Odoo widget js code is working for version 8 but not for version 9?

Question

Why the below code is not working for odoo 9 but its working for odoo 8...

openerp.petstore = function(instance, local) {

    instance.web.form.widgets = instance.web.form.widgets.extend(
    {
        'test' : 'instance.web.form.message',
    });

    instance.web.form.message = instance.web.form.FieldChar.extend(
    {
        template: 'test',
        start: function() {
        alert('working');
       }
    });
}

Do you get an error or does it simply not work ? – George Daramouskas Mar 17 '17 at 09:12 — George Daramouskas, Mar 17 '17 at 09:12

Have you tried:

openerp.oepetstore = function(instance, local) {

    local.test = instance.Widget.extend({
        start: function() {
            alert('working');
        },
    });

    instance.web.client_actions.add(
        'petstore.test', 'instance.oepetstore.test');
}

Make sure you check the proper version of the documentation because the web client has gone through some major changes.

Hello Mr. Mani,

Try this below code,

openerp.oepetstore = function(instance, local) {
    # _t and _lt is use for convert text to python and java script.
    var _t = instance.web._t,
        _lt = instance.web._lt;
    var QWeb = instance.web.qweb;

    local.HomePage = instance.Widget.extend({
        start: function() {
            alert("Hello Mani...");
            console.log("Hello Mani..");
        },
    });

    instance.web.client_actions.add(
        'petstore.homepage', 'instance.oepetstore.HomePage');
}
