odoo-selenium

This package provides utilities that make it easy to quickly write and develop Odoo tests using Selenium.

Usage

Just import SeleniumCase and make your Unit Test a subclass of it. Simple as that! Here is an example that demonstrates it:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

from odoo.tests import tagged

from odoo_selenium import SeleniumCase


@tagged("-at_install", "post_install")
class TestSelenium(SeleniumCase):

    def test_login_page(self):
        self.navigate("/web/login")
        email_input = self.driver.find_element(By.ID, "login")

        self.assertEqual("Email", email_input.get_attribute("placeholder"))

Development

If you wish to contribute, it is easy to set up a development environment. Being a simple library meant to be integrated with Odoo, all that is needed is to clone the source code and start hacking away. Below you can find a simple overview of the project and its structure.

Project Structure

The project is divided in three sections, the library itself, tests and the supporting Docker files to run the test suite.

src

All library code should reside inside this folder. This is the code that will be imported by users on their Odoo tests.

tests_odoo

These are Odoo modules and form part of the test suite. Because this package is meant to be used as a utility library for Odoo, testing does not really make sense without Odoo. These modules only provide tests to be run in Odoo and verify the library integrates well and does not randomly explode.

Running the Test Suite

Since an Odoo instance is required to run the test suite, the project relies on Docker to provide this instance and other required infrastructure, like a PostgreSQL server. Running on a Docker container also means the project itself is installed as users would, meaning this environment is as close to possible as the 'real world'.

To run the test suite you can simply issue the following command:

docker compose -f .docker/chrome-compose.yaml up --build --abort-on-container-exit --force-recreate

Make sure the working directory when running said command is the repository's root. Docker automatically checks for changed files so nothing needs to be performed on your part (other than running the command above), this makes testing iterative changes really easy and quick.

By default, the test suite runs against the newest Odoo version. To run the test suite with a different Odoo version it is as easy as specifying it:

ODOO_VERSION=15 docker compose -f .docker/chrome-compose.yaml up --build --abort-on-container-exit --force-recreate

The command above will run tests against Odoo 15.0. Images are tagged as: vauxoo/odoo-selenium:${ODOO_VERSION} so if you wanted to inspect the image built above, you can simply use:

docker run -it --rm --entrypoint=/bin/bash vauxoo/odoo-selenium:15

Note: If your tests fail, and you see old code being referenced, you are using an old image! That's why --force-recreate is used.
