Z0Bug_Odoo

This package is an plug-in of zerobug package and aim to easily create odoo tests.

It can be used replacing OCA MQT with some nice additional features.

z0bug_odoo is built on follow concepts:

  • Odoo version independent; it can test Odoo from 6.1 until 17.0

  • It is designed to run inside repository tests with local travis emulator

  • It is designed to run in local environment too, using zerobug

  • It can run with full or reduced set of pylint tests

  • Tests can use many ready-made database records

  • Quality Check Id

  • Keep database after tests (not inside travis and with some limitations)

travis ci support

The goal of z0bug_odoo is to provide helpers to ensure the quality of Odoo addons. This package can e used replacing OCA MQT and it differs by:

  • z0bug_odoo can also test Odoo 6.1 and 7.0 where OCA MQT fails with these versions

  • z0bug_odoo can also test Odoo using python2 where OCA abandoned the developing of Odoo base on python2

  • z0bug_odoo is designed to execute some debug statements, mainly in local environment

  • z0bug_odoo has more options to run with reduced set of lint tests

  • OCA MQT is the only component to build environment and test Odoo while z0bug_odoo is part of Zeroincombenze® tools

  • As per prior rule, building test environment is made by vem, clodoo and lisa. These commands can also build a complete Odoo environment out of the box

To make a complete test on TravisCI your project following 3 files are required: Digest of qci =============

Usage Details

You can locate the recent testenv.py in testenv directory of module z0bug_odoo

For full documentation visit: zero-tools or z0bug_odoo or zero-tools (github) or github with example modules

Copy the testenv.py file in tests directory of your module. Please copy the documentation testenv.rst file in your module too.

The __init__.py must import testenv.

from . import testenv
from . import test_<MY_TEST_FILE>

Your python test file have to contain some following example lines:

import os
import logging
from .testenv import MainTest as SingleTransactionCase

_logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

TEST_SETUP_LIST = ["res.partner", ]

class MyTest(SingleTransactionCase):

    def setUp(self):
        super().setUp()
        # Add following statement just for get debug information
        self.debug_level = 2
        # keep data after tests
        self.odoo_commit_data = True
        self.setup_env()                # Create test environment

    def tearDown(self):
        super().tearDown()

    def test_mytest(self):
        _logger.info(
            "🎺 Testing test_mytest"    # Use unicode char to best log reading
        )
        ...

An important helper to debug is self.debug_level. When you begins your test cycle, you are hinted to set self.debug_level = 3; then you can decrease the debug level when you are developing stable tests. Final code should have self.debug_level = 0. TestEnv logs debug message with symbol “🐞 “ so you can easily recognize them. Another useful helper is the database keep data after test feature. You have to declare self.odoo_commit_data = True and you have to set global bash environment

global ODOO_COMMIT_DATA="1"

Ths TestEnv software requires:

  • python_plus PYPI package

  • z0bug_odoo PYPI package version 2.0.16

  • python 2.7 / 3.6 / 3.7 / 3.8 / 3.9 / 3.10

Model data declaration

Each model is declared in a csv file or xlsx file in test/data directory of the module. The file name is the same of model name with dots replaced by undescore.

i.e. below the contents of res_parter.csv file:

id,name,street
z0bug.partner1,Alpha,"1, First Avenue"

The model may also be declared in a dictionary which key which is the external reference used to retrieve the record.

i.e. the following record declaration is the same of above example; record id is named z0bug.partner1 in res.partner:

TEST_RES_PARTNER = {
    "z0bug.partner1": {
        "name": "Alpha",
        "street": "1, First Avenue",
        ...
    }
)

Warning

Please, do not to declare product.product records: they are automatically created as child of product.template. The external reference must contain the pattern _template (see below).

Warning

When you write a file with a spreadsheet app, pay attention to automatic string replacement. For example double quote char <”> may be replaced by <”>. These replaced characters may be create some troubles during import data step, expecially when used in “python expression”.

