A command-line tool to spin up isolated Odoo dev environment in seconds.

pip install odoo-venv

Example:

odoo-venv create 17.0 \
    --odoo-dir ~/code/odoo/odoo/17.0 \
    --addons-path ~/code/odoo/addons/web,~/code/odoo/addons/mail \
    --python-version 3.10 \
    --install-addons-dirs-requirements \
    --extra-requirement "debugpy,ipython"

This command creates a virtual environment for Odoo 17.0 with the following specifications:

• Odoo source is located at ~/code/odoo/odoo/17.0.
• Additional addons are in ~/code/odoo/addons/web and ~/code/odoo/addons/mail.
• The environment uses Python 3.10.
• It installs dependencies from requirements.txt files found in the addons paths.
• It also installs debugpy and ipython.

For recurring configurations, you can define presets in a presets.toml file, in ~/.local/share/odoo-venv/.

There are 4 out-of-box presets: local, demo, project, ci (see src/odoo_venv/assets/presets.toml)

Example:

odoo-venv create 17.0 \
    --odoo-dir ~/code/odoo/odoo/17.0 \
    --addons-path ~/code/odoo/addons/web,~/code/odoo/addons/mail \
    --preset demo

This command will apply all the options from the demo preset. You can still override any preset option by providing a direct CLI argument. For example, to use a different extra_requirement for a specific run:

odoo-venv create 17.0 \
    --odoo-dir ~/code/odoo/odoo/17.0 \
    --addons-path ~/code/odoo/addons/web,~/code/odoo/addons/mail \
    --preset demo \
    --extra-requirement "pylint"

The tool can also be used as lib in a custom python script

Example:

from odoo_venv import create_odoo_venv

create_odoo_venv(
    odoo_version="17.0",
    odoo_dir="~/code/odoo/odoo/17.0",
    venv_dir="./.venv",
    python_version="3.10",
    addons_paths=["~/code/odoo/addons/web", "~/code/odoo/addons/mail"],
    install_addons_dirs_requirements=True,
    extra_requirements=["debugpy", "ipython"],
)
