IDEA

What about including click create sort kind of command line options (auto generated in an abstract way) to be able to have sort kind of CLI a'la erppeek?

Regards.

Hi @nhomar ,
It's a feature which has been asked a long time ago, and I even started a branch last year about that: https://github.com/sebalix/odoorpc/tree/interactive-shell
But I never take the time to continue this development further. It precisely lacks of a creation of an ODOO session object directly from a config file. Still on my TODO list, but if someone wants to do it, no problem :)

@sebalix

I'll take care from here on a copy of the work you started.

In few days you will receive a PR.

Setting TODO:

• Create basic wrapper on under folder cli, using click.
• Design a solution to use a config file in a local environment (.odoorpc file under .local as standard maybe).
• Make it auto-completion aware.
• Review the requirements.txt.
• Make it pip sustainable and create unit test.
• Improve PR text to allow a proper merge.
• Improve the documentation.

Great! Thank you @nhomar
The work started is not big, feel free to implement this in another way (in a new Python package if you want).

Hello @sebalix

Ok, I will consider it, but I think the more obvious way is here and you have already all the package being managed beautifully then I can follow your quality strategy instead reinvent my own ;-)

But I will check and let you know.

[sebalix]

I misunderstand you, I thought you wanted to create a sort of second package inside this repo. Nevermind, of course a PR against this repository is the way to go.

I think this is already handled with https://github.com/acsone/click-odoo
