I'm new to development of Odoo modules and I'm going through the Training module, but I'm trying to do so with something that is going to be functional for my company. I'm just trying to test that the module is creating the model properly, creating the appropriate database table fields. Unfortunately nothing is being created and it doesn't look like the module is being loaded correctly.
The module files are stored in addons\baz_test
manifest.py and models\baz_test.py included (some text changes have been made to name,descroption and author for the manifest, and _name and _description changed in baz_test.py
manifest.py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
{
'name': 'Baz Test',
'version': '1.0',
'description': 'A module to store data for a module test made by baz. Desc matches OG desc length',
'installable': True,
'application': True,
'auto_install': False,
'depends':["base"],
'author': 'Baz' ,
'category': 'Customizations',
"license" : "LGPL-3"
}
models\baz_test.py
from odoo import models, api, fields
class WMQuotesDashboard(models.Model):
_name = "baz.test"
_description = "Baz Test"
_order = "quote_date"
_rec_name = 'quote_date'
quote_date = fields.Date(string='Quotation Date', required=True)
user_id = fields.Many2one("res.users", string="User", required=True)
amount_total = fields.Monetary(currency_field='currency_id', required=True, string="Total Quotes")
currency_id = fields.Many2one("res.currency", string="Currency")
when running Odoo with -u baz_test this is the following output...
2023-11-02 22:42:19,248 12264 INFO odoo odoo.addons.base.models.ir_module: ALLOW access to module.update_list on [] to user __system__ #1 via n/a

I was expecting the module to load and for the PostGreSQL DB to update with a new table and associated fields.
I've tried changing the manifest, ensuring that the model name is the same as the folder name, and using the folder name as the name for the -u argument and everything seems in order. So I don't know why the module isn't being installed and the tables/columns added.
I'm just trying to get the model before even attempting getting the views sorted. I've checked and the model is installed
EDIT: Add some changes resolving some code issues that I've solved but still haven't added the model. I also have verified that the model is up to date and installed. (ir_module_module) shows 'Baz Test' is installed but there's no indications of data available.
The -u parameter does not install an uninstalled module it is for updating an already installed module.
You need to use the -i parameter. Keep in mind that both of these parameter require you to specify the exact database you want the module installed/updated on via the -d parameter. It would also help if you posted the full command you use to run Odoo because maybe something else is also wrong.
If you still can't manage to install it via parameters you can always just go into Odoo and install the module from the Apps menu which will then create your table in the database.
