I just commited in addons-community a module to make it very simple for developers (de)serialize OpenObject records into/from XML documents. Below is the README.txt file.
Simple XML (de)serialization for OpenObject. Summary: -------- The goal of this module is to provide a very simple, yet powerful mechanism for serializing and deserializing into/from XML OpenObject records. Usage: ------ You can check general usage on test_*.py files, which provide unit tests. To serialize a object you simply >>> self.pool.get('myobject').to_xml(cr, uid, ids, 'root_tag', >>> bindings, context) which will return a lxml.etree.Element object with can be further manipulated. The "'root_tag'" string is the the tag of the root element. The only strange argument is the 'bindings' where you map object column's into XML elements. Check osv_xml.to_xml method's documentation for details and the unit test for usage. To deserialize >>> self.pool.get('myobject').from_xml(cr, uid, xml, bindings) which will result in a dictionary just like the one needed as argument for 'write' or 'create' osv methods. Running Tests: -------------- 1) Start an OpenERP server instance 2) Install the base_xml_simple module 3) Check the parameters for XML-RPC connection in run_tests.py * By default, will connect to: - server: localhost - database: terp - username: admin - password: admin 4) $ python run_tests.py FAQ: ---- 1) Why not use OpenObjects unit testing? A: Because it runs every time the server is started and I don't like this behavior. So I've chosen to create a RPC accessible class that will run the tests and blows up on any error. -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openobject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=54184#54184 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman2/listinfo/tinyerp-users
