Normally if you change your python code means, you need to restart the server in order to apply the new changes.

--auto-reload parameter is enabled means, you don't need to restart the server. It enables auto-reloading of python files and xml files without having to restart the server. It required pyinotify. It is a Python module for monitoring filesystems changes.

Just add --auto-reload in your configuration file. By default the value will be "false". You don't need to pass any extra arguments. --auto-reload is enough. If everything setup and works properly you will get 

openerp.service.server: Watching addons folder /opt/odoo/v8.0/addons
openerp.service.server: AutoReload watcher running

in the server log. Don't forget to install pyinotify package.

  • I have updated the answer. Check your log for "AutoReload watcher running" is present or not. – no coder Mar 25 '15 at 06:54

    I installed `python-pyinotify`. I added `--auto-reload`, the server log also showed `AutoReload watcher running`, but my module wasn't automatically updated when the code was changed. Does anyone have the similar problem? – Hieu Jun 25 '15 at 07:07
  • If you are using Vagrant and any virtual machine it might take some for pynotify to see the changes and the code might not be updated instantly. – Aftab Naveed Oct 27 '15 at 03:01

I found this looking for the same thing, but for odoo 10. Someone will follow the same route, so:

This has been changed in odoo 10 to --dev=reload. BUT you can't specify that in /etc/init.d/odoo itself. Only from the command line.
