Selecting addons

Manifestoo works on lists of addons. The options starting with --select are used to tell it which addons to work on.

Tip

The addons selection options below are additive.

Selecting all addons in a directory

--select-addons-dir (or -d for short) lets you select all addons in a directory.

Tip

This option may be repeated to select several directories.

Tip

Addons that have the installable flag set to False, or addons with a missing or invalid manifest are ignored.

Selecting individual addons

With --select-include (abbreviated --select), you can provide a comma-separated list of addon names.

Tip

This is useful for instance with the tree command, so to display the dependency tree of your great application, use: manifestoo --select my_great_app tree.

Selecting Odoo core addons

It is sometimes useful to know the list of core Odoo addons from the community and enterprise editions. The --select-core-addons option lets you do just that.

Manifestoo will try to detect the Odoo version from the version key of addons found in the addons search path. If it cannot detect it, you can provide it with --odoo-series.

So for example, this will print the list of core Odoo addons for Odoo version 13.0:

manifestoo --select-core-addons --odoo-series=13.0 list

Note

The list of core Odoo addons is static and part of the manifestoo release.

Selecting found addons

You can use --select-found to include all addons that are found in the addons search path.

Excluding addons

With --select-exclude, you can provide a comma separated list of addons to exclude from the selection.

Add --exclude-core-addons and only non-core addons will be selected.

This can be useful in combination with --select-addon-dir.
