SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill aids in identifying changes like renames, removals, and breaking API changes in Odoo target versions during migrations, ensuring compatibility and smooth upgrades.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Target Source Search: Search for symbols, models, fields, and behaviors in target version sources.
  • Compatibility Validation: Ensure custom modules are compatible with the target version.
  • Use Case: Use it during migration to check if a method or model behaves as expected in the target version.

Quick Start

Run the migration_search_target_source skill with the pattern 'def action_invoice_open' and path 'addons/account' to check if a method exists in the target version.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find breaking API changes and renames when migrating custom Odoo modules?

To find breaking API changes during Odoo migration, search the target version source code for specific symbols, models, and fields to identify renames, removals, and behavioral modifications. This validates whether your custom modules remain compatible with the new target version.

How do I check if a specific method still exists in the target Odoo version source code?

You can check if a method exists in the target Odoo version by running a source code search with the specific method pattern, such as 'def action_invoice_open', and the relevant addons path. This parses Python code to confirm the symbol's presence and expected behavior.

Does Odoo migration compatibility validation require access to the target version source code?

Yes, Odoo migration compatibility validation requires direct access to the target version source code. The process parses Python code within the target sources to accurately identify API changes, removed fields, and renamed models that could impact your custom modules.

What is the best way to validate custom module compatibility before upgrading to a new Odoo version?

The best way to validate custom module compatibility is executing a targeted source search across the target Odoo version. This identifies breaking changes, removed methods, and altered APIs, ensuring your custom modules function correctly before completing the upgrade.

Why does my custom Odoo module fail after migration due to removed or renamed model fields?

Custom Odoo modules fail after migration when target versions contain breaking changes like removed fields or renamed models. Searching the target source code identifies these specific API changes, allowing you to update Python code and restore compatibility.

Can I use source code parsing to detect API changes across different Odoo addons directories?

Yes, you can use source code parsing to detect API changes across Odoo addons directories. By specifying a search pattern and a target path like 'addons/account', the tool parses Python code to locate methods, models, and fields within that specific addon scope.
