v0.1.0-alpha.21

Changes

• The repository moved to GetFluvo/odoo-lint, with odoo-lint-pre-commit and odoo-lint-action. Old bosd/... URLs redirect; update pre-commit repo: and Action uses: lines when convenient.
• The MCP server is now io.github.GetFluvo/odoo-lint in the MCP Registry.
• The Zed extension downloads its binaries from GetFluvo/odoo-lint.

No linter changes since 0.1.0-alpha.20.

v0.1.0-alpha.20

New

• odl check --show-fixes: with --fix or --diff, lists the fixes per file and rule, the most frequent first. (#152)

Changed

• PO106 without the module's dependencies on the addons path reports only terms of its code and data files that the template lacks (a new _() message or view label), and offers no fix: the labels of its models may then be wrong, which made every template look outdated. With the dependencies it reports and fixes as before. (#150)

v0.1.0-alpha.19

New

• PO106 pot-outdated (opt-in): reports a module's i18n/<module>.pot that differs from what odl pot writes from its source, with how many terms it lacks and how many the source no longer exports. The fix writes the template; it is unsafe when dependencies are missing from the addons path. odl pot --check as a rule, for the editor and odl check. (#147)

v0.1.0-alpha.18

New

• odl pot writes a module's .pot template without running Odoo: the terms of its Python code, models (labels, help, selections, constraints) and the records its data files create, at 99% parity with OCA's templates on 19.0. --merge updates the module's .po files from it. (#118, #120, #133, #140)
• noqa comments in XML and .po files: <!-- noqa: XML004 --> and # noqa: PO003. (#138)
• odl check --statistics counts the findings per rule, the most frequent first; [*] marks the rules --fix fixes. (#145)
• Colours on a terminal: the path in bold, the code in red. NO_COLOR turns them off; piped output is unchanged. (#145)
• odl rule W83 lists the rules of a code prefix, odl rule 8101 those of a number. (#144)

Changed

• No banner or "No config found" notice by default; -v/--verbose prints the Odoo version source and config, -q/--quiet only the findings. (#128)
• An unknown --select/--ignore selector, or a config select that matches no rule, exits 2 instead of linting nothing. (#128)
• A path that does not exist exits 2; a file odoo-lint does not lint (a README.md) is skipped. (#121)
• With an addons path, odl check warns about a folder that does not exist, one a level too high (the Odoo checkout instead of its addons), and dependencies it cannot find. (#128, #136)

Fixes

From a review of the whole code base. (#121–#126)

• C8116 no longer removes "installable": False (regression in alpha.17).
• W8161's fix no longer rewrites _() in parameter defaults and decorators, where there is no self; its quick fix keeps the import while other calls use it.
• XML023/XML024 fixes no longer corrupt a <field> tag over several lines; XML002 handles a BOM or CRLF.
• odl format keeps whitespace that is alone in an element, and formats stylesheets again.
• PO007 wraps Thai, Devanagari and Arabic as polib does; PO metadata sorts as polib does; PO005 puts merged references one per line (#117).
• exclude and per-file-ignores work from a subdirectory and with a relative --config; ignore = ["ALL"] turns opt-in rules off too; # noqa after a string over several lines covers the line it starts on.
• odl server survives a malformed request and finds references in unsaved files; odl hook reports only the edited file's findings; odl mcp rejects a string where a list is expected; the LSP, hook and editor integrations lint JavaScript.
• Upgrade rules: U1701 keeps the attrs of columns added to a list through an xpath, renames inside nested xpaths go to the right model, version guards on the new name count, U1902 gives no fix for a name Python would mangle.
• ODOO004, ODOO008 and ODOO013 false positives; widgets and OWL templates no longer go stale in the LSP.
• odl check | head no longer panics.

Performance

• Hints about where a missing model or field lives parse only modules that mention it (5.3 s → 0.5 s on a large addons path). (#127)
• The index computes line numbers by index and parses modules and their files in parallel. (#139)

Docs

• Getting started, migrating from OCA's tooling, and which output goes to stdout or stderr. (#129, #145)

v0.1.0-alpha.17

Changed defaults

Defaults that match the checks OCA's CI runs today, measured over every OCA repository on 18.0 and 19.0. (#115)

• Opt-in now: PO007 po-pretty-format (every OCA repository disables it), XML002, XML003, XML009 and XML024 (style checks newer than the hooks OCA runs), and MOD009 field-string-redundant, which W8113 covers. Select them by code to keep them.
• W8113 attribute-string-redundant gets a safe fix that removes the redundant label.
• C8116 manifest-superfluous-key leaves "installable": True alone; keys-values-true = ["active", "installable"] restores pylint-odoo's behaviour.
• ODOO001 missing-depends reports stored computes only; [rules.missing-depends] non-stored = true reports non-stored ones too.

