Before https://github.com/OCA/data-protection/pull/29 there was a race condition where an email could be sent while the same transaction that created the `privacy.consent` record still wasn't committed, producing a 404 error if the user clicked on "Accept" or "Reject" before all mails were sent. To avoid that, a raw `cr.commit()` was issued, but this produced another situation where the user had to wait until the full email queue is cleared to get his page loaded. It wasn't an error, but a long queue meant several minutes waiting, and it's ulikely that an average human is so patient. So, here's the final fix (I hope!). The main problem was that I was looking in the wrong place to send the email. It turns out that the `self.post_message_with_template()` method is absolutely helpless in the case at hand, where these criteria must be met: * E-mail must be enqueued, no matter if there are less or more than 50 consents to send. * The template must be processed per record. * In an ideal world, a `cr.commit()` must be issued after each sent mail. The metod that was being used: * Didn't allow to use `auto_commit` mode. * Only allowed to render the template per record if called with `composition_mode="mass_mail"`. * Only allowed to enqueue emails if called with `composition_mode="mass_post"`. Obviously, I cannot set 2 different values for `composition_mode`, so a different strategy had to be used. I discovered that the `mail.template` model has a helpful method called `send_mail()` that, by default: * Renders the template per record * Enqueues the email * The email queue is cleared in `auto_commit=True` mode. So, from now on, problems are gone: * The user click, or the cron run, will just generate the missing `privacy.consent` records and enqueue mails for them. * The mail queue manager will send them later, in `auto_commit` mode. * After sending the e-mail, this module will set the `privacy.consent` record as `sent`. * Thanks to *not* sending the email, the process the user faces when he hits the "generate" button is faster. * Instructions in the README and text in the "generate" button are updated to reflect this new behavior. * Thanks to the `auto_commit` feature, if Odoo is rebooted in the middle of a mail queue clearance, the records that were sent remain properly marked as sent, and the missing mails will be sent after the next boot. * No hardcoded commits. * No locked transactions. * BTW I discovered that 2 different emails were created when creating a new consent. I started using `mail_create_nolog=True` to avoid that problem and only log a single creation message. Note to self: never use again `post_message_with_template()`.pull/27/head
