Test Pylint

test_pylint is Viindoo's continuous-integration quality gate. When its test suite runs it lints a single target repository against Viindoo's coding standards - Python (pylint + pylint_odoo, flake8), translations (.po) and module packaging (manifest, images, documentation) - and fails the build on any violation.

The module ships no user interface: it is driven entirely by running its tests.

What it checks

Each check is one test file under test_pylint/tests/:

test_pylint - runs pylint (with the pylint_odoo plugin) over the Python of every installable module in the target repository, restricted to the curated ENABLED_CODES allow-list.
test_flake8 - runs flake8 over the same Python.
test_pofile - checks that every .po file (in i18n/ and i18n_extra/) keeps the same number of %s placeholders between the msgid and its msgstr.
test_eslint - runs eslint over the modules' JavaScript.
test_manifest_description - the manifest description renders as valid reStructuredText.
test_doc_index_rst - each module's doc/*.rst renders as valid reStructuredText.
test_manifest_images - every path in the manifest images key exists.
test_same_module_name - no module technical name is defined twice across the addons path.

Choosing which repository to check

Only ONE repository is linted per run, so a build never fails on pre-existing issues in dependency repositories. The repository is resolved from the first available of three sources, in this order:

The .odoorc option repo_to_check_quality (this is what CI writes).
The environment variable REPO_TO_CHECK_QUALITY.
The current working directory - if you cd into the repository before running, it is detected automatically from the addons path.

If none of the three resolves, the test_pylint / test_flake8 / test_pofile checks skip rather than guess.

Running it locally

Install the tooling once:

pip install pylint pylint-odoo flake8
npm install -g eslint            # only needed for test_eslint

The simplest way is to cd into the repository so it is auto-detected (source 3 above):

cd /path/to/my_repo
odoo-bin -d <db> --addons-path=<core-addons>,/path/to/my_repo \
    -i test_pylint --test-enable --test-tags=/test_pylint --stop-after-init

Or name the repository explicitly, without editing any config file (source 2 above):

REPO_TO_CHECK_QUALITY=my_repo odoo-bin -d <db> --addons-path=... \
    -u test_pylint --test-enable --test-tags=/test_pylint --stop-after-init

Use --test-tags=/test_pylint with the leading / to select the whole module; a bare test_pylint would be read as a tag and match no test.

Linting only some modules

By default every installable module in the resolved repository is linted. To lint only a subset - for example the modules a pull request actually changed - set the .odoorc option modules_to_check_quality to a comma-separated list of module technical names:

modules_to_check_quality = sale_extra, my_module

test_pylint, test_flake8 and test_pofile then lint only the intersection of that list with the installable modules of the resolved repository. When the option is absent, empty, or whitespace-only, the whole repository is linted - byte-identical to the default behaviour.

On CI this option is written automatically for pull-request builds, computed from the modules the PR changed, so a PR that touches one module no longer pays to lint the whole repository. A build that changes only modules with nothing to lint (for example an installable : False module, or a module that ships no .po file) simply passes with nothing checked - it is not an error.

Notes

pylint_odoo is required for test_pylint; if it is not installed the check skips with an install hint (pip install pylint-odoo).
flake8-bugbear is not part of the CI gate: the B / B9 codes in the flake8 selection are inert there. If you have bugbear installed locally you may see extra B950 line-length findings that do not fail CI.
