Automated tests: TransactionCase, Form, HttpCase and tours

Writing and running Odoo tests: test classes, tags, setup, Form emulation, HTTP and tour tests.

In this lesson

TransactionCase, setUpClass and tags
Form emulation, HttpCase and tours
Running tests and CI

Key points

tests/ imported in tests/__init__.py; TransactionCase rolls back
@tagged('post_install','-at_install'); setUpClass(cls) with cls.env
Form for UI-like behaviour; HttpCase url_open and start_tour
--test-tags /module --stop-after-init; CI on every push

Real-world example

A credit-block module passed manual testing but failed when sales orders were confirmed from the website. A TransactionCase test confirming an order as the public user reproduced it; the fix (checking the commercial partner) and the test now protect every release.

Questions and answers

How do you run only your module's tests?

--test-tags /module_name

What does Form() give you over create()?

It runs onchanges, defaults and UI logic like a user would.
