This project serves as a pre-assessment for future applicants of Odev Solutions. If you want to know more about the opportunities, please visit https://www.odevsolutions.com/jobs.
We expect applicants to have a foundational understanding of Odoo and Python. If you are new to Odoo (trust us, it's amazing), please check out the official website and the official developer documentation.
Basic Git knowledge is required. Here are some resources to help you get started: freeCodeCamp: The beginner’s guide to Git & GitHub, Git Immersion.
We use Docker for our development environment. Ensure Docker is installed on your machine by following this guide: Get Docker.
You should also be able to set up an Odoo container using the odoo:17 image. Refer to the usage guide on the page for detailed instructions.
This assessment involves creating a custom Odoo module for a simple library management system. An existing module in this repository can be used as a starting point. Refer to: library.
First, fork this repository and clone it to your local machine. Then add the repository in your Odoo instance's addons path.
Refer to the sample snippet below for quick setup:
# Run postgres container
docker run -d -v odoo-db:/var/lib/postgresql/data -e POSTGRES_USER=odoo -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=odoo -e POSTGRES_DB=postgres --name db postgres:15
# Clone your repository
git clone https://github.com/your-username/library.git
# Run odoo container
docker run -v ./library:/mnt/extra-addons \
--name odoo \
-p 8069:8069 \
--link db:db \
-t odoo:17Note: If this snippet doesn't work for you, please refer to the official documentation for odoo Docker container.
Create a new module named library_extensions. It should depend on the library module.
This is where you will add your code for the other tasks.
Inherit the library.book model and add an author_id field.
- The
author_idfield should be aMany2onefield with theres.partnermodel. - The
author_idfield should be required.
-
Create a new model named

library.booklist view to display the following fields:author_idcategory_id
-
Update the
