Odoo Automated Tests

Overview

Odoo has a built-in testing framework based on Python's unittest. This skill helps you write TransactionCase unit tests, HttpCase integration tests, and JavaScript tour tests. It also covers running tests in CI pipelines.

When to Use This Skill

• Writing unit tests for a custom model's business logic.
• Creating an HTTP test to verify a controller endpoint.
• Debugging test failures in a CI pipeline.
• Setting up automated test execution with --test-enable.

How It Works

1. Activate: Mention @odoo-automated-tests and describe the feature to test.
2. Generate: Get complete test class code with setup, teardown, and assertions.
3. Run: Get the exact odoo CLI command to execute your tests.

Examples

Example 1: TransactionCase Unit Test (Odoo 15+ pattern)

# tests/test_hospital_patient.py
from odoo.tests.common import TransactionCase
from odoo.tests import tagged
from odoo.exceptions import ValidationError

@tagged('post_install', '-at_install')
class TestHospitalPatient(TransactionCase):

    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        # Use setUpClass for performance — runs once per class, not per test
        super().setUpClass()
        cls.Patient = cls.env['hospital.patient']
        cls.doctor = cls.env['res.users'].browse(cls.env.uid)

    def test_create_patient(self):
        patient = .Patient.create({
            : ,
            : .doctor.,
        })
        .assertEqual(patient.state, )
        .assertEqual(patient.name, )

     ():
        patient = .Patient.create({: })
        patient.action_confirm()
        .assertEqual(patient.state, )

     ():
         .assertRaises(ValidationError):
            .Patient.create({: })

     ():
        
        other_user = .env.ref()
         .assertRaises(Exception):
            .Patient.with_user(other_user).create({: })
