anybox.recipe.openerp 1.0

eggs

Starting from version 0.16 of the recipe, you don’t need to put anything in this option by default. But you may specify additional eggs needed by addons, or just useful ones:

eggs =
    ipython
    openobject-library

scripts

The behaviour of this option is slightly modified : by default, no script other than those directly related to OpenERP are generated, but you may specify some explicitely, with the same semantics as the normal behaviour (we simply set an empty default value, which means to not produce scripts):

scripts =
    change_tz

In the current state, beware to not require the same script in different parts or rename them. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/anybox.recipe.openerp/+bug/1020967 for details.

interpreter

This is the default interpreter option of zc.recipe.egg that specifies the name of the Python interpreter that shoud be included in the bin directory of the buildout:

interpreter = erp_python

version

Specifies the OpenERP version to use. It can be:

The version number of an official OpenERP (server, web client or gtk client):

version = 6.0.3

A custom download:

version = url http://example.com/openerp.tar.gz

An absolute or a relative path:

version = path /my/path/to/a/custom/openerp

A custom bzr, hg, git or svn branch or repository. The syntax is the same as the addons option (see below):

version = bzr lp:openobject-server/6.1 openerp61 last:1

A nightly build:

version = nightly 6.1 20120814-233345

or (dangerous):

version = nightly 6.1 latest

addons

Specifies additional addons, either a local path or a repository.

Example:

addons = local ../some/relative/path/for/custom_addons/
         local /some/other/absolute/path/for/custom_addons
         bzr lp:openobject-addons/trunk/    addons0 last:1
         hg  http://example.com/some_addons addons1 default
         git http://example.com/some_addons addons2 master
         svn http://example.com/some_addons addons3 head
         bzr lp:openerp-web/trunk/ openerp-web last:1 subdir=addons

When using local paths you can either specify a directory holding addons, or a single one. In that latter case, it will be actually placed one directory below

For remote repositories the syntax is:

TYPE URL DESTINATION REVISION [OPTIONS]

• TYPE can be bzr, hg, git or svn

• URL is any URL scheme supported by the versionning tool

• DESTINATION is the local directory that will be created (relative or absolute)

• REVISION is any version specification supported (revision, tag, etc.)

• OPTIONS take the form name=value. Currently, only the subdir option is recognized. If used, the given subdirectory of the repository is registered as an addons directory.

Repositories are updated on each build according to the specified revision. You have to be careful with the revision specification.

Buildout offline mode is supported. In that case, update to the specified revision is performed, if the VCS allows it (Subversion does not).

script_name

Startup scripts are created in the bin directory. By default the name is: start_<part_name>, so you can have several startup scripts for each part if you configure several OpenERP servers or clients. You can pass additional typical arguments to the server via the startup script, such as -i or -u options.

You can choose another name for the script by using the script_name option

script_name = start_erp

startup_delay

Specifies a time in seconds to wait within the startup script before actually launching OpenERP. The Gunicorn startup script (see below) is not affected by this setting

startup_delay = 3

with_devtools

Allows to load development and useful testing tools, such as anybox.testing.datetime. False by default:

with_devtools = true

base_url

URL to download official and nightly versions from (assuming the archive filenames are constistent with those in OpenERP download server). This is a basic mirroring capability:

base_url = http://download.example.com/openerp/

openerp-downloads-directory

Specifies the destination download directory for OpenERP archives. The path may be absolute or relative to thebuildout directory. By setting it in your default.cfg, you may share the downloads among different buildouts.

Example:

[buildout]
openerp-downloads-directory = /home/user/.buildout/openerp-downloads

gunicorn

Gunicorn integration is only supported on OpenERP >= 6.1 This options allow to generate a script to start OpenERP with Gunicorn. It currently support two values: direct and proxied

gunicorn = direct

gunicorn = proxied

gunicorn.workers = 8

gunicorn.workers = 4
gunicorn.timeout = 240
gunicorn.max_requests = 2000

OpenERP options

You can define OpenERP options directly from the buildout file. The OpenERP configuration files are generated by OpenERP itself in the buildout etc directory during the first buildout run. You can overwrite these options in from the recipe section of your buildout.cfg. The options must be written using a dotted notation prefixed with the name of the section. The specified options will just overwrite the existing options in the corresponding config files. You don’t have to replicate all the options in your buildout.cfg. If an option or a section does not exist in the openerp config file, it can be created from there.

For example you can specify the xmlrpc port for the server or even an additional option that does not exist in the default config file:

options.xmlrpc_port = 8069
options.additional_option = "foobar"

It will end-up in the server config as:

[options]
xmlrpc_port = 8069
additional_option = "foobar"

For the web client you can specify the company url with:

global.server.socket_port = 8080
openerp-web.company.url = 'http://anybox.fr'

It will modify the corresponding web client config:

[global]
server.socket_port = 8080

[openerp-web]
company.url = 'http://anybox.fr'
