Automating Odoo module upgrades across major versions requires handling core absorption, module adaptation, and dependency resolution. This process ensures custom modules become installable and functional on the new version within a single PR.

Core absorption during an Odoo module upgrade is the process where features from custom modules are integrated into the Odoo core. The upgrade workflow absorbs these modules into core and adapts the remaining code to ensure functionality on the new version.

To upgrade custom Odoo modules from version 16 to 17, you can use an automated upgrade command. This delegates the process to handle core absorption, adapt code, and resolve dependencies, ensuring all modules are reviewed in dependency order within one PR.

Yes, performing an automated Odoo module upgrade requires access to both the module code and an active Odoo instance. This access allows the workflow to properly resolve dependencies and adapt the modules to the target version environment.

The best way to handle Odoo dependency resolution during a version upgrade is to use an automated workflow that reviews all modules in dependency order. This ensures that core absorption and adaptation are processed sequentially within a single PR.

Odoo module upgrades fail when core absorption is unhandled, leaving custom features incompatible with the new core. Automating the upgrade process addresses this by absorbing modules into core and adapting the remaining code for functionality.