Magic relationship

Some models/tables should be managed together, i.e. account.move and account.move.line. TestEnv manages these models/tables, called header/detail, just as a single object. When header record is created, all detail lines are created with header. Odoo standard declaration requires the details data in child reference field with command 0, 0. This method make unreadable the source data. Look at the simple follow example with usually Odoo declaration way:

sale_order_data = {
    "example.order_1": {
        "partner_id": self.env.ref("base.res_partner_1"),
        "origin": "example",
        ...
        "order_line": [
            (0, 0, {
                "product_id": self.env.ref("product.product_product_1"),
                "product_qty": 1,
                "price_unit": 1.23,}),
            (0, 0, {
                "product_id": self.env.ref("product.product_product_2"),
                "product_qty": 2,
                "price_unit": 2.34,}),
        ]
    }

}

Now look at the same data in internal declaration by z0bug_odoo:

TEST_SALE_ORDER = {
    "example.order_1": {
        "partner_id": "base.res_partner_1",
        "origin": "example",
        ...
    }

}

TEST_SALE_ORDER_LINE = {
    "example.order_1_1": {
        "product_id": "product.product_product_1",
        "product_qty": 1,
        "price_unit": 1.23,
    },
    "example.order_1_2": {
        "product_id": "product.product_product_2",
        "product_qty": 2,
        "price_unit": 2.34,
    }
}

As you can see, the data is easy readable and easy updatable. Please, notice:

  1. Sale order lines are declared in specific model sale.order.line

  2. Record ID must begin with header ID, followed by “_” and line ID

  3. Reference data do not require self.env.ref(): they are automatically referenced

It is also easy write the csv or xlsx file. This is the example with above data

File sale_order.csv

id,partner_id,origin
example.order_1,base.res_partner_1,example

File sale_order_line.csv

id,product_id,product_qty,price_unit
example.order_1_1,product.product_product_1,1,1.23
example.order_1_2,product.product_product_2,2,2.34

In your test file you must declare the following statement:

TEST_SETUP_LIST = ["sale.order", "sale.order.line"]

Warning

You must declare header and lines data before create header record

Note

External reference coding is free: however is hinted to use the The 2 keys reference explained in “External reference” chapter.

Another magic relationship is the product.template (product) / product.product (variant) relationship. Whenever a product.template (product) record is created, Odoo automatically creates one variant (child) record for product.product. If your test module does not need to manage product variants you can avoid to declare product.product data even if this model is used in your test data.

For example, you have to test sale.order.line which refers to product.product. You simply declare a product.template record with external reference uses “_template” magic text.

TEST_PRODUCT_TEMPLATE = {
    "z0bug.product_template_1": {
        "name": "Product alpha",
        ...
    }
)

...

TEST_SALE_ORDER_LINE = {
    "z0bug.order_1_1": {
        "product_id": "z0bug.product_product_1",
        ...
    }
)

External reference

Every record tagged by an external reference may be:

  • Ordinary Odoo external reference (a), format “module.name”

  • Test reference, format “z0bug.name” (b)

  • Key value, format “external.key” (c)

  • 2 keys reference, for header/detail relationship (d)

  • Magic reference for product.template / product.product (e)

Ordinary Odoo external reference (a) is a record of ir.model.data; you can see them from Odoo GUI interface.

Test reference (b) are visible just in the test environment. They are identified by “z0bug.” prefix module name.

External key reference (c) is identified by “external.” prefix followed by the key value used to retrieve the record. If key value is an integer it is the record “id”. The field “code” or “name” are used to search record; for account.tax the “description” field is used. Please set self.debug_level = 2 (or more) to log these field keys.

The 2 keys reference (d) needs to address child record inside header record at 2 level model (header/detail) relationship. The key MUST BE the same key of the parent record, plus “_”, plus line identifier (usually sequence field). i.e. z0bug.move_1_3 means: line with sequence 3 of account.move.line which is child of record z0bug.move_1 of account.move. Please set self.debug_level = 2 (or more) to log these relationships.

For product.template (product) you must use ‘_template’ text in reference (e). TestEnv inherit product.product (variant) external reference (read above “Magic relationship”).

