OD108 group-operator-renamed¶

Field attribute group_operator is renamed aggregator.

What it reports¶

A field declared with a group_operator argument, in a module of series 18.0 or later.

Why it matters¶

The attribute sets how list and pivot views aggregate the field when records are grouped, such as sum, avg or max. Odoo 18.0 renamed it aggregator. Odoo 18.0 and 19.0 still accept the old name, with a deprecation warning each time the field is set up. 20.0 no longer knows it: Odoo logs an unknown parameter warning and the field falls back to its default aggregate, a sum for numeric fields and none for the others, so grouped views show other totals with no error.

Modules of earlier series are not checked, since group_operator is the right name there.

Example¶

class ProjectTask(models.Model):
    _inherit = "project.task"

    x_effort_score = fields.Float(group_operator="avg")

From 20.0 the score is summed in grouped views instead of averaged.

class ProjectTask(models.Model):
    _inherit = "project.task"

    x_effort_score = fields.Float(aggregator="avg")

Fixing¶

oscn check --fix renames group_operator= to aggregator=, unless the call also passes aggregator= or unpacks a dict with **.

See fixing findings.

Suppressing¶

x_effort_score = fields.Float(group_operator="avg")  # odooscan: ignore[OD108]
