manifest-author-string (ODOO009)

Preview (since 0.16.2.2) · Related issues · View source

Derived from the odoo linter.

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

What it does

Checks that the author key in an Odoo module's __manifest__.py is a string.

Why is this bad?

Odoo expects author to be a single string of comma-separated author names, not a list.

Example

{
    "author": ["My Company"],
}

Use instead:

{
    "author": "My Company",
}
