REQUEST: Checker for Odoo warning "The model {model_name} has no _description"

[espo-tony]

Hi,

Odoo throws a WARNING if a model is defined with no _description attribute.
It would be nice to have a checker for this as well.

[antonag32]

For reference, _description is only required if the class defines a _name attribute which means a new model is being declared. Am I missing some other cases @luisg123v ?

@antonag32
Correct: _description is only required when a new model is being declared.
This is when the class defines a _name attribute and that _name is not in the _inherit attribute.

Hi,

Not sure if this would be possible. What about if it's an inherited model and the model name is not in the _description attribute? That's a valid model declaration AFAIK and it would be detected as a new model.

On the other hand, since it's already covered by Odoo, I wouldn't consider it as important.
