missing functionality: update list of available modules from the command line

[Alexandre Fayolle - camptocamp]

If I have a new module available, and I want to install it from the command line (in order to automate the deployment), I cannot because the new module is not known by the server (it is not in the ir_module_module table):

$ start_openerp -i account_invoice_force_ref --stop-after-init --workers=0

extract from the log:

2013-06-20 09:05:51,113 11478 WARNING openerp_prod_doremi openerp.modules.loading: invalid module names, ignored: account_invoice_force_ref

AFAICT there is no way to force the reload of available modules from the command line, which would be very helpful in this case.

the start_openerp script mentionned in the bug report comes from anybox' buildout recipe. It is a wrapper around the normal openerp server launching command and arguments are passed to that command.

Currently we have to do "Update Module List" then after it will be available on module list as well as after that we can installed it via command line.

But this would be also a good functionality , So consider as a improvement and setting this as wishlist.

Thank you!

Yes it will be very useful.