Examples:

TEST_ACCOUNT_ACCOUNT = {
    "z0bug.customer_account": {
        "code": "", ...
    }
    "z0bug.supplier_account": {
        "code": "111100", ...
    }
)

...

self.resource_edit(
    partner,
    web_changes = [
        ("country_id", "base.it"),       # Odoo external reference (type a)
        ("property_account_receivable_id",
         "z0bug.customer_account"),      # Test reference (type b)
        ("property_account_payable_id",
         "external.111100"),             # External key (type c)
    ],
)

Module test execution session

Introduction

Module test execution workflow should be:

  1. Data declaration, in file .csv or .xlszìx or in source code

  2. Base data creation, in setUp() function

  3. Tests execution

  4. Supplemental data creation, during test execution, by group name

Test data may be managed by one or more data group; if not declared, “base” group name is used. The “base” group will be created at the setUp() level: it is the base test data. Testing function may declare and manage other group data. Look at the following example:

import os
import logging
from .testenv import MainTest as SingleTransactionCase

_logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

TEST_PRODUCT_TEMPLATE = {
    "z0bug.product_template_1": {...}
}
TEST_RES_PARTNER = {
    "z0bug.partner1": {...}
)
TEST_SETUP_LIST = ["res.partner", "product.template"]

TEST_SALE_ORDER = {
    "z0bug.order_1": {
        "partner_id": "z0bug.partner1",
        ...
    }
}
TEST_SALE_ORDER_LINE = {
    "z0bug.order_1_1": {
        "product_id": "z0bug.product_product_1",
        ...
    }
)

class MyTest(SingleTransactionCase):

    def setUp(self):
        super().setUp()
        self.debug_level = 2
        self.setup_env()                # Create base test environment

    def test_something(self):
        # Now add Sale Order data, group "order"
        self.setup_env(group="order", setup_list=["sale.order", "sale.order.line"])

Note the external reference are globals and they are visible from any groups. After base data is created, the real test session can begin. You can simulate various situation; the most common are:

  1. Simulate web form create record

  2. Simulate web form update record

  3. Simulate the multi-record windows action

  4. Download any binary data created by test

  5. Engage wizard

Note

You can also create / update record with usually create() / write() Odoo function, but they do not really simulate the user behavior because they do not engage the onchange methods, they do not load any view and so on.

The real best way to test a create record is like the follow example based on res.partner model:

partner = self.resource_edit(
    resource="res.partner",
    web_changes=[
        ("name", "Adam"),
        ("country_id", "base.us"),
        ...
    ],
)

You can also simulate the update session, issuing the record:

partner = self.resource_edit(
    resource=partner,
    web_changes=[
        ("name", "Adam Prime"),
        ...
    ],
)

Look at resource_edit() documentation for furthermore details.

In you test session you should need to test a wizard. This test is very easy to execute as in the follow example that engage the standard language install wizard:

# We engage language translation wizard with "it_IT" language
# see "<ODOO_PATH>/addons/base/module/wizard/base_language_install*"
_logger.info("🎺 Testing wizard.lang_install()")
act_windows = self.wizard(
    module="base",
    action_name="action_view_base_language_install",
    default={
        "lang": "it_IT"
        "overwrite": False,
    },
    button_name="lang_install",
)
self.assertTrue(
    self.is_action(act_windows),
    "No action returned by language install"
)
# Now we test the close message
self.wizard(
    act_windows=act_windows
)
self.assertTrue(
    self.env["res.lang"].search([("code", "=", "it_IT")]),
    "No language %s loaded!" % "it_IT"
)

Look at wizard() documentation for furthermore details.

Data values

Data values may be raw data (string, number, dates, etc.) or external reference or some macro. You can declare data value on your own but you can discover the full test environment in https://github.com/zeroincombenze/zerobug-test/mk_test_env/ and get data from this environment.

Note

The fields company_id and currency_id may be empty to use default value. If you want to issue no value, do not declare column in model file (csv or xlsx).

You can evaluate the field value engaging a simple python expression inside tags like in following syntax:

“<?odoo EXPRESSION ?>”

The expression may be a simple python expression with following functions:

function

description

example

compute_date

Compute date

<?odoo compute_date(‘<###-##-##’)[0:4] ?>

random

Generate random number from 0.0 to 1.0

<?odoo int(random() * 1000) ?>

ref

Odoo reference self.env.ref()

<?odoo ref(‘product.product_product_1’) ?>

ref[field]

field of record of external reference

<?odoo ref(‘product.product_product_1’).name ?>

ref[field]

field of record of external reference (brief)

<?odoo product.product_product_1.name ?>

company_id

If value is empty, user company is used. This behavior is not applied on res.users, res.partner, product.template and product.product models. For these models you must fill the company_id field.

