When adding the configuration to the odoo's config file, this warning is shown

2025-09-25 14:44:14,513 556 WARNING ? odoo.tools.config: unknown option 'modules_auto_install_disabled' in the config file at /root/.odoorc, option stored as-is, without parsing

Anybody who knows how we could fix this?

[legalsylvain]

It looks like the spirit of Odoo V19, is to have a fixed quantity of option in the [options] section, defined in the core code.

Could you try to replace :

[options]
server_wide_modules = web,module_change_auto_install

modules_auto_install_disabled =
       partner_autocomplete,
       iap,
       mail_bot

modules_auto_install_enabled =
       web_responsive:web,
       base_technical_features,
       disable_odoo_online,
       account_usability

by

[options]

server_wide_modules = web,module_change_auto_install

[module_change_auto_install]
modules_disabled =
       partner_autocomplete,
       iap,
       mail_bot

modules_enabled =
       web_responsive:web,
       base_technical_features,
       disable_odoo_online,
       account_usability

I tried several ways, but the warning pops up too soon.
Odoo refatcored it completly to show a warning on non standard options.

Could you update the logs ?

We can wait and take a look on this similar OCA modules that will have the same problems :

• https://github.com/OCA/queue/tree/18.0/queue_job#configuration
• https://github.com/OCA/server-env/tree/18.0/server_environment_ir_config_parameter#configuration

[rven]

What do you mean with

Could you update the logs ?

Could you put the new log, when you use [module_change_auto_install] in the odoo.cfg file ?

thanks !

@legalsylvain I've managed to use the following config as you mentioned

[options]

server_wide_modules = web,module_change_auto_install

[module_change_auto_install]
modules_disabled =
       partner_autocomplete,
       iap,
       mail_bot

modules_enabled =
       web_responsive:web,
       base_technical_features,
       disable_odoo_online,
       account_usability

Can you have a look?

FYI Odoo has the following feature:

• [IMP] base: allow to disable autoinstall through command line odoo/odoo#234710

odoo/odoo#234710

Hi @moylop260. I see this feature quite dangerous. (disabling all auto_installable modules). I mean there are 2 kind of auto_installable modules IMO :

• promotional modules, like iap, etc.. Odoo wants to have the module installed widely.
• fixes / compatibility modules. like sale_stock that should be installed if sale and stock are installed. It makes no sense to disable the installation of sale_stock. Don't you think ? (or did I missed something ?)

[moylop260]

Yes, you are right!

They commented in the same PR that in the future they could generate a list to disable auto-install modules like your module

However, they didn't make the improve for master
