If I design a module, I can perform:
odoo -d mydatabase -u all
in order to update all modules.
However, if I want to update just one module I would expect that:
odoo -d mydatabase -u my_module_name
would fit
But it does not, I just changed the name of the module and after updating using -u my_module_name does not work.
If you change the name of an already installed module, then a couple of things will happen.
Firstly, when Odoo server starts, it will be looking for the already installed module - under the old name, which does not exist.
When it doesn't find that module, it will ignore it and pretend as if it is not installed.
Thus, the command you are running - update "new_module_name" will also not run because Odoo does not see "new_module_name" as already installed.
To fix this, do the following steps:
Load Odoo server normally & uninstall the old_module_name
Either install new_module_name through the Apps section or run the command line command "odoo -d mydatabase -i new_module_name --without-demo=new_module_name"
Now the new_module_name will be installed and future attempts to upgrade through command line will run normally.
What --without-demo does?
If a module has demo data, --without-demo specifies that it should not be installed.
Thanks for your answers
I was doing a test with a dummy module (foo_module).
In __manifest__.py I use the name:
'name': "Dummy Module",
I do:
odoo -d my_database -u all
And I can see the module ready to be installed in the module list.
Now, if I stop server, change __manifest__.py to:
'name': "Dummy Module 2",
and run:
odoo -d my_databse -u foo_module
I would expect to see "Dummy Module 2" as module name in the list of available modules, but I still see "Dummy Module".
Does -u module_name work only with installed modules?
I found that updating module name (inside __manifest__) is actually updated when app list is updated, an option available in the developer mode in Odoo 10 (https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/how-to-install-a-module-in-odoo-10-using-deb-package-in-ubuntu-111949)

what kind of tittle is that? is this some kind of click bait?, check in the logs for correctly modules load, maybe you have some kind of missing dependencies
No click baits at all Axel, title refers to how to update modules and body highlights doubts about that. Something that might seem obvious is not so obviously covered by the docs (it is actually still TODO in docs http://odoo-development.readthedocs.io/en/latest/odoo/usage/install-module.html)
