Getting started

• Open the folder (or workspace) that contains the odoo, upgrade and/or custom addons repositories.
  • Check the Odoo Dev Activity Bar on the left to see if the repositories are loaded.
• Open the settings and search for "odoo dev".
  • Look for Config Path setting to specify the path of the config file that will be used for starting the odoo server.
• Open command palette and type "odoo dev" to see the list of available commands.

Recommendations

• Install pydevd-odoo for better display of the recordset objects during debugging.
• Install the Python extension (ms-python.python). The selected python interpreter using this extension will be used to run the odoo server.

Known Limitations

Questions you might ask (FAQ)

• Why is the Odoo Dev: Start Server command not using the correct python interpreter?
  • Run the command Python: Select Interpreter to specify the python interpeter that will be used in your current workspace.
• Why did you waste your time on this?
  • I don't know. Perhaps I just want to learn more about VS Code extension creation.
  • It's actually not easy to track many tasks. This helped me a lot in switching between them.
