Hi @guewen,
some modules you are maintaining are being modified, check this out!

[thomaspaulb]

I can't get this to run with env ODOO_RC=odoo.cfg python -m odoo.addons.queue_job.jobrunner like the original PR mentions, I get:

/home/nightly/odoo/.venv/bin/python: Error while finding module specification for 'odoo.addons.queue_job.jobrunner' (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'odoo.addons.queue_job')

It only works with: env ODOO_RC=auto/odoo.conf python -c "import odoo; odoo.tools.config.parse_config(); from odoo.addons import queue_job; runner = queue_job.jobrunner.QueueJobRunner.from_environ_or_config(); runner.run()"

Ah, yes. You likely have the queue repo in odoo.cfg addons_path. Therefore odoo.addons.queue_job is not known to the python import machinery until odoo.tools.config.parse_config has run, so python -m can't possibly find it.

Things you can do:

• install this queue_job PR with pip: pip install git+https://github.com/oca/queue@refs/pull/456/head#subdirectory=setup/queue_job. That will install it in site-package, hence in sys.path.
• add queue/setup/queue_job in PYTHONPATH (there is odoo/addons/queue_job there) -- although don't rely on that, since this setup directory will likely disappear in the future, so I just mention it as it may help explaining the mechanism.
• or, run __main__.py as a script: python queue/queue_job/job_runner/__main__.py

There are two unrelated commits in this PR?

@sbidoul

• I went for just putting the long python -c command in my jobrunner service, are the methods you mention better in some way? (except for being more elegant)

• The commits are not unrelated, they are commits that I cherry-picked from the 14.0 branch that are required for it to work

[sbidoul]

are the methods you mention better in some way? (except for being more elegant)

Running __main__.py as a script avoids some minor code duplication in your job runner service. Otherwise, they should be equivalent at runtime.
