[base_rest] JavaScript asset paths incorrect causing 404 errors after v16→v18 migration

Module

base_rest

Describe the bug

The __manifest__.py file contains incorrect JavaScript asset paths that reference non-existent files, causing 404 errors in the frontend and breaking Swagger UI functionality. This prevents proper loading of JavaScript assets and causes uncaught promise errors in production.

The manifest references two non-existent JavaScript files:

• base_rest/static/src/js/swagger_ui.js (incorrect path)
• base_rest/static/src/js/swagger.js (file does not exist)

The actual JavaScript file is located at: base_rest/static/src/js/components/swagger_ui.js

To Reproduce

Affected versions: 18.0.1.1.1

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install base_rest module on Odoo 18.0
2. Access any frontend page (e.g., website homepage)
3. Open browser developer console
4. Check for JavaScript errors in console and network tab
5. Observe 404 errors for missing asset files:

   Could not get content for base_rest/static/src/js/swagger_ui.js.
   Could not get content for base_rest/static/src/js/swagger.js.
   

Expected behavior
JavaScript assets should load without errors. The web.assets_frontend should only reference existing files:

"assets": {
    "web.assets_frontend": [
        "base_rest/static/src/scss/base_rest.scss",
        "base_rest/static/src/js/components/swagger_ui.js",  # Correct path
    ],
},

Instead of the current incorrect configuration:

"assets": {
    "web.assets_frontend": [
        "base_rest/static/src/scss/base_rest.scss",
        "base_rest/static/src/js/swagger_ui.js",        # ❌ Wrong path
        "base_rest/static/src/js/swagger.js",           # ❌ File doesn't exist
    ],
},

Additional context

• OS: macOS Darwin 24.6.0
• Python version: 3.12
• Odoo version: 18.0
• Issue occurred after: Migration from Odoo v16 to v18
• Browser: Tested on Chrome, Firefox, Safari
• Impact: Prevents Swagger UI from loading, causes website form submission failures, and generates uncaught JavaScript promise errors
• File structure verification:

  base_rest/static/src/
  ├── js/
  │   └── components/
  │       └── swagger_ui.js    # ✅ Only existing JS file
  └── scss/
      └── base_rest.scss       # ✅ Exists and correctly referenced
  

This appears to be a result of code reorganization during the v16→v18 migration where the JavaScript file was moved to a components/ subdirectory but the manifest was not updated accordingly.
