Debug Mode Quick Switcher
Stop typing ?debug=assets in the URL bar.
5 modes, one click · Per-user default · Hotkey · Mobile-ready · Page-edge stripe in heavy modes
Odoo 19 FREE For Devs & Admins 8 LanguagesBuilt for People Who Live in Debug Mode
Odoo's built-in button toggles one mode (?debug=1). Real devs need assets, tests, and assets,tests too — and most type them by hand.
Without this module
Click URL bar → type ?debug=assets → reload → debug a JS issue. Need tests now? Click URL bar → change to ?debug=tests. Forget you're in heavy mode → pages crawl all afternoon.
With this module
Navbar dropdown. Pick a mode. Click. Done. Coloured badge tells you which mode is active. Page-edge stripe in Assets/Tests so you don't forget you're slowing down.
Five Modes, One Click
The dropdown shows every mode with a coloured swatch. The current mode has a green check next to it. Click any other to switch.
Features
Off, Developer, Assets, Tests, Assets + Tests — every Odoo debug mode in one menu.
Set your preferred starting mode on your user record. Stays in sync whether you switch from this dropdown, My Profile, or Odoo's own debug menu.
Ctrl+Shift+D cycles modes. Ctrl+Shift+A jumps straight to Assets. Both auto-disable while typing.
A 4px coloured bar across the top of the page when you're in Assets or Tests mode. You won't forget you're paying for it.
One-click copy of the current URL with ?debug=... for sharing in tickets and Slack.
Single config parameter hides the switcher and ignores per-user defaults. Recommended ON for production databases.
Heavy Mode? You'll Know.
A subtle coloured stripe across the very top of the page lights up in Assets (orange) and Tests (purple) modes. Doesn't fight Odoo's chrome. Doesn't let you forget either.
Who Installs This
Switch between assets for breakpoint debugging and tests for QUnit/Hoot runs without leaving the page. The hotkey is enough on its own.
Need to access "Edit Action" or "Manage Filters" buried under developer mode? One click. Don't need admin rights to use it.
Per-user default means your debug preference follows you across client servers. No more "wait, where's the dev mode toggle on this version?"
Your Default, Always Applied
Set your starting mode on My Profile. The switcher reads it from session_info at boot — no extra RPC, no flashing. Off / Dev / Assets / Tests / Assets+Tests, your call.
How It Works
Drop the addon, click Install. The bug-icon badge appears in your navbar immediately.
My Profile → pick your usual starting mode. Saved on your res.users record.
Click the badge or press Ctrl+Shift+D. Page reloads with the new mode. Stripe lights up in heavy modes.
Power Users Live on the Keyboard
Hotkeys are registered through Odoo's own hotkey service so you get collision warnings + auto-disable while typing in form fields. The hint is always visible at the bottom of the dropdown.

The switcher speaks your team's language. Each user sees mode labels and tooltips in their own Odoo language setting - no extra setup.

Standard PO translation files under i18n/. Regional variants (fr_BE, nl_BE) inherit from the base language. Need another language? Drop a .po file in i18n/ and reinstall.
Honest Scope
Odoo's ?debug= param only affects the bundle of the current top-level frame. PDF report rendering and popup iframes don't inherit it — that's an Odoo behaviour, not a module limit, but worth knowing.
?debug=tests loads QUnit/Hoot test assets. Page loads slow down dramatically. The "disable in production" master switch and the page-edge stripe are both there to prevent accidents.
Privacy & Permissions
The default-mode field lives on res.users per user. No global config beyond the kill-switch. No data sent anywhere outside Odoo. Users without admin rights can use the switcher freely — debug mode in Odoo is read-only access to UI affordances, not a privilege escalation.
