z0bug-odoo 2.0.20

Odoo testing framework

Overview

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:

• .travis.yml

• requirements.txt

• oca_dependencies.txt

File .travis.yml

In order to setup TravisCI continuous integration for your project, just copy the content of the sample_files to your project’s root directory.

Then execute the command:

make_travis_conf <TOOLS_PATH>/travis_emulator/template_travis.yml .travis.yml

You can check travis syntax with the lint checker of travis, if available.

Notice: if you do not use travisCi web site, you can avoid to set .travis.yml file. Local travis emulator and z0bug_odoo create local .travis.yml dinamically.

Odoo test integration

Current Odoo project version is declared by VERSION variable. If your Odoo module must be tested against Odoo core, you can test specific github repository by ODOO_REPO variable. You can test against:

• odoo/odoo

• OCA/OCB

• zeroincombenze/OCB

You can test against specific Odoo core version with ODOO_BRANCH variable if differs from your project version:

# Odoo Branch 16.0
- VERSION="16.0" ODOO_REPO="odoo/odoo"

# Pull request odoo/odoo#143 (not in local)
-  VERSION="pull/143" ODOO_REPO="OCA/OCB"

# Branch saas-17
- ODOO_REPO="odoo/odoo" ODOO_BRANCH="saas-17"

OCB / core test

Zeroincombenze® OCB uses submodules. When test is starting, travis-ci upgrades repository and submodules. To avoid submodules upgrade use this directive compatible with OCA MQT:

- git:
  submodules: false

z0bg_odoo set security environment. You do not need to add any security statements. You can avoid the following OCA MQT directive:

- pip install urllib3[secure] --upgrade; true

z0bg_odoo does some code upgrade. You can avoid following directive in ODOO_TEST_SELECT=”APPLICATIONS”:

- sed -i "s/self.url_open(url)/self.url_open(url, timeout=100)/g" ${TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR}/addons/website/tests/test_crawl.py;

You can avoid following directive in ODOO_TEST_SELECT=”LOCALIZATION”:

- sed -i "/'_auto_install_l10n'/d" ${TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR}/addons/account/__manifest__.py

Python version

Odoo version from 6.1 to 10.0 are tested with python 2.7 From Odoo 11.0, python3 is used. You can test against 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 python versions. Python 3.5 still works but support is ended. This is the declaration:

python:
  - "3.6"       # Odoo 11.0 12.0
  - "3.7"       # Odoo 12.0
  - "3.8"       # Odoo 13.0 14.0
  - "3.9"       # Odoo 15.0 16.0
  - "3.10"      # Odoo 17.0

Note

python 3.5 support is ended on 2020 and 3,6 is ended on 2021.

Warning

Currently, some Odoo version cannot support python 3.8+. See above.

Deployment and setup environment

In order to deploy test environment and setup code you have to declare some .travis.yml directives divides in following 3 parts:

• Linux packages needed

• PYPI packages

• Odoo repositories dependencies

Linux packages must be declared in <addons/apt> section of .travis.yml using Ubuntu namespace. If you run test in local environment, travis emulator automatically translate Ubuntu names into your local distro names, if necessary. See travis emulator guide for furthermore info.

The PYPI packages, installable by PIP are declared in standard PIP way, using requirements.txt file.

If your project depends on other Odoo Github repositories like OCA, create a file called oca_dependencies.txt at the root of your project and list the dependencies there. One per line like so:

project_name optional_repository_url optional_branch_name

During testbed setup, z0bug_odoo will automatically download and place these repositories accordingly into the addon path. Note on addons path ordering: they will be placed after your own repo, but before the odoo core repo.

If missed optional_repository_url, the repository is searched for repository with the same owner of tested project.

Note

This behaviour differs from OCA MQT

OCA MQT always loads OCA repository while z0bug_odoo searches for current owner repository. So you will test both with z0bug_odoo and both OCA MQT, always insert the full repository URL.

Test execution

Tests run by travis_run_test command. The script is deployed in _travis directory of zerobug package. Command have to be in <script> section of .travis.yml file:

script:
    - travis_run_tests

Isolated pylint+flake8 checks

If you want to make a build for these checks, you can add a line on the <env> section of the .travis.yml file with this content:

- VERSION="12.0" LINT_CHECK="1"

To avoid making again these checks on other builds, you have to add LINT_CHECK=”0” variable on the line:

- VERSION="12.0" ODOO_REPO="odoo/odoo" LINT_CHECK="0"

You can superset above options in local travis emulator.

Reduced set of lint check

You can execute reduced set of check, in order to gradually evolve your code quality when you meet too many errors.

