There's no documentation on creating an automated action. The one there is, is about scheduled actions (ir.cron) https://www.odoo.com/documentation/15.0/developer/reference/backend/actions.html#automated-actions-ir-cron [1] How does one create an automated action via XML? It used to be something like this: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/12.0/addons/base_automation/data/base_automation_demo.xml [2] Bus this file doesn't exists after v12. So the top entry gives this error in v15: raise




raise ParseError('while parsing %s:%s, somewhere inside\n%s' % (
odoo.tools.convert.ParseError: while parsing /home/odoo/src/user/module/views/automated_actions.xml:4, somewhere inside
<record id="test_rule_on_create" model="base.automation">
<field name="name">Base Automation: test rule on create</field>
<field name="model_id" ref="base_automation.model_base_automation_lead_test"/>
<field name="state">code</field>
<field name="code" eval="'records.write({\'user_id\': %s})' % ref('base.user_demo')"/>
<field name="trigger">on_create</field>
<field name="active" eval="True"/>
<field name="model_id" ref="base_automation.model_base_automation_lead_test"/>
<field name="filter_domain">[('state', '=', 'draft')]</field>
</record>

Any help would be appreciated.

try changing model_id to some other models like purchase.purchase_order. I guess odoo15 don't have this model
Also remove duplicate model_id field.

I did what you proposed, but to no avail.

I guess the problem is even before reading the contents, since it throws a parse error instead of complaining about the actual model.

It seems the XML isn't structured correctly or something.

Mr Discovery

Ok, I got it working now.

It was indeed being problematic about the external ID of the model.

I got more feedback in the log when I scrolled up in the server log, which was out of view on default.

Thank you for your help Mohammed Amal N

Hi,

Make sure the references used to other models/ data in xml is available.

here is an example:


  
id="test_rule_on_create" model="base.automation">
  name="name">Base Automation: test rule on create
  name="model_id" ref="purchase.model_purchase_order"/>
  name="state">code
  name="code" eval="'records.write({\'user_id\': %s})' % ref('base.user_demo')"/>
  name="trigger">on_create
  name="active" eval="True"/>
  name="filter_domain">[('state', '=', 'draft')]

Make sure you have purchase and base_automation modules in your dependencies. And demo data activated for the database for this code to work.

Thank You

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<odoo>
<record id="test_rule_on_create" model="base.automation">
<field name="name">Base Automation: test rule on create</field>
<field name="model_id" ref="purchase.model_purchase_order"/>
<field name="state">code</field>
<field name="code" eval="'records.write({\'user_id\': %s})' % ref('base.user_demo')"/>
<field name="trigger">on_create</field>
<field name="active" eval="True"/>
<field name="filter_domain">[('state', '=', 'draft')]</field>
</record>
</odoo>

Added code in comments as there is some problem for me to copy paste in here. don't know why

Mr Discovery

Even this throws a parse error:

I think it bumps on the base.automation model. It probably doesn't work anymore to create records in this fashion.

Mohammed Amal

I just tested this code myself in Odoo 15. Try the code in a new file. Your issue should be coming from some other place

Mr Discovery

Avtor

and base_automation is in the depends section of the manifest

Mr Discovery

Avtor

side question: do you happen to know how to populate the trigger_field_ids field?
I got so far as to provide something like this:
<field name="trigger_field_ids" eval="[(6, 0, [ ref('sale_subscription.date'), ref('module.x_studio_field')])]"/>

But it complains it can't find the external ID
ValueError: <class 'ValueError'>: "External ID not found in the system: sale_subscription.field_date" while evaluating

Mr Discovery

Avtor

I found it: View Metadata after viewing the field in the model, there's the external ID you need to provide
