How to create new attachments in Odoo? How do they work?

问题

I want to create an attachment from python code.

So, what I have tried:

self.env['ir.attachment'].create({
    'store_fname' : ??,
    'checksum' : ??
})

What values should be passed for the column 'store_fname' and 'checksum' in ir_attachment table?

回答1:

Those fields should be filled automatically:

• The store_fnameis the folder and the name that the file uses when it is store in the filestore folder
• The checksum concides with the file name as well. It is the result of applying the sha1 algorythm to the file data

An example in the database:

 id  |                 store_fname                 |                 checksum

Take a look at how they are computed:

@api.depends('store_fname', 'db_datas')
def _compute_datas(self):
    bin_size = self._context.get('bin_size')
    for attach in self:
        if attach.store_fname:
            attach.datas = self._file_read(attach.store_fname, bin_size)
        else:
            attach.datas = attach.db_datas

def _inverse_datas(self):
    location = self._storage()
    for attach in self:
        # compute the fields that depend on datas
        value = attach.datas
        bin_data = base64.b64decode(value) if value else b''
        vals = {
            'file_size': len(bin_data),
            'checksum': self._compute_checksum(bin_data),
            'index_content': self._index(bin_data, attach.datas_fname, attach.mimetype),
            'store_fname': False,
            'db_datas': value,
        }
        if value and location != 'db':
            # save it to the filestore
            vals['store_fname'] = self._file_write(value, vals['checksum'])
            vals['db_datas'] = False

        # take current location in filestore to possibly garbage-collect it
        fname = attach.store_fname
        # write as superuser, as user probably does not have write access
        super(IrAttachment, attach.sudo()).write(vals)
        if fname:
            self._file_delete(fname)

def _compute_checksum(self, bin_data):
    """ compute the checksum for the given datas
        :param bin_data : datas in its binary form
    """
    # an empty file has a checksum too (for caching)
    return hashlib.sha1(bin_data or b'').hexdigest()

# the field 'datas' is computed and may use the other fields below
datas = fields.Binary(
    string='File Content',
    compute='_compute_datas',
    inverse='_inverse_datas'
)

An example of how to create an attachment taken from BaseImportImport:

@api.model
@api.returns('ir.attachment')
def _create_csv_attachment(self, fields, data, options, file_name):
    # write csv
    f = StringIO()
    writer = csv.writer(f,
                        delimiter=str(options.get(OPT_SEPARATOR)),
                        quotechar=str(options.get(OPT_QUOTING)))
    encoding = options.get(OPT_ENCODING, 'utf-8')
    writer.writerow(fields)
    for row in data:
        writer.writerow(row)
    # create attachment
    datas = base64.encodebytes(f.getvalue().encode(encoding))
    attachment = self.env['ir.attachment'].create({
        'name': file_name,
        'datas': datas,
        'datas_fname': file_name
    })
    return attachment

Though the fields res_id and res_model can be useful as well if you want to link the attachments to some record in some model

 id  |                 store_fname                 |                 checksum                 |    res_model     | res_id
