[Bug 781967] [NEW] RML based reporting broken for addons with images outside root_path

 

Public bug reported:

Currently, in order to be found by OpenERP, image elements within RML
templates must be specified making use of paths relative to 'root_path'.
With the 'addons_path' functionality, this behaviour becomes
inconsistent; if an addon is moved to a valid directory outside the
'root_path' directory, the reporting process is broken and the server
raises an IOError exception.

To deal with this problem, the RML template must contain the full path
to the image file (which can be anything but flexible), or make use of a
custom tag to set up the path dynamically.

Attached is a patch that enables the server to recognise image elements
with paths relative to the module directory, regardless of the addons
directory where it is. I.e.:

    <image file="my_addon/images/my_report_image.png" x="0" y="0"/>

** Affects: openobject-server
