Latest version
Version 4.4.0
Released Aug 5, 2026 - 127.5 KBWorks with firefox 109.0 and laterv4.4.0 — Time Travel, Snapshot & Compare, Module Footprint, Domain Explainer
Four new diagnostic features, plus fixes for real Odoo 18/19 detection gaps
found during testing:
NEW: Time Travel — automatically captures before/after field values on
every save (Tools tab), so debugging "why didn't this computed field
update" no longer means manually re-hovering a field before and after
clicking Save.
NEW: Snapshot & Compare — export a model's view arch, access rights, and
record rules to a portable JSON file, then diff it against another
environment's export or this environment's live data. Turns "did my
migration apply the same on staging vs prod" into two clicks.
NEW: Module Footprint — one click in the Info pane analyzes the current
view's field count, x2many sub-views, and (the classic slow-form culprits)
computed-but-not-stored and related fields.
NEW: "Explain this domain" — many2one/many2many domain restrictions are
now translated to plain English right in the Info pane, instead of
needing to mentally parse Polish-notation Python tuples. Handles nested
AND/OR/NOT, dynamic field references, and Odoo's =False/!=False idioms.
NEW: App/menu detection — the panel now shows which app you're in and its
ir.actions.act_window id, with a one-click copy for module XML.
NEW: Light/dark/auto theme support, following Odoo 19's own theme when
set to auto, with a manual toggle in the panel header.
FIXED: wizard/dialog model detection — popups like "Register Payment" now
correctly resolve to their own model instead of incorrectly inheriting
the parent record's model.
FIXED: Odoo 19's collapsed header buttons (behind the "⋮" kebab menu) can
now be inspected directly, without needing to open the menu first.
Also included from recent updates: the panel is now a docked, resizable
side panel (instead of a floating window) with a redesigned grouped
navigation rail; "Sonic," a small badge that appears above any field or
button you hover — even while the panel is closed — for one-click
inspection; and reliable model/page detection on Odoo 18 and 19, which no
longer relies on parsing the URL (Odoo 18/19's human-readable action
paths like /odoo/sales/33 broke that approach entirely) and instead reads
directly from Odoo's own view-loading traffic.Source code released under MIT License

Version 3.7.1
Released Jul 30, 2026 - 111 KBWorks with firefox 109.0 and laterv3.7.1 — Fixed a timing bug that could leave model detection stuck at "not detected"
Some users on Odoo 18/19 saw "Model not detected. Open a form/list/kanban
view." even with a form open. Root cause: our detection script could attach
a moment too late — after Odoo's own client had already made the one RPC
call we relied on to identify the current model, leaving detection stuck
until the next full page load.
Fixed by:
- Starting detection at the earliest possible point in the page lifecycle
(document_start) instead of waiting for the DOM to finish loading, so it
reliably attaches before Odoo's own client boots.
- Added a fallback: if the specific call we prefer doesn't show up within
a short grace period, we now use the next best signal instead of staying
undetected indefinitely.
- Added a second detection path as a safety net, in case any part of the
request stack doesn't use the one we primarily rely on.
No other functional changes since 3.7.0 (docked side panel, Sonic hover
wizard, Server Sizing Calculator, Odoo 18/19 model-detection fix, SPA
navigation-aware refresh — see the 3.7.0 notes for the full list).Source code released under MIT License
Version 3.7.0
Released Jul 30, 2026 - 110.47 KBWorks with firefox 109.0 and laterv3.7.0 — Critical fix: model detection on Odoo 18/19, plus docked side panel
CRITICAL FIX: Odoo 18/19 changed action URLs to human-readable paths
(e.g. /odoo/sales/33 instead of /odoo/sale.order/33) — the URL segment is
now an arbitrary slug, not the model's technical name. This silently broke
field/view inspection across the whole extension on 18/19. Model is now
detected reliably from Odoo's own get_views RPC traffic instead of parsed
from the URL, so it keeps working regardless of routing scheme.
Also fixed: the extension could incorrectly report "not an Odoo page"
(including on local dev instances), and the Sonic hover badge could fail
to appear — both caused by the same underlying issue (reading window.odoo
from the wrong JS execution context), now fixed with a proper page-bridge
script.
New in this release:
- The inspector now opens as a docked side panel (400–500px, resizable)
instead of a floating box, with a smooth slide-in/out transition that
gently pushes the page content over instead of covering it.
- Sonic: a small badge appears above whatever field or button you hover,
even while the panel is closed — click it to jump straight into an
inspection. Color-coded (purple = field, amber = button).
- The panel now detects when Odoo's single-page app re-renders the view
(switching records, breadcrumbs, menu navigation) and refreshes
automatically instead of showing stale data.
- New Server Sizing Calculator (Server tab): enter a user breakdown
(heavy/medium/light/portal) and get a recommended CPU/RAM/storage spec
plus a ready-to-use odoo.conf snippet.
- Odoo 18/19 compatibility: REST API generator emits the correct route
type for Odoo 19 (type="jsonrpc"), added modern read-group RPC
alternatives, improved field detection across form, list, and kanban
views.
- Redesigned navigation: the old 8-tab strip is now a grouped icon rail
(Inspect / Visualize / Environment / Build).Source code released under MIT License
Version 3.6.0
Released Jul 30, 2026 - 108.75 KBWorks with firefox 109.0 and laterv3.6.0 — Odoo 18/19 compatibility, docked side panel, and a fixed detection bug- Fixed: the extension could incorrectly report "not an Odoo page" (including on

Version 2.3.0
Released Jul 2, 2026 - 74.31 KBWorks with firefox 109.0 and laterVersion 2.3.0 — Major update
Graph improvements
- Nodes no longer overlap or hide behind the central focus node — the layout engine now treats every node as a physical circle that nothing else may overlap, including the focus node itself
- Zoom now follows the cursor position instead of yanking the graph toward the corner
- Individual nodes are draggable — move any node manually to resolve any remaining layout issues
- "Re-layout" button re-runs the auto-layout from scratch on demand
- Duplicate event listeners that accumulated over multiple inspections are now properly cleaned up
Notebook page inspection
- Hovering a notebook tab now shows it as a first-class element in the inspector: page name, label, position among siblings, count of contained fields and buttons, and the full arch XML node
- Notebook pages are now valid Inherit View targets — two new intents: "Add content inside this page" and "Add new sibling page after"
Python inheritance stub generator
- New Python stub button in the Info tab generates ready-to-paste Python boilerplate for 6 inheritance patterns:
- Extend model (_inherit)
- Override compute method — pre-filled with the field's actual @api.depends list
- Add @onchange for the inspected field
- Extend a selection field (correct selection_add + ondelete pattern)
- Override a button method (with super() call)
- New model from scratch
- Each stub can be copied or downloaded as a .py file
RPC console upgrades
- Method field is now a dropdown of 14 common ORM methods (search_read, search, read, write, create, unlink, search_count, name_search, fields_get, read_group, copy, action_confirm, action_cancel, action_draft) with inline kwargs hints for each
- New visual domain builder: load the model's real fields, pick a field, pick an operator, enter a value, press AND or OR — assembles valid domain JSON automatically without hand-typing bracket syntaxSource code released under MIT License
