ImportError: cannot import name 'binary_content' from 'odoo.addons.web.controllers.main' (e:\odoo\homing_missile13\addons\web\controllers\main.py).

By looking at the code i saw the file main.py has some code which is obsoleted (i reckon) in version 13 >

from odoo.addons.web.controllers.main import binary_content from odoo.addons.http_routing.models.ir_http import slug

So can you help me guys?

What the replacement of binary_content is in Odoo CE version 13?

The same question with slug.

Apart from that, Pycharm also shows the errors at odoo.addons.web and odoo.addons.http_routing.

Any helps are much appriciated.

Thank you

Answer 1

Yes, there is a change in Odoo-13.

You can import and used this function content_image.The slug can use for "Transform a string to that can be used in a URL path" and your function is for the binary type content operation.

Thanks

Answer 2

Just adding this answer for Odoo 14, because I couldn't find anything related to version 14.

In my case, I had to import like this:

from odoo.addons.web.controllers.main import Binary

& in the code:

Binary.content_image as mentioned by Dipen in this answer.

---

Also, found another interesting thing, as mentioned in this link, answered by Niyas Raphy, instead of importing binary_content, I could've also used request.env['ir.http'].sudo().binary_content(.

See a use case in V13: status, headers, _content = request.env['ir.http'].sudo().binary_content( model='res.partner', id=partner_id, field='image_128', default_mimetype='image/png')
