[15.0][MIG] base_import_async

[Rad0van]

I am building sort of a ETL for migrating/importing lots of data into Odoo 15. Asynchronous import is part of the big picture. To my big surprise I found out the modules are present in 15.0 branch but not installable and not working at all. As I need this functionality right now I have attempted to fix this module and improve it a little bit.

The changes include:

• [FIX] inheriting the correct method (execute_import instead of do) to even make it work
• [FIX][IMP] extend the correct template in 15.0 and apply style to be consistent with the rest of the dialog
• [FIX] update manifest file to 15.0 conventions
• [IMP] add ".csv" to attachment filename if not present - it is always stored as CSV anyway
• [IMP]/[FIX] enforce type and mimetype for attachment to prevent error and provide correct mimetype - see #242 and #295
• [FIX] make it installable as it is working now

Didn't bother with test_base_import_async as that's broken in a different way: it relies on account data not being present in vanilla installation since version 13.0 I guess (account journals with codes CABA, 121000, 400000).

there's already a PR here https://github.com/OCA/queue/pull/430

If you want to move on w/ this PR you must migrate test_base_import_async too.

How on Earth did I miss that? Sorry, my bad.

Well now this is an interesting situation. In 14.0 test_base_import_async is present and marked as installable. But it fails the same way as in 15.0:

That's why I skipped an attempt to migrate this into 15.0

@simahawk any idea what's going on here?

@simahawk would you please re-open this one? One day I'll get to migrate that test case module as well and this one is working. Thank you.

[rousseldenis]

@simahawk @OCA/core-maintainers Could you reopen this ? Thanks

Hi @simahawk @gurneyalex recently merged migration of this module to v16.0(#523 ) that was based on this PR and #485 now closed due inactivity, without migration of test_base_import_async. Is this requirement noi longer needed? how can we proceed so there is no module version gap? FYI @dzungtran89

[simahawk]

@BT-jcolmeiro thanks for the ping. It seems I missed a bunch of notifications. since a while.. Sorry guys :pray:

I'd say we can move on here by starting from scratch from #485 (just reset hard on that branch) to preserve the same history that we have in 16.0.

There are no such account.journal or account.account records to be found in account module nor in the whole 14.0 codebase. That's why I skipped an attempt to migrate this into 15.0

Regarding the test module: That's weird. In fact I don't see the tests of that module running on 14.0. WTH?

For the short term: as this work is pending since quite some time I'd move on w/o test module, especially IF you had the chance to test it in real life and can honestly say "It's fully working".

For the long term, I would consider getting rid of the module and rewrite the tests w/o dependency on account and test the export in the base module by using a base model or a custom one (w/ odoo-test-helper) . To be added to the ROADMAP and maybe w/ a GH issue to not forget about that.

My $0.02.

@sbidoul as you are the author of the test module: WDYT?

[Rad0van]

@simahawk / @hbrunn / @rousseldenis can you maybe reopen this one? If the 16.0 version got accepted without the test module, maybe we can finish this one as well. Will have a look at the test module and see if I'm able to re-create it as part of this one.

[hbrunn]

it is still open

[Rad0van]

it is still open

I must be going blind ;-)

Functional review: It works as expected in my local env.
