attribute-string-redundant (ODOO007)

Preview (since 0.16.2.1) · Related issues · View source

Derived from the odoo linter.

Fix is sometimes available.

This rule is unstable and in preview. The --preview flag is required for use.

What it does

Checks for a string= argument on an Odoo field definition that's redundant with the field's own variable name.

Why is this bad?

Odoo infers a human-readable label from the field's variable name (converting snake_case to Title Case), so a string argument that matches that inferred label is dead weight.

Example

class MyModel(models.Model):
    _inherit = "my.model"

    partner_id = fields.Many2one("res.partner", string="Partner")

Use instead: 

class MyModel(models.Model):
    _inherit = "my.model"

    partner_id = fields.Many2one("res.partner")
