Point of Sale not loading javascript files defined in custom modules

[wguerram]

Impacted versions:
11

Steps to reproduce:
Create a new module, add template under views, js and xml under static/src. I'm loading some fields and a new model using load_fields and load_models. See attached screenshots.

If further details are needed I can provide them.

Current behavior:
My code works when I run in development mode with assets but doesn't work when I run in user mode.

I've trying reloading, rebooting, updating my application, changing the files permissions and nothing looks to work.

Expected behavior:
Execute my js file so that new fields and models are loaded to be used in xml files.

Hi @wguerram,

Thank you for your report.
Your templates.xml file looks quite weird though. Why are you putting your custom JS in through an xpath after tests.js? You should do something like this:

<odoo>
    <!--========== [ JavaScript import ] ==========-->
    <template id="assets_backend" name="pos assets" inherit_id="point_of_sale.assets">
        <xpath expr="." position="inside">
            <script type="text/javascript" src="/ss_point_of_sale/static/src/js/ss_point_of_sale.js"/>
        </xpath>
    </template>
</odoo>

Can you try this first please?

Hi @Yenthe666, thanks for taking the time to review this, I really appreciate it. I have no words.

Your solution worked, looks like odoo doesn't like the <script> </script> tag but this <script/>. that did the trick.

Quick question, I see the id label says assets_backend but you'r not including _backend in the inherit_id, is that the standard way?

Hi @wguerram,

No problem, happy it helps.
As for the id label having assets_backend and the inherit_id not having it: I usually add _backend or _frontend so that I know if the assets are for the backend or the Odoo frontend (website). This is a bit personal I guess.