Fixes

False positives found by running every rule over the OCA repositories on 18.0, 19.0 and 20.0. (#111)

• PO rules skip documentation catalogs (doc/, docs/, LC_MESSAGES/).
• Removed models and fields that a dependency defines again are not reported.
• A module's own field classes (JobSerialized(...), fs_fields.FsFolder()) are known to ODOO004, ODOO007 and ODOO009.
• _inherits keyed by a class attribute and delegate=True with comodel_name= are seen as delegations.
• ODOO005 knows the XML ids Odoo creates at install (account.1_... of chart templates, field_* of delegated fields) and of web, and no longer reads a chart template's ref() in an eval as Odoo's.
• ODOO010 leaves abstract models that leave a compute to their heirs alone.
• ODOO011 skips special buttons and buttons an extension inserts at a button.
• ODOO015 sees widgets registered in a chain (.add(...).add(...)).
• U1712 does not report flush() on an object in a private attribute; the rename rules skip OpenUpgrade's openupgrade_scripts.

v0.1.0-alpha.16

Features

• PO105 po-translation-missing: with [rules.po-translation-missing] languages = [...], reports a module with translatable terms but no i18n/<lang>.po, and a .po that leaves terms of the .pot untranslated. (#108)
• MOD011 readme-fragments-missing (opt-in): an installable module without readme/DESCRIPTION.md or .rst. (#109)
• MOD012 module-icon: with [rules.module-icon] (icon, replace, paths), reports a missing icon and an outdated one (oca-2015, oca-2025-01, sha256:<hex> or a file), and keeps a module's own icon; odl check --fix copies the configured icon. (#109)
• MOD013 module-without-tests (opt-in): a module with Python models and no tests/test_*.py. (#109)
• XML103 xml-inside-form-container (opt-in): a view extension that adds fields inside the whole <sheet> or <form>; settings views are skipped. (#109)

v0.1.0-alpha.15

Features

• OWL 3 in Odoo 20.0: U2031–U2035 for the hooks, t-portal, t-esc and t-ref changes, and _rec_names_search tuples (U2035, opt-in). (#103)
• U2036 upgrade-owl3-template-this: component templates read the component through this. in OWL 3; safe fix. (#106)
• odl readme: [readme] style = "obs" writes Markdown READMEs without OCA branding, with org, repo, branch and remove-rst. (#104)

Fixes

• MOD001 names a missing __init__.py instead of blaming the manifest. (#102)
• OWL001–OWL003 skip inheritance specs, and OWL003 no longer reports calls that return a handler. (#105)

v0.1.0-alpha.14

Fixes

• Drops the unused quick-xml dependency, which carried RUSTSEC-2026-0194 and RUSTSEC-2026-0195. Crates that embed odoo-lint now pass cargo-deny. (#100)

v0.1.0-alpha.13

New

• JavaScript: odl now reads the JavaScript of a module's static/src and static/tests, parsed with oxc.
  • Upgrade rules: patch() with a name (U1722, safe fix), unpatch (U1723), and a class in the field registry instead of a descriptor (U1724) for 17.0; the rpc service (U1812) and the legacy Widget (U1813) for 18.0. (#95)
• ODOO015–ODOO017: view widgets, a component's static template, and t-inherit/t-call that no module in the dependencies registers or defines. They run when Odoo's sources with their static folders are on the addons path. (#98)
• odl format also formats SCSS, CSS and Less with lax-css, moving only whitespace. (#94)
• Renamed XML ids per Odoo version (U1590–U1990), checked against the Odoo sources; safe fix. (#92)
• upgrade-check: "ready" now says it covers the code only. The report names depends that odl cannot find for the target, and the JSON has scope and unresolved_depends. (#97)

Fixes

• Asset globs are recursive, as Odoo globs them, and ("after", target, path) directives are read. Checks on asset XML now see nested files. (#98)
• The crate packages its rename data again; alpha.12 was missing on crates.io. (#96)

v0.1.0-alpha.12

New

• odl format: formats XML with lax-markup, moving only whitespace. Domains, entities and text stay as written. Before writing, odl checks that the content (text, record field values, comments) is unchanged; if it would change, the file is left as it is. Replaces prettier's XML plugin. (#91)
• odl requirements: writes requirements.txt from the manifests' external_dependencies. The output is byte-identical to OCA's oca-gen-external-dependencies, without building packages. (#89)
• MOD010 manifest-website: the website set in the configuration, with a fix. Replaces oca-fix-manifest-website. (#88)
• OWL001–OWL003: OWL templates in the assets: t-foreach without t-key, t-raw, and t-on-* handlers that are not functions. (#90)
• Renamed and removed models and fields per Odoo version (U1590–U1991), from OpenUpgrade's migration scripts and analysis, checked against the Odoo sources of each version. Renames have a safe fix. (#85, #86)
• ODOO014 action-read: env.ref(...).read()[0] on an action, which raises an access error for users who are not administrators; unsafe fix to _for_xml_id. (#84)
• U1811: the http_routing slug helpers, which became ir.http class methods in Odoo 18; safe fix. (#83)
• U1924: _notify_progress, deprecated in Odoo 19 for _commit_progress. (#82)
• Language server: completion of methods after a record (order.). (#87)
