manifest-version-format (ODOO064)

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 version key in an Odoo module's manifest is a five-part version whose first two parts are the Odoo series, e.g. 17.0.1.0.0.

Why is this bad?

Odoo's module updater compares manifest versions to decide whether a module has to be upgraded, and the Apps store rejects modules whose version does not start with the series it is published for. A version like 1.0 or 17.0.1.0 is silently treated as a different (usually lower) version than intended, so upgrades stop being applied.

Example

{
    "version": "1.0",
}

Use instead: 

{
    "version": "17.0.1.0.0",
}

Options

When odoo-version is configured, the first two parts must match it exactly. Without it the series is not known, so any five numeric parts are accepted.
