Update odoo module from command line

Question

Please, I need help, I am trying to update my module list in Odoo 11 from the command line.

I try these three commands:

==> -c ./etc/odoo-server.conf -u module_name -d database_name

==> ./odoo.py -u module_name

the solution in this link: https://gist.github.com/holdenrehg/9fd3f8596611bbfc45aea13d6315d4f4

but nothing has worked.

What do you mean by "trying to update my module list"? This command is update a module for a specific database. In the first command there could be something within the config file, which is blocking. The second command can't work because you need to specify a database with -d while using -u. The linked command looks good to me. — CZoellner
And why do you need to update the modules/apps list by command line? — CZoellner

The "Update Apps List" button triggers creation of a "Module Update" wizard. The wizard has a button, "Update", which runs the update_module method. The only important thing that update_module does is to call update_list against ir.module.module.

You can simulate this via shell with the command below, but I'm not sure there's a way to do it directly from the command line in an automated way.

self.env['ir.module.module'].update_list()
