ODEV Commands Skill

This skill provides instructions on how to use odev (Odoo Development CLI) during upgrade tasks.

🛑 MANDATORY RULES (ODEV CLI USAGE)

1. VERSIONING: You MUST specify the Odoo version explicitly using the -V <version> flag when creating a database (odev create). For other commands like odev run, odev shell, or odev test, the -V flag is optional if the database already exists, as odev will automatically infer the version from the database. However, if you are targeting a specific version that differs from the database or if the database does not exist, specifying -V is required.

   • Example: odev run -V 19.0 ...

2. ARGUMENT ORDER: odev specific flags (LIKE -V, -f, -c, -w, --venv) MUST come BEFORE the database name.

3. DATABASE CREATION/OVERWRITE: You MUST ALWAYS use the -f (force) flag when creating a database that might already exist to bypass confirmation prompts. "Overwriting" an existing database via odev create REQUIRES -f.
