and overwriting the write() method), the calculated fields are consistently updated if the container is restarted.
- Without a restart, Odoo seems to fall into an undefined state, which caused different problems after each test run.
- Tested with Odoo 16