When data is searched by resource_search() function on every model with company_id, the company_id field is automatically added to search domain, using ‘or’ between company_id null and company_id equal to supplied value or current user company.

boolean

You can declare boolean value:

  • by python boolean False or True

  • by integer 0 or 1

  • by string “0” or “False” or “1” or “True”

self.resource_create(
    "res.partner",
    xref="z0bug.partner1",
    values={
         {
            ...
            "supplier": False,
            "customer": "True",
            "is_company": 1,
        }
    }
)

char / text

Char and Text values are python string; please use unicode whenever is possible even when you test Odoo 10.0 or less.

self.resource_create(
    "res.partner",
    xref="z0bug.partner1",
    values={
         {
            "name": "Alpha",
            "street": "1, First Avenue"
            # Name of Caserta city
            "city": "<? base.state_it_ce.name ?>",
            # Reference: 'year/123'
            "ref": "<? compute_date('####-##-##')[0:4] + '/123' ?>",
        }
    }
)

integer / float / monetary

Integer, Floating and Monetary values are python integer or float. If numeric value is issued as string, it is internally converted as integer/float.

self.resource_create(
    "res.partner",
    xref="z0bug.partner1",
    values={
         {
            ...
            "color": 1,
            "credit_limit": 500.0,
            "payment_token_count": "0",
        }
    }
)

date / datetime

Date and Datetime value are managed in special way. They are processed by compute_date() function (read below). You can issue a single value or a 2 values list, 1st is the date, 2nd is the reference date.

self.resource_create(
    "res.partner",
    xref="z0bug.partner1",
    values={
         {
            ...
            "activity_date_deadline": "####-1>-##",    # Next month
            "signup_expiration": "###>-##-##",         # Next year
            "date": -1,                                # Yesterday
            "last_time_entries_checked":
                [+2, another_date],                    # 2 days after another day
            "message_last_post": "2023-06-26",         # Specific date, ISO format
        }
    }
)

many2one

You can issue an integer (if you know exactly the ID) or an external reference. Read above about external reference.

self.resource_create(
    "res.partner",
    xref="z0bug.partner1",
    values={
         {
            ...
            "country_id": "base.it",                   # Odoo external reference
            "property_account_payable_id":
                "z0bug.customer_account",              # Test record
            "title": "external.Mister"                 # Record with name=="Mister"
        }
    }
)

one2many / many2many

The one2many and many2many field may contains one or more ID; every ID use the same above many2one notation with external reference. Value may be a string (just 1 value) or a list.

self.resource_create(
    "res.partner",
    xref="z0bug.partner1",
    values={
         {
            ...
            "bank_ids":
                [
                    "base.bank_partner_demo",
                    "base_iban.bank_iban_china_export",
                ],
            "category_id": "base.res_partner_category_0",
        }
    }
)

Note

You can also use tha classic Odoo syntax with commands: You can integrate classic Odoo syntax with z0bug_odoo external reference.

  • [0, 0, values (dict)] # CREATE record and link

  • [1, ID (int), values (dict)] # UPDATE linked record

  • [2, ID (int)] # DELETE linked record by ID

  • [3, ID (int)] # UNLINK record ID (do not delete record)

  • [4, ID (int)] # LINK record by ID

  • [5, x] or [5] # CLEAR unlink all record IDs

  • [6, x, IDs (list)] # SET link record IDs

binary

Binary file are supplied with os file name. Test environment load file and get binary value. File must be located in tests/data directory.

self.resource_create(
    "res.partner",
    xref="z0bug.partner1",
    values={
         {
            ...
            "image": "z0bug.partner1.png"
        }
    }
)

Functions

cast_types

cast_types(self, resource, values, fmt=None, group=None, not_null=False)

Convert resource fields in appropriate type, based on Odoo type.

