For developers who want to get genuinely fast at Odoo debugging: finding and fixing issues quickly, understanding how the system works inside, and handling hard problems at a Senior / Tech Lead level.

What You’ll Gain

• An understanding of Odoo’s internal mechanics.
• Confident use of debugging tools at all levels (Python, ORM, PostgreSQL, frontend, profiling).
• Skills for rapid issue detection and troubleshooting in Local/Dev/Production environments.

Course Modules

1. Python/Odoo: Basic Level

2 lessons

Master the essential debugging tools and mechanisms to understand how programs run and how to quickly identify issues.

• • Classical debugging in Python and Odoo: callstack, params, traceback.
• • The internal request loop, how Odoo processes an HTTP request from start to finish.
• • ORM internals, fields.__get__, __set__, compute/inverse/depends/onchange/related, client triggers, prefetching, caching.

2. Python/Odoo: Advanced Level

3 lessons

Learn the internal mechanics of request handling and ORM behavior to understand how the system works and how to catch any issue.

• Methods of continuous development via debugger.
• Connecting debugpy in Docker/WSL/SSH, live-debugging on remote servers.
• Odoo env, context, cache.

3. Odoo Logs

2 lessons

Learn how to read and configure logs: what matters, what doesn’t, and how to search and parse logs without losing context.

• Analyzing Odoo logs (Werkzeug, psycopg2, etc.) and logging levels. PostgreSQL logs.
• Principles of effective logging, what to write, when, and how.

4. PostgreSQL

2 lessons

Understand how queries behave at the DBMS level and how to identify “heavy” operations.

• Database in action: EXPLAIN, process activity, slow queries, locks.
• ORM-level SQL issues, diagnostics and solutions. Fast methods to detect bottlenecks.

5. Frontend Debugging

1 lesson

Learn to debug the client side, from network requests to JavaScript errors.

• Chrome DevTools: network, latency, UI errors. Diagnosing JavaScript ↔ backend interactions in Odoo.

6. Python Profiling/Metrics

2 lessons

A powerful debugging tool that lets you see the application from the profile’s perspective. Very effective for understanding execution flow in Python/Odoo.

• Python/Odoo profiling tools. Methods for finding bottlenecks and a practical set of fast fixes.

7. Odoo Multi-Workers

2 lessons

Understand how Odoo’s worker processes operate and how to identify concurrency issues.

• Types of worker processes, gevent specifics, concurrency pitfalls.
• Additions to previous modules for multi-threaded systems.

8. Bash Debugging

1 lesson

Learn to quickly diagnose environment issues, cron jobs, and services from the command line.

• Key CLI commands: environment diagnostics, cron, Odoo services. Log inspection from the terminal, essential knowledge for every developer.

9. Final Module: A Complete Debugging Strategy

2 lessons

Integrate everything into a single workflow, from diagnostics to preventing issues.

• Combining all tools into a unified debugging strategy. Step-by-step problem-source identification.
• Common production scenarios and practical hacks to prevent issues early in development.
