Debug in PyCharm - where is the source code in the odoo image?

[mikerocker11]

Hi,

I recently switched from a source-based installation to a Docker-based setup. Here's the docker-compose.yml file I'm using:

version: '3.1'
services:
  web:
    image: odoo:17.0
    depends_on:
      - db
    ports:
      - "8069:8069"
    volumes:
      - odoo-web-data:/var/lib/odoo
      - ./config:/etc/odoo
      - ./addons:/mnt/extra-addons
    environment:
      - PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/postgresql_password
    secrets:
      - postgresql_password
  db:
    image: postgres:15
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_DB=postgres
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/postgresql_password
      - POSTGRES_USER=odoo
      - PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata
    volumes:
      - odoo-db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata
    secrets:
      - postgresql_password
volumes:
  odoo-web-data:
  odoo-db-data:

secrets:
  postgresql_password:
    file: odoo_pg_pass

When I was using the source-based installation, I was able to configure PyCharm correctly for debugging. My question is:

Where can I find the source code for the odoo:17.0 image so that I can assign it to a volume, view the code in PyCharm, and set breakpoints?

The odoo Dockerfile does a pip install of the odoo package, so on my odoo:15 pip show odoo returns Location: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages. Now for the unfortunate part. The packaging process changes the file hierarchy a little bit, so I think you will need two volumes at least:

• ./odoo/odoo:/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/odoo
• ./odoo/addons:/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/odoo/addons

I haven't tried this myself, as when I get to the level of confusion that makes me want to install a debugger, I write unit tests instead. Another angle of attack might be to try one of the community container images that is already set up for debugging:
