Here is the story of the problem: back in 10.0, everything *seemed*
fine with button rendering except it was very messy duplicated codes.
The system was still not consistent:
-> In Header, button with:
no class -> btn-default
btn-primary -> btn-default btn-primary
oe_highlight -> btn-primary
btn-default -> btn-default
btn-link -> btn-default btn-link
oe_link -> btn-default oe_link
btn-danger -> btn-default btn-danger
some_class -> btn-default some_class
-> Not in header, button with:
no class -> no class
btn-primary -> btn-primary
oe_highlight -> btn-primary
btn-default -> btn-default
btn-link -> btn-link
oe_link -> oe_link
btn-danger -> btn-danger
some_class -> some_class
So, outside the header, the system seemed to not process anything except
transforming the oe_highlight class. In the header, the btn-default was
always added, except if using the oe_highlight class. The style is fine
for those, except for .btn-default.btn-link and .btn-default.oe_link
where the link class has no effect (which is fine as header are not
supposed to contain links).
In 11.0, the new views were introduced alongside websitepocalypse. The
new system led to:
-> In Header, button with:
no class -> btn-default
btn-primary -> btn-default btn-primary
oe_highlight -> btn-default oe_highlight
btn-default -> btn-default
btn-link -> btn-default btn-link
oe_link -> btn-default oe_link
btn-danger -> btn-default btn-danger
some_class -> btn-default some_class
-> Not in header, button with:
no class -> btn-default
btn-primary -> btn-primary
oe_highlight -> oe_highlight
btn-default -> btn-default
btn-link -> btn-link
oe_link -> oe_link
btn-danger -> btn-danger
some_class -> some_class
So, it worsened the header button by not processing the oe_highlight
class and adding the btn-default class in all cases. This is even
worse since in 11.0 .btn-default.btn-link do have a specific style and
thus not appear as .btn-default anymore. Those may be invisible "bugs"
though as .btn-link are not supposed to be in header and oe_highlight
is styled correctly in css. For buttons outside the header, a little
processing was added to add "btn-default" class for buttons which did
not specified a class (and oe_highlight is not processed anymore there
too).
In master, with the less2scss task, the system had to change again but
led this time to visible bugs:
-> In Header, button with:
no class -> btn-default
btn-primary -> btn-primary
oe_highlight -> btn-primary
btn-default -> btn-default
btn-link -> btn-link
oe_link -> btn-link
btn-danger -> btn-danger
some_class -> some_class
-> Not in header, button with:
no class -> btn-default
btn-primary -> btn-primary
oe_highlight -> btn-primary
btn-default -> btn-default
btn-link -> btn-link
oe_link -> btn-link
btn-danger -> btn-danger
some_class -> some_class
As you can see, the system is now the same for both header button and
normal buttons. The system is also better for all cases as it produce
only *one* *bootstrap* class for all cases. However, the problematic
case is the last one for header buttons: it did not receive the
btn-default class automatically. Even though this is the API for the
rest of odoo (dialogs, renderButton (old WidgetButton), ...), this is
a problem here as fixing this would require to add the 'btn-default'
class in every view which is using this case.
While waiting for a better solution, this commit is instead forcing
the btn-default class in that header case only (so only when a class
was mentioned but it did not contain any bootstrap btn type class).
So the new system gives:
-> In Header, button with:
no class -> btn-default
btn-primary -> btn-primary
oe_highlight -> btn-primary
btn-default -> btn-default
btn-link -> btn-link
oe_link -> btn-link
btn-danger -> btn-danger
some_class -> btn-default some_class
-> Not in header, button with:
no class -> btn-default
btn-primary -> btn-primary
oe_highlight -> btn-primary
btn-default -> btn-default
btn-link -> btn-link
oe_link -> btn-link
btn-danger -> btn-danger
some_class -> some_class
This commit also adds tests which will prevent the system to change
again without noticing it.
