server-tools/shell

CLI shell for Odoo
==================

Makes available in Odoo 8 the `shell` server command available for Odoo 9.

Installation
============

Just install the module.

Configuration
=============

Nothing special to be configured.

Usage
=====

To have this feature available this module just need to be in the
addons path. To use it, in a terminal window run:

    $ ./odoo.py shell -d <dbname>

This will initialize a server instance and then jump into a Pyhton
interactive shell, with full access to the Odoo API.

Example session:

    >>> self
    res.users(1,)
    >>> self.name
    u'Administrator'
    >>> self._name
    'res.users'
    >>> self.env
    <openerp.api.Environment object at 0xb3f4f52c>
    >>> self.env['res.partner'].search([('name', 'like', 'Ag')])
    res.partner(7, 51)
    
    
Troubleshooting
===============

If the command does nothing, or if you have the error::

    Usage: odoo.py [options]

    odoo.py: error: unrecognized parameters: 'shell'

it is surely because of the order of the parameters. Try the following::

    $ ./odoo.py --addons-path=<your_path1>,<your_path2> shell --config=<your_config_file> -d <dbname>
