I am writting a new module which includes views customization through XML.

While writting the XML, it seems that I have referenced a non-existing field in XML, but now I can not start odoo again, even when I change the XML file.

Is it possible to fully deinstall the module from command line? Is it possible to stuck the server becuase of a bad module?

Error context:
View `sale.margin.percent.view.form`
[view_id: 797, xml_id: sale_margin_percent.sale_margin_percent_u5, model: sale.order, parent_id: 794]

 The XML no longer has that part of code caussing the issue. The problem is that at the end I get "Too many redirects" in Chrome and I can no longer access the application.

After making the change, did you try updating the module via command line:

./openerp-server -u <your_module_name> -d test1

This should probably work.

If not, you can also try querying the module list table:

select state from ir_module_module where name='module_name';

The state will probably be 'installed'

You could try setting it to 'uninstalled':

update ir_module_module set state='uninstalled' where name='module_name';

Then try restarting the server.i

This should only be done on a Dev server - it is more a hack than a solution. Just updating the module through command line should work.

If none of the options from Shawn Varghese work, try stopping the server and commenting out in the __openerp__.py file the view causing the problem:

"data": [

"views/name_of_view_raising_errors.xml"

],


Then start the server again, fix the code and upgrade the module when you are done.

Oh yea, you're right ! I missed this out.... this should probably be the first thing to try

Thanks both of you. I finally managed to startup the server by modifying the code but keeping the modification chunks previously defined (instead of removing them up). It seems that once certain code is in place, you can only modify in a way where the previous change is updated. Weird behaviour.

I keep your solutions for future as I guess this will happen from time to time.
