Using odoo-ls with odoo-docker setup

[Sekiro19]

Hi, I’m trying to use odoo-ls while running Odoo inside a Docker container.

I have the odoo_ls_server and typeshed set up on my host, but I’m running Odoo in Docker. I’m not sure how to correctly fill odools.toml for this setup.
How should odoo_path and python_path be configured?
Is it possible to run odoo-ls inside the container, or should it run on the host?

any help is appreciated 🙏

Thank you!

EDIT: (i am following odoo-neovim since i use nvim)

Hello @Sekiro19

In this case and in general, odoo_path, python_path, ... should point to paths accessible from the filesystem you run odools on.

Since odoo_ls_server and typeshed are on your host, you will need to add them in your container, you can do that by copying them inside the container, or by mounting their paths inside the container. In any case, that is up to you to decide how you set up your docker container.

In both cases, you should add the paths as they are accessed from inside the container, then it should normally be possible inside the container ( and of course on the host ).

Thank you for contacting us, and let me know if we could help you any further:)

hello @mmahrouss thank you for your reply,
i followed your instructions i mounted the odools into to container

docker-compose.yml:

volumes: 
    - data:/var/lib/odoo 
    - ./config:/etc/odoo 
    - ./addons:/mnt/extra-addons 
    - /home/USER/.local/share/nvim/odoo:/mnt/odools  <---

then i made sure that all paths in odools.toml exist inside the container:

name = "main"
odoo_path = "/var/lib/odoo"
addons_path = [
  "/mnt/extra-addons"
]
python_path = "/usr/bin/python3"
additional_stubs = [
  "/mnt/odools/typeshed/stubs"
]

i got neovim to recognize and run odoo_ls_server (i think this is how you do it idk)

      configs.odoo_ls = {
        default_config = {
          name = "odoo_ls",
          cmd = {
            "docker",
            "exec",
            "-i",
            "odoo17",
            "/mnt/odools/odoo_ls_server",
            "--config-path",
            "/mnt/odools/odools.toml",
            "--stdlib",
            "/mnt/odools/typeshed/stdlib",
            "--logs-directory",
            "/mnt/odools/logs",
          },
          filetypes = { "python", "xml", "javascript" },
          root_dir = lspconfig.util.root_pattern("docker-compose.yml"),
        },
      }

in neovim i can see some typehints and all but i dont have odoo or python module path suggestions:

for example if i do import os or import odoo nothing happens :'(

@Sekiro19 It seems to me that your configuration is well done!

I would like to know which version you are running. As the auto-completion for imports was only introduced in 1.1.0.

Perhaps, if you are running a version before 1.1.0, it would be worth it try and use one of the versions > 1.1.0.

Looking forward to hearing back from you

hi @mmahrouss , we did it! thank you so much i got odools running from inside the container into local neovim.
and yes you where right i was using odoo_ls_server -V 1.0.4
i switched that and stubs for 1.1.2 and now i have auto-complete for odoo and python imports

i still have this common issue in containers which is when i try to go to file under cursor, the path is not recognized.
but i will prob mount source or translate the paths to localhost paths from neovim.
