Odoo Idiosyncrasies

This is a collection of notes about Odoo, its ORM and „framework“.

The idea is to have a collection of data that I can come back to later, so please forgive the absence of structure.

active_test in BaseModel.search_read

Some times I read active_test, but could never find its usage. Here it is. Very Odoo like (from BaseModel.search_read):

        # read() ignores active_test, but it would forward it to any downstream search call
        # (e.g. for x2m or function fields), and this is not the desired behavior, the flag
        # was presumably only meant for the main search().
        # TODO: Move this to read() directly?
        if 'active_test' in self._context:
            context = dict(self._context)
            del context['active_test']
            records = records.with_context(context)
