Odoo 11 Development Essentials - Third Edition

The ERPpeek CLI

Not only can ERPpeek be used as a Python library, it is also a CLI that can be used to perform administrative actions on the server. Where the Odoo shell command provided a local interactive session on the host server, the erppeek library provides a remote interactive session for a client across the network.

Opening a command line, we can have a peek at the options available, as shown here:

$ erppeek --help

Let's see a sample session, as follows:

$ erppeek --server='http://localhost:8069' -d todo -u admin
Usage (some commands):
    models(name)                  # List models matching pattern
    model(name)                   # Return a Model instance
(...)
Password for 'admin':
Logged in as 'admin'
todo >>> model('res.users').count()
3
todo >>> rec = model('res.partner').browse(9) ...
