I setup and installed Odoo. After installation I did scaffolding to create a test module. Within that module I added some code and the module appeared under my module list. However after installation I do not see the module on my app list. Below is my code:
button_action_demo.py
from odoo import models, fields, api
#Non-odoo library
import random
from random import randint
import string
class button_action_demo(models.Model):
_name = 'button.demo'
name = fields.Char(required=True,default='Click on generate name!')
password = fields.Char()
def generate_record_name(self):
self.ensure_one()
#Generates a random name between 9 and 15 characters long and writes it to the record.
self.write({'name': ''.join(random.SystemRandom().choice(string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits) for _ in range(randint(9,15)))})
def generate_record_password(self):
self.ensure_one()
#Generates a random password between 12 and 15 characters long and writes it to the record.
self.write({
'password': ''.join(random.SystemRandom().choice(string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits) for _ in range(randint(12,15)))
})
def clear_record_data(self):
self.ensure_one()
self.write({
'name': '',
'password': ''
})

Can someone please guide me what am I missing on my code. I'm more than happy to share more code if required but I think I have provided most of the bits
If module is not visible in app list then check few things, listed below.
If your security file is not working well or something wrong with your manifest file all these things will happen during installation or after installation.