To enable reduced set of check add one of follow lines:

- LINT_CHECK="1" LINT_CHECK_LEVEL="MINIMAL"
- LINT_CHECK="1" LINT_CHECK_LEVEL="REDUCED"
- LINT_CHECK="1" LINT_CHECK_LEVEL="AVERAGE"
- LINT_CHECK="1" LINT_CHECK_LEVEL="NEARBY"
- LINT_CHECK="1" LINT_CHECK_LEVEL="OCA"

Odoo core has internal pylint test that checks for all modules even the dependecies. So if some dependecies module does not meet this test, then the full travis test fails without testing the target repository.

Please, add test_lint to EXCLUDE variable to avoid this fail-over. See below for furthermore informations.

Look at follow table to understand which tests are disabled at specific level:

Disable some pylint and/or flake8 checks

You can disable some specific test or some file from lint checks.

To disable flake8 checks on specific file you can add following line at the beginning of python file:

# flake8: noqa

To disable pylint checks on specific file you can add following line at the beginning of python file:

# pylint: skip-file

To disable both flake8 and pylint checks on specific file you can add following line at the beginning of python file:

# flake8: noqa - pylint: skip-file

To disable pylint checks on specific XML file you can add following line in XML file after xml declaration:

<!-- pylint:disable=deprecated-data-xml-node -->

You can disable specific flake8 check in some source part of python file adding a comment at the same statement to disable check. Here an example to disable sql error (notice comment must be at beginning of the statement):

from builtins import *  # noqa: F403

If you have to disable more than one error you can add following declaration:

from builtins import *  # noqa

You can also disable specific pylint check in some source part of python file adding a comment at the same statement to disable check. Here an example to disable sql error (notice comment must be at beginning of the statement):

self._cr.execute()      # pylint: disable=E8103

Disable unit test

If you want to make a build without tests, you can use the following directive: TEST_ENABLE="0"

You will simply get the databases with packages installed, but without running any tests.

Reduced set of unit test

Odoo modules may fail in Travis CI or in local environment. Currently Odoo OCB core tests fail; we are investigating for the causes. However you can use a simple workaround, disabling some test. Currently tests fail are:

• test_impex

• test_ir_actions

• test_lint

• test_main_flows

• test_search

• test_user_has_group

Example:

- export EXCLUDE=test_impex,test_ir_actions,test_lint,test_main_flows,test_search,test_user_has_group
- TESTS="1" ODOO_TEST_SELECT="ALL"
- TESTS="1" ODOO_TEST_SELECT="NO-CORE"
- ....

You can set parameter local GBL_EXCLUDE to disable these test for all repositories. You will be warned that local GBL_EXCLUDE has only effect for local emulation. To avoid these test on web travis-ci you have to set EXCLUDE value in .travis.yml file.

Look at follow table to understand which set of tests are enabled or disabled:

statement	application	local module	odoo/addons	addons + dependencies
ALL
APPLICATIONS				Only if application
LOCALIZATION				Only local modules
CORE
NO-APPLICATION				No if application
NO-LOCALIZATION				No local modules
NO-CORE

Dependencies test

Since late Summer 2021, z0bug_odoo checks for dependencies. This test is a sub test of unit test. This is the directive:

- TESTS="1" TEST_DEPENDENCIES="1"

Module unit tests

z0bug_odoo is also capable to test each module individually. The intention is to check if all dependencies are correctly defined. Activate it through the UNIT_TEST directive. An additional line should be added to the env: section, similar to this one:

- VERSION="12.0" UNIT_TEST="1"

Automatic module translation

Since late Summer 2021, z0bug_odoo activate automatic module translation after test ended with success. This is the directive:

- VERSION="12.0" ODOO_TNLBOT="1"

This feature is still experimental.

Names used for the test databases

z0bug_odoo has a nice feature of organizing your testing databases. You might want to do that if you want to double them up as staging DBs or if you want to work with an advanced set of templates in order to speed up your CI pipeline. Just specify at will:

MQT_TEMPLATE_DB='odoo_template' MQT_TEST_DB='odoo_test'

In your local travis you can declare the default value but these values are not applied in web TravisCi web site.

Database user is the current username. This behavior works both in local test both in TravisCi web site. However, sometimes, local user and db username can be different. You can set the default value in travis emulator.

Coveralls/Codecov configuration file

Coveralls and Codecov services provide information on the test coverage of your modules. Currently both configurations are automatic (check default configuration here. So, as of today, you don’t need to include a .coveragerc into the repository, If you do it, it will be simply ignored.

Other configurations

You can highly customize you test: look at below table.

