Odoo Attrs replacer

As Odoo changed the attrs to (no more attrs) in v17, I created this little script to help you replace all attrs in your XML files with corresponding attributes in the XML directly.

Dependencies

Simply install with

pip install beautifulsoup4 lxml

OR

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Launch the python script

python3 replace_attrs.py

It will ask you the root directory to check for XML files. You can give a project's absolute path.

If no arguments are given, it will use the current directory.

The script will ask you, for each file, if you want to replace all attrs= and states= with related attrs (invisible,readonly,required,column_invisible) - (invisible concatenation or creation for states) in the tag (for all instances per tag).

Unless you chose in the beginning 'y' for auto-replace (don't ask for each file)

Found a flaw ?

Please open an Issue or make a PR or contact me on LinkedIn (Pierre Locus)

Please include a Minimal Reproducible Example in your PR if you find a bug.

Thanks in advance!

TODO:

• Support missing operators "=?", "child_of", "parent_of" (less used than the others already supported)
