Validate model in remove model

[niboo-ave]

Hello,

I don't understand the need to validate a model before it removal. ( https://github.com/odoo/upgrade-util/blob/6c9a30c2e0125194154de24b0a1380b4db836652/src/util/models.py#L73 )

I have the case where an other partner did a poor job at naming model (_name is "file_wizard") and I can't properly use the remove model ( I actually remove the full module but doesn't change much).

Currently i just commented the validate line on my local, but would be nice if we could use this in production.

Any explanation of the why this validation is required at removal is welkom, any other solution/work around is more than welkom.

Best Regards,

Just use the environment variable UPG_VALID_MODELS, example: UPG_VALID_MODELS='my_model1;my_model2;other_model' Ref: https://github.com/odoo/upgrade-util/blob/6c9a30c2e0125194154de24b0a1380b4db836652/src/util/helpers.py#L26

It's a very common error to use a table name instead of the model name. Since this util won't fail if the model is not found the author may never notice their mistake until it's too late.
