Breaking Changes

  • Calling arbitrary methods from action-method or with call: is not allowed.

    All such methods should be annotated with @CallMethod annotation (com.axelor.meta.CallMethod). Use following shell command to find all the method calls in your code base:

    $ grep -P "(expr)(\s*=\s*)(\"call:([^\"]+\([^\"]+)\")" -r * -oh --include="*.xml" \
  | cut -d\" -f2 \
  | sed -E 's|call:\s*||g' | cut -d\( -f1 | sort -u

  • Scripting expressions in xml actions are now not silent on errors.

    All errors during expression evaluation except missing attribute error are propagated to the user so evaluation of such expressions will fail and ultimately actions too.

  • DMS permissions (requires manual intervention)

    DMS permissions are created and removed recursively for all children documents/folders. The perm.dms.file.__parent__ permission is no longer used. Also, DMS permissions are readonly once created, but can be removed.

    Remove DMS file related permissions (permissions with a name starting with perm.dms.file). Those permissions will be recreated and updated after adding new DMS permissions. Remove and add back DMS permissions on your documents from the DMS view.

  • The context.appLogo method should now use helper MetaFiles#getDownloadLink instead of returning MetaFile.

  • On ManyToOne fields, canEdit attribute is false by default now.

  • The freeSearch="name" to search on name field should be changed to freeSearch="actualNameField"

  • The cachable attribute on entity definition is now deprecated and replaced with cacheable.

    $ find -iregex ".*domains.*.xml" | xargs -l sed -i 's|cachable="|cacheable="|g'
