manifest-required-author (ODOO008)

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 an Odoo module's __manifest__.py declares one of the required authors.

Why is this bad?

Requiring a known author (or organization) in the manifest helps track module provenance.

Example

{
    "author": "Someone Else",
}
