Re: Preparing for Odoo 18

Odoo Community Association (OCA), Virginie Dewulf
Hello,
Welcome in the community!
On YouTube, there is now a dedicated playlist on the topic of OpenUpgrade and migrations from the past OCA Days.
Testing the scripts is a very good way to start contributing to the OpenUpgrade project, indeed. Pay attention to the fact that sometimes the scripts are good but your data cause issues.
To start contributing to review and write the scripts themselves, experience shows that you need to be an Odoo expert from the technical and functional point of view, with at least several years of practice as an Odoo developer, because you need to understand well how things work in the different versions from a technical and functional perspective. So we hope to see you contributing there in a bit!
Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Might be this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx7-PuXCIsY but there could be more. It seems everybody has their own way of doing things; I think what's "common" is to make a "build" for each version and then include OpenUpgrade in it (it could be for example a Doodba docker container, or one of the other build systems that are around - we use our own Doodba-based concoction at https://github.com/sunflowerit/waftlib) and then add OpenUpgrade into the build and run odoo -u on each version in sequence. Whichever build system you choose, like Graeme says, it's handy if gitaggregator is an integral part of it, so that you can easily include patch PR's into the build - your own, or ones from others. With every migration we have done so far there are at least a handful errors that you will run into - usually it's a case of the database in your data being slightly different than a specific OpenUpgrade script expects it to be. It can be all kinds of things, for example it might be that on Odoo 14, it was possible to set a financial ledger account to a certain type that it should not be, and you changed it, but now OpenUpgrade does not cover that specific case. What you can then do is either adjust your data on Odoo 14 manually and try the migration again from start, or to make a migration script yourself, and either run it as a custom script or actually propose it as an addition to OpenUpgrade using a PR. If you're not up to this whole process, what's also a common method for instances without a lot of data is to start over with a fresh Odoo 17 instance and use import/export to get your data across. That's of course also laborious but in some cases it can be a good option._______________________________________________
