Just a little question about the flow
I have Pycharm install in Ubuntu 16.04, with that I configure Odoo running with this parameter configuration:
--addons-path=/home/maxibi/Odoo/Odoo11/addons,/home/maxibi/Odoo/Odoo11/custom_addons
Notice the second custom addons path parameter, If I create an empty folder of 'custom_addons' when I run the server, it complains that the path is not valid path of addons. But when I put a module inside the folder, it doesn't complain.
How did Odoo scan this. Any technical code going on for this ? Just for my technical knowledge about this.
I should have used the search. Here is the answer for the other guy: https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/error-not-a-valid-addons-directory-27590
Meaning that, the folder must contain one or more module to be the valid path
Hope this will helps: http://learnopenerp.blogspot.com/2019/10/configure-pycharm-with-odoo.html
