Adds note about dev mode toggle #1560
Conversation
|
@javl I wasn't able to replicate this behavior in a test database. I received an error (Module 'saas_trial' cannot be uninstalled), while trying to uninstall the last app, the discuss app. What is the process to have no apps installed? Does this only occur in a subscription activated database? For wording can we adjust the wording to: Note: At least one application needs to be installed for the developer menu option to appear. |

edit: I responded to your message as it appeared in my email, where you mentoned not not being able to replicate this behavior but I just noticed you've removed that line from your post. I'll just leave this response up for completeness sake ;) To replicate:
(You can however enable dev mode at any time using the ctrl+k controlpanel, even without the extra app installed) |

@javl Thanks for the quick response. I notice this is for on-premise only, I tried to replicate on SAAS but I wasn't able to. Is this setting only unavailable to on-premise or local installs and not on SH/SAAS? If so, we will need to adjust the wording a bit, it should be a pretty easy change though! :) Thanks, Tim |

@tiku-odoo For me this was indeed a problem on a local installation (which I think would be the first place to run Odoo for a lot of users?). I'm not sure about SAAS. I guess you'll always run Enterprise on there which might already add some extra apps? Or at least it adds the improved home screen which has a message at the top. The only SAAS installations I have access to we're set up by someone else and I can't really go around messing with them to try this ;) I'd argue the real problem here is that settings menu needing another app to appear, which seems silly, but I assume there's some technical reason for that and just having that extra note in the text should be enough to prevent people from getting too confused (like I was). |

Hi! Can we change this line to:
Note: At least one application needs to be installed for the developer menu option to appear.
Let's remove the familiar second person language and make it less personal.

@javl Are you okay with the above changes? If so, can you update the RST and we will get the doc updated :) Thanks, Tim

@odoo/doc-review I believe this employee has left Odoo. I've made a couple grammatical corrections. Thank you!

Hello @tiku-odoo you need to push your change to the PR's branch if you want to merge your version of the note. Since the patch-2 branch was created from a fork of our documentation repository, it grants us the right to push on javl's branch directly. See bottom of the page for instructions on how to push to a different remote:
Alternatively, you can cherry-pick his commit in a new branch of your own and create a new PR. The authorship on the commit will be kept.

Sorry, I didn't know about this PR and had to retrieve its information, you may have to re-approve it. |

Adds note warning users they need at least one app installed to be able to see the 'enable dev mode' option. Took me a while to figure this out as it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere (in these docs or in the
Development Environment Set-uparticle).
