odoo-lint

odoo-lint

Blazing fast Rust-native linter for Odoo modules. The command is called odl.

It checks Python files, manifests, XML and CSV data files, translation (.po) files and JavaScript (OWL components and templates), with the checks of OCA's pylint-odoo, oca-checks-odoo-module and oca-checks-po: same names, same messages, same results on their own test suites. It also warns about files that do not belong in a module, such as packages or database dumps committed by accident.

Linting all of OCA/sale-workflow 18.0, as OCA's pre-commit hook runs pylint-odoo. See benchmarks .

• ⚡ 250x faster than pylint with pylint-odoo, and still 30x faster on a single core
• ⚖️ Drop-in for pylint-odoo and OCA's pre-commit checks: same codes, names and messages, every check matching on their own test suites (parity), and # pylint: disable= comments keep working
• 🔧 Automatic fixes, safe and unsafe as in Ruff, for Python, manifests, XML and .po files (odl check --fix, --diff to preview)
• ⬆️ Upgrade checks: leftovers of older Odoo versions, such as Bootstrap 4 classes that do nothing since Odoo 15.0, with fixes
• 🌍 Translation checks that predict Odoo's loader: why Odoo logs "malformed po file", and why a translation does not show up
• 📦 Installable with pip, uv or pipx: one binary in prebuilt wheels for Linux, macOS and Windows, without Python dependencies
• 🛠️ Configured in `pyproject.toml`, including company-specific author rules
• 📋 Output for CI: GitHub annotations, GitLab Code Quality, SARIF and JSON
• ✍️ In your editor: a language server (odl server) with quick fixes, and extensions for VS Code and Zed
• 🤖 For AI coding agents: an MCP server, and plugins for Claude Code, DeepSeek Harness and OpenCode that lint every file the agent edits
• 🪝 Git hooks: pre-commit and hk

Installation

uv tool install odoo-linter   # or: pipx install odoo-linter

cargo install odoo-lint # from crates.io

The PyPI package is called odoo-linter, because odoo-lint is too similar to an existing PyPI project. On crates.io it is odoo-lint.

Quick start

odl check path/to/addons   # lint a directory

odl rule # list all rules odl rule C8101 # explain a rule odl check --fix # apply the safe fixes (--diff to preview)

Rules ported from pylint-odoo keep its codes, names and messages, and # pylint: disable= comments keep working. Company-specific rules are configured in your pyproject.toml:

[tool.odoo-lint]

target-version = "17.0"

[tool.odoo-lint.rules.manifest-required-author.mapping] "acme_*" = "Acme Corp"

For AI coding agents there is an MCP server (odl mcp) and a post-edit hook, packaged as plugins for Claude Code (/plugin marketplace add GetFluvo/odoo-lint), DeepSeek Harness and OpenCode.