Debug information

If you declare the following directive in <env global> section:

TRAVIS_DEBUG_MODE="n"

where “n” means:

Parameter	0	1	2	3	9
Informative messages
Inspect internal data
MQT tests
Installation log level	ERROR	WARN	INFO	INFO
Execution log level	INFO	TEST	TEST	TEST

Note this feature does not work with OCA MQT. Local test and TravisCI test have slightly different behavior.

When MQT is execute in local environment the value

TRAVIS_DEBUG_MODE="9"

does not execute unit test. It is used to debug MQT itself.

See local travis emulator

Tree directory

While travis is running this is the tree directory:

${HOME}                         # home of virtual environment (by TravisCI)
┣━━ build                       # build root (by TravisCI)

(0) Same behavior of OCA MQT
(1) Cloned odoo/odoo or OCA/OCB repository to check compatibility of testing modules
(2) If the testing project is OCB, travis_install_env ignore this directory
(3) Done by then following statements in .travis.yml:
    - travis_install_env
    Above statements replace the OCA statements:
    - travis_install_nightly
(4) Done by following statements in .travis.yml::
    - git clone https://github.com/zeroincombenze/tools.git ${HOME}/tools --depth=1
    - \${HOME}/tools/install_tools.sh -qpt
    - source ${HOME}/devel/activate_tools -t
    Above statements replace OCA following statements:
    - git clone https://github.com/OCA/maintainer-quality-tools.git ${HOME}/maintainer-quality-tools --depth=1
    - export PATH=${HOME}/maintainer-quality-tools/travis:${PATH}

TestEnv: the test environment

TestEnv makes available a test environment ready to use in order to test your Odoo module in quick and easy way.

The purpose of this software are:

• Create the Odoo test environment with records to use for your test

• Make available some useful functions to test your module

• Simulate the wizard to test wizard functions (wizard simulator)

• Environment running different Odoo modules versions

• Keep database after tests (with some limitations)

Please, pay attention to test data: TestEnv use internal unicode even for python 2 based Odoo (i.e. 10.0). You should declare unicode date whenever is possible.

Note

Odoo core uses unicode even on old Odoo version.

For a complete set of examples, please look at the module test_testenv in repository

Tests are based on test environment created by module mk_test_env in repository

keeping database after tests

Using zerobug in conjunction with z0bug_odoo a nice feature is available: you can keep the database after tests, so you can touch teh results or build example DB. However this feature has some limitation:

1. You can use just 1 test class, because saving is made on TearDown execution

2. You cannot create on fly record with external reference of current module name

Example 1, double test class: it does not work

class TestExample(SingleTransactionCase):
    ...

class Test2Example(SingleTransactionCase):
    ...

Example 2, module named “my_module”:

class TestExample(SingleTransactionCase):
    ...
    # Follow record with external reference "my_module.my_xref" will be
    # automaticaaly deleted by Odoo at the end of the test
    self.resource_create("my.model", xref="my_module.my_xref", ...
    # Follow record with external reference "z0bug.my_xref" works!
    self.resource_create("my.model", xref="z0bug.my_xref", ...

Names used for the test databases in testenv

zerobug and z0bug_odoo use different rule from travis emulatro to naming test database. The database name is “test_<MODULE_NAME>”.

Please, notice a template database, named “template_<MODULE_NAME>” is built before test database and then ie kept in the system. If you do not want to see template databases use following regex for dbfilter parameter inf your Odoo configuration file:

dbfilter = (?!template).*

Requirements

Ths TestEnv software requires:

• python_plus PYPI package

• z0bug_odoo PYPI package 2.0.20

• python 2.7 / 3.6 / 3.7 / 3.8

TestEnv is full integrated with Zeroincombenze® tools. See readthedocs and zeroincombenze github Zeroincombenze® tools help you to test Odoo module with pycharm.

Features

Data to use in tests are store in csv files in data directory. File names are tha name of the models (table) with characters ‘.’ (dot) replaced by ‘_’ (underscore)

Header of file must be the names of table fields.

Rows can contains value to store or Odoo external reference or macro.

For type char, text, html, int, float, monetary: value are constants inserted as is.

For type many2one: value may be an integer (record id) or Odoo external reference (format “module.name”).

For type data, datetime: value may be a constant or relative date

Usage

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 2.0.20

• 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> 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> 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

get_resource_data_list

Get declared resource data list.

def get_resource_data_list(self, resource, group=None):

Args:

resource (str): Odoo model name or name assigned, i.e. “res.partner” group (str): if supplied select specific group data; default is “base”

Returns:

list of data

get_resource_list

Get declared resource list.

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

pay_xref (str): external reference or alias for payable account

bnk1_xref (str): external reference or alias for 1st liquidity bank

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
