in the Odoo user interface we can update module list from settings, at "Settings/Modules/Update Module List"...

How to do the same operation with command line (using odoo.py) ?

I found related question [1] , but with no answer... [1] https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/update-from-command-line-exactly-as-fast-as-via-update-module-list-in-ui-75449

and another one with an accepted answer: https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/is-update-module-list-from-command-line-possible-54578 but

 ./odoo.py -u base
takes too long, however when we update list from ui, it's fairly faster then update of base module with -u base or -i base... so it's not the same operation or equivalent...

You can create xml-file that calls ir.module.module objects update_list function. Like this:

<openerp>
    <data>
        <function model="ir.module.module" name="update_list"/>
    </data>
</openerp>


Now if you add this xml-file to module data (like you would add any other view definition or other xml-files) that update_list function gets called every time you update this module. For example you added this to a new module named "your_custom_module_updater",  so now you can start odoo with:

./odoo.py -u your_custom_module_updater 

and that module list should update every time from now on. 

*note: you still need to manually update the list for your_custom_module_updater to install it :)

For odoo10, How this command work? Because ./odoo.py not work for odoo10, we start our server with ./odoo-bin

Hello,

You can update module using below command.

./odoo.py -u modulename -d databasename

Thanks.

I guess that's valid AFTER you have stopped the server AND reside inside of /opt/odoo/odoo-server, right?

Solanki Shamji

Depend on service restart. If you use --xmlrpc-port=9999 or any port than no need to stop server which are running on 8069.

in case of odoo 10

first grant all privileges to the db for the user.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE "my_db" to my_user;

then open terminal ctrl + t

sudo su postgres

cd path to odoo

./odoo-bin -u module_name -d db_name