Args:
resource (str): Odoo model name
values (dict): record data
fmt (selection): output format
group (str): used to manager group data; default is “base”

Returns:
Appropriate values

The parameter fmt declares the purpose of casting and declare the returned format of <2many> fields as follows table:

                                | fmt=='cmd'         | fmt=='id'  | fmt=='py'
<2many> [(0|1,x,dict)]          | [(0|1,x,dict)] *   | [dict] *   | [dict] *
<2many> [(0|1,x,xref)]          | [(0|1,x,dict)]     | [dict]     | [dict]
<2many> [(2|3|4|5,id)]          | as is              | as is      | as is
<2many> [(2|3|4|5,xref)]        | [(2|3|4|5,id)]     | as is      | as is
<2many> [(6,0,[ids])]           | as is              | [ids]      | [ids]
<2many> [(6,0,xref)]            | [(6,0,[id])]       | [id]       | [id]
<2many> [(6,0,[xref,...])]      | [(6,0,[ids])]      | [ids]      | [ids]
<2many> dict                    | [(0,0,dict)        | [dict]     | [dict]
<2many> xref (exists)           | [(6,0,[id])]       | [id]       | [id]
<2many> xref (not exists)       | [(0,0,dict)]       | [dict]     | [dict]
<2many> [xref] (exists)         | [(6,0,[id])]       | [id]       | [id]
<2many> [xref] (not exists)     | [(0,0,dict)]       | [dict]     | [dict]
<2many> [xref,...] (exists)     | [(6,0,[ids])]      | [ids]      | [ids]
<2many> [xref,...] (not exists) | [(0,0,dict),(...)] | [dict,...] | [dict,...]
<2many> [ids] **                | [(6,0,[ids])]      | [ids]      | [ids]
<2many> id                      | [(6,0,[id])]       | [id]       | [id]
<2many> "xref,..." (exists)     | [(6,0,[ids])]      | [ids]      | [ids]
<2many> "xref,..." (not exists) | [(0,0,dict),(...)] | [dict,...] | [dict,...]

Caption: dict -> {'a': 'A', ..}, xref -> "abc.def", id -> 10, ids -> 1,2,...
* fields of dict are recursively processed
** ids 1-6 have processed as Odoo cmd

fmt == ‘cmd’ means convert to Odoo API format: <2many> fields are returned with prefixed 0|1|2|3|4|5|6 value (read _cast_2many docs).

fmt == ‘id’ is like ‘cmd’: prefix are added inside dict not at the beginning.

fmt == ‘py’ means convert to native python (remove all Odoo command prefixes). It is used for comparison.

When no format is required (fmt is None), some conversion may be not applicable:

<many2one> field will be left unchanged when invalid xref is issued and <2many> field me will be left unchanged when one or more invalid xref are issued.

str, int, long, selection, binary, html fields are always left as is

date, datetime fields and fmt==’cmd’ and python2 (odoo <= 10.0) return ISO format many2one fields, if value is (int|long) are left as is; if value is (xref) the id of xref is returned.

Note

Odoo one2many valid cmd are: 0,1 and 2 (not checked)

store_resource_data

store_resource_data(self, resource, xref, values, group=None, name=None)

Store a record data definition for furthermore use.

Args:
resource (str): Odoo model name
xref (str): external reference
values (dict): record data
group (str): used to manager group data; default is “base”
name (str): label of dataset; default is resource name

Data stored is used by setup_env() function and/or by:

  • resource_create() without values

  • resource_write() without values

  • resource_make() without values

compute_date

compute_date(self, date, refdate=None)

Compute date or datetime against today or a reference date.

Args:
date (date or string or integer): text date formula
refdate (date or string): reference date

Date may be:

  • python date/datetime value

  • string with ISO format “YYYY-MM-DD” or “YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS”

  • string value that is a relative date against today or reference date

Relative string format is like ISO, with 3 groups separated by ‘-’ (dash). Every group may be an integer or a special notation:

  • starting with ‘<’ meas subtract; i.e. ‘<2’ means minus 2

  • ending with ‘>’ meas add; i.e. ‘2>’ means plus 2

  • ‘#’ with ‘<’ or ‘>’ means 1; i.e. ‘<###’ means minus 1

  • all ‘#’ means same value of reference date

A special notation ‘+N’ and ‘-N’, where N is an integer means add N days or subtract N day from reference date. Here, in following examples, are used python iso date convention:

  • ‘+N’: return date + N days to refdate (python timedelta)

  • ‘-N’: return date - N days from refdate (python timedelta)

  • ‘%Y-%m-%d’: strftime of issued value

  • ‘%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S’: same datetime

  • ‘%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S’: same datetime

  • ‘####-%m-%d’: year from refdate (or today), month ‘%m’, day ‘%d’

  • ‘####-##-%d’: year and month from refdate (or today), day ‘%d’

  • ‘2024-##-##’: year 2024, month and day from refdate (or today)

  • ‘<###-%m-%d’: year -1 from refdate (or today), month ‘%m’, day ‘%d’

  • ‘<001-%m-%d’: year -1 from refdate (or today), month ‘%m’, day ‘%d’

  • ‘<###-#>-%d’: year -1 from refdate, month +1 from refdate, day ‘%d’

  • ‘<005-2>-##’: year -5, month +2 and day from refdate

Notes:
  • Returns a ISO format string.

