path is not a valid addons directory – Ubuntu

Hello

following the steps in "ODOO 15 DEVELOPMENT ESSENTIALS FIFTH EDITION" I’m trying to add a custom addons folder using a terminal on Ubuntu (wsl), when I run this command:

$ odoo -d 15-library --addons-path="./library,./odoo/addons"

I get this error:

Usage: odoo [options]

odoo: error: option –addons-path: the path ‘./library’ is not a valid
addons directory

btw folder library exists in my path

thanks in advance for any help

    It is solved by running scaffold command in the directory before running the command in the question 😁.

    Odoo will call the _check_addons_path function when you pass --addons-path in command line and check if all folders are valid addons paths

    ./library folder should contain at least one module, a directory with __init__.py file, and a manifest
    file (__manifest__.py or _openerp__.py)

    def _is_addons_path(self, path):
    from odoo.modules.module import MANIFEST_NAMES
    for f in os.listdir(path):
        modpath = os.path.join(path, f)
        if os.path.isdir(modpath):
            def hasfile(filename):
                return os.path.isfile(os.path.join(modpath, filename))
            if hasfile('__init__.py') and any(hasfile(mname) for mname in MANIFEST_NAMES):
                return True
    return False
