Mathieu Benoit 068022db82 [ADD] migration: repair views whose stored type contradicts their parent
Odoo refused to load a database: it validated a <search> arch with tree
rules. The view is not a COW copy -- the COW tools were right to say
they had nothing to reset -- its stored `type` simply lies.

Nothing would ever have fixed it. In ir_ui_view.py, `type` is filled in
`create`, and only when absent; `write` never recomputes it. A wrong
value stays wrong, and `-u module` fails on the validation it causes
before it could rewrite anything.

Plain SQL, no ORM: the registry is what will not load, and a repair that
needed Odoo to fix what stops Odoo would be useless.

The rule is Odoo's own -- an inherited view takes its parent's type --
and it holds: zero disagreement on a pristine 18 install and on four
migrated databases, exactly one on the database that refused to load.

--- FR ---

Odoo refusait de charger une base : il validait un arch <search> avec
les règles d'un tree. La vue n'est pas une copie COW — les outils COW
avaient raison de dire qu'ils n'avaient rien à réinitialiser — c'est son
`type` stocké qui ment.

Rien ne l'aurait jamais réparé. Dans ir_ui_view.py, `type` est rempli
dans `create`, et seulement s'il est absent ; `write` ne le recalcule
jamais. Une valeur fausse le reste, et `-u module` échoue sur la
validation qu'elle provoque avant de pouvoir réécrire quoi que ce soit.

En SQL, sans ORM : c'est le registre qui ne charge plus, et une
réparation qui aurait besoin d'Odoo ne servirait à rien.

La règle est celle d'Odoo — une vue héritée prend le type de son parent
— et elle tient : zéro écart sur une 18 neuve et sur quatre bases
migrées, exactement un sur celle qui refusait de charger.

Migration

Run this script when doing database migration. Example :

source ./.venv.odoo15.0_python3.8.20/bin/activate && cat ./script/odoo/migration/fix_migration_odoo140_to_odoo150.py | ./odoo15.0/odoo/odoo-bin shell -d DATABASE

Check uninstall_module_list_odoo140_to_odoo150.txt

Module lists to uninstall

Before a version bump, the migration uninstalls the modules listed in uninstall_module_list_odoo<from>_to_odoo<to>.txt. Two locations are read, the private one first, and the results are merged (duplicates dropped):

  1. private/odoo/migration/<database>/uninstall_module_list_odooXX0_to_odooYY0.txt — specific to ONE database, not versioned. Which modules must be dropped depends on the data, so this is where nearly every entry belongs.
  2. script/odoo/migration/uninstall_module_list_odooXX0_to_odooYY0.txt — shared defaults, versioned, valid for every database.

Syntax: one module per line, with a justification after #. Commas and several names per line are accepted; blank lines and full-line comments are ignored. A module without a stated reason is flagged at runtime: removing a module is a decision someone must be able to review later.