  • Returned date is a valid date; i.e. ‘####-#>-31’, with ref month January result ‘####-02-31’ becomes ‘####-03-03’

  • To force last day of month, set ‘99’: i.e. ‘####-<#-99’ becomes the last day of previous month of refdate

resource_browse

resource_browse(self, xref, raise_if_not_found=True, resource=None, group=None)

Bind record by xref, searching it or browsing it. This function returns a record using issued parameters. It works in follow ways:

  • With valid xref it work exactly like self.env.ref()

  • If xref is an integer it works exactly like self.browse()

  • I xref is invalid, xref is used to search record
    • xref is searched in stored data

    • xref (“MODULE.NAME”): if MODULE == “external”, NAME is the record key

Args:
xref (str): external reference
raise_if_not_found (bool): raise exception if xref not found or
if more records found
resource (str): Odoo model name, i.e. “res.partner”
group (str): used to manager group data; default is “base”

Returns:
obj: the Odoo model record

Raises:
ValueError: if invalid parameters issued

resource_create

Create a test record and set external ID to next tests. This function works as standard Odoo create() with follow improvements:

  • It can create external reference too

  • It can use stored data if no values supplied

  • Use new api even on Odoo 7.0 or less

Args:
resource (str): Odoo model name, i.e. “res.partner”
values (dict): record data (default stored data)
xref (str): external reference to create
group (str): used to manager group data; default is “base”

Returns:
obj: the Odoo model record, if created

resource_write

Update a test record. This function works as standard Odoo write() with follow improvements:

  • If resource is a record, xref is ignored (it should be None)

  • It resource is a string, xref must be a valid xref or an integer

  • If values is not supplied, record is restored to stored data values

def resource_write(self, resource, xref=None, values=None, raise_if_not_found=True, group=None):

Args:

resource (str|obj): Odoo model name or record to update xref (str): external reference to update: required id resource is string values (dict): record data (default stored data) raise_if_not_found (bool): raise exception if xref not found or if more records found group (str): used to manager group data; default is “base”

Returns:

obj: the Odoo model record

Raises:

ValueError: if invalid parameters issued

resource_make

def get_resource_list(self, group=None):

Args:

group (str): if supplied select specific group data; default is “base”

setup_company

Setup company values for current user.

This function assigns company to current user and / or can create xref aliases and /or can update company values. This function is useful in multi companies tests where different company values will be used in different tests. May be used in more simple test where company data will be updated in different tests. You can assign partner_xref to company base by group; then all tests executed after setup_env(), use the assigned partner data for company of the group. You can also create more companies and assign one of them to test by group.

Args:
company (obj): company to update; if not supplied a new company is created
xref (str): external reference or alias for main company
partner_xref (str): external reference or alias for main company partner
recv_xref (str): external reference or alias for receivable account

values (dict): company data to update immediately
group (str): if supplied select specific group data; default is “base”

Returns:
default company for user

setup_env

Create all record from declared data.

This function starts the test workflow creating the test environment. Test data must be declared before engage this function by file .csv or file .xlsx or by source declaration TEST_<MODEL>.

setup_env may be called more times with different group value. If it is called with the same group, it recreates the test environment with declared values; however this feature might do not work for some reason: i.e. if test creates a paid invoice, the setup_env() cannot unlink invoice. If you want to recreate the same test environment, assure the conditions for unlink of all created and tested records.

If you create more test environment with different group you can grow the data during test execution with complex scenario. In this way you can create functional tests not only regression tests.

Args:
lang (str): install & load specific language
locale (str): install locale module with CoA; i.e l10n_it
group (str): if supplied select specific group data; default is “base”
source (str): values are (“local”|”zerobug”)
setup_list (list): list of Odoo modelS; if missed use TEST_SETUP_LIST
data_dir (str): data directory, default is “tests/data”

Returns:
None

resource_edit

Server-side web form editing.

