This plugin has been developed by Raphaël Valyi from Akretion and was derived from the official Django generateDS plugin that is documented here: http://www.davekuhlman.org/generateDS.html#django-generating-models-and-forms
This Odoo plugin generate only models. Odoo is able to generate views dynamically alone and we also made the dedicated spec_driven_model Odoo module to help with views. You can read how it evolved from the Django plugin by looking at the commits log.
Disclaimer: we know this code doesn't really look like modern Python. But this is an assumed choice: we prefer not changing the code too much from the original Django plugin so if generateDS evolves it will be easier to follow the changes here.
Although, there are likely other configurations that will work, one reasonably simple way is the following:
Install generateDS:
$ pip install generateDS
Download the source distribution of generateds-odoo with the following:
$ git clone https://github.com/akretion/generateds-odoo
Change directory to the
django
directory (i.e. the directory containing this file):$ cd generateds/django
In that directory, either, (a) create, a symbolic link to
generateDS.py
:$ ln -s ../generateDS.py
Or, (b) copy
generateDS.py
to that directory:$ cp ../generateDS.py .
In that directory, Run
gends_run_gen_odoo.py
. For example:$ # Brazilian electronic invoice: $ python3 gends_run_gen_odoo.py -f -l nfe -x 4_00 -e '^ICMS\d+|^ICMSSN\d+' -d . -v /tmp/generated/schemas/nfe/v4_00/leiauteNFe_v4.00.xsd $ $ # UBL 2.3 invoice: $ python3 gends_run_gen_odoo.py -f -l ubl -x 23 -d . -v /home/rvalyi/DEV/UBL-2.3/xsd/maindoc/UBL-Invoice-2.3.xsd
If the above ran successfully, it should have created these files:
leiauteNFe_v400lib.py UBL-Invoice-23lib.py
