The previous commit moved to /jsonrpc, which the v19 docs list as deprecated
alongside /xmlrpc — both go away in Odoo 22. The actual v19 external API is
JSON-2: POST /json/2/<model>/<method>, API key as a bearer token.
Three consequences, all of which change calling code:
- no uid and no password; UID now comes from res.users/context_get
- every argument is named, positional args do not exist, so x() becomes
x(model, method, ids=None, **kwargs) and callers pass domain=/vals=/fields=
- one call is one transaction and nothing chains, which is the mechanical
reason state changes must go through a button method
Batching: no multi-call envelope exists, so batching means widening a call, not
bundling calls. Added get_or_create_many() (one search_read + one create for a
whole set) and put build_demo.py's product, customer, vehicle, invoice and
headroom loops through set-based calls.
test_odoo_connect.py checks the call shape and the batching offline, with a
faked urlopen — none of this can be exercised without a live instance otherwise.