Ordinary Odoo test use the primitive create() and write() function to manage test data. These methods create an update records, but they do not properly reflect the behaviour of user editing form with GUI interface.

This function simulates the client-side form editing in the server-side. It works in the follow way:

  • It can simulate the form create record

  • It can simulate the form update record

  • It can simulate the user data input

  • It calls the onchange functions automatically

  • It may be used to call button in the form

User action simulation:

The parameter <web_changes> is a list of user actions to execute sequentially. Every element of the list is another list with 2 or 3 values:

  • Field name to assign value

  • Value to assign

  • Optional function to execute (i.e. specific onchange)

If field is associated to an onchange function the relative onchange functions are execute after value assignment. If onchange set another field with another onchange the relative another onchange are executed until all onchange are exhausted. This behavior is the same of the form editing.

Warning: because function are always executed at the server side the behavior may be slightly different from actual form editing. Please take note of following limitations:

  • update form cannot simulate discard button

  • some required data in create must be supplied by default parameter

  • form inconsistency cannot be detected by this function

  • nested function must be managed by test code (i.e. wizard from form)

See test_testenv module for test examples https://github.com/zeroincombenze/zerobug-test/tree/12.0/test_testenv

def resource_edit(self, resource, default={}, web_changes=[], actions=[], ctx={}):

Args:

resource (str or obj): if field is a string simulate create web behavior of Odoo model issued in resource; if field is an obj simulate write web behavior on the issued record default (dict): default value to assign web_changes (list): list of tuples (field, value); see <wiz_edit>

Returns:

windows action to execute or obj record

wizard

Execute a full wizard.

Engage the specific wizard, simulate user actions and return the wizard result, usually a windows action.

It is useful to test:

  • view names

  • wizard structure

  • wizard code

Both parameters <module> and <action_name> must be issued in order to call <wiz_by_action_name>; they are alternative to act_windows.

* Example of use *

XML view file:
    <record id="action_example" model="ir.actions.act_window">
        <field name="name">Example</field>
        <field name="res_model">wizard.example</field>
        [...]
    </record>

Python code:

act_windows = self.wizard(module="module_example",
    action_name="action_example", ...)
if self.is_action(act_windows):
    act_windows = self.wizard(act_windows=act_windows, ...)

User action simulation:

The parameter <web_changes> is a list of user actions to execute sequentially. Every element of the list is another list with 2 or 3 values:

  • Field name to assign value

  • Value to assign

  • Optional function to execute (i.e. specific onchange)

If field is associated to an onchange function the relative onchange functions are execute after value assignment. If onchange set another field with another onchange the relative another onchange are executed until all onchange are exhausted. This behavior is the same of the form editing.

def wizard(self, module=None, action_name=None, act_windows=None, records=None, default=None, ctx={}, button_name=None, web_changes=[], button_ctx={},):

Args:

module (str): module name for wizard to test; if “.” use current module name action_name (str): action name act_windows (dict): Odoo windows action (do not issue module & action_name) records (obj): objects required by the download wizard default (dict): default value to assign ctx (dict): context to pass to wizard during execution button_name (str): function name to execute at the end of then wizard web_changes (list): list of tuples (field, value); see above button_ctx (dict): context to pass to button_name function

Returns:

result of the wizard

Raises:

ValueError: if invalid parameters issued

validate_record

Validate records against template values. During the test will be necessary to check result record values. This function aim to validate all the important values with one step. You have to issue 2 params: template with expected values and record to check. You can declare just some field value in template which are important for you. Both template and record are lists, record may be a record set too. This function do following steps:

  • matches templates and record, based on template supplied data

  • check if all template are matched with 1 record to validate

  • execute self.assertEqual() for every field in template

  • check for every template record has matched with assert

def validate_records(self, template, records):

Args:

template (list of dict): list of dictionaries with expected values records (list or set): records to validate values

Returns:

list of matched coupled (template, record) + # of assertions

Raises:

ValueError: if no enough assertions or one assertion is failed

get_records_from_act_windows

Get records from a windows message.

def get_records_from_act_windows(self, act_windows):

Args:

act_windows (dict): Odoo windows action returned by a wizard

Returns:

records or False

Raises:

ValueError: if invalid parameters issued
