name: odoo-test-creator
description: Creates comprehensive test suites for Odoo 16.0 modules following Siafa project standards. This skill should be used when creating tests for Odoo modules, such as "Create tests for this module" or "Generate test cases for stock_location_usage_restriction" or "Add unit tests to validate this functionality". The skill provides test templates, patterns, and best practices specific to Odoo 16.0 Enterprise with knowledge of database constraints and common pitfalls in the Siafa codebase.

# Odoo Test Creator
## Overview
Create production-ready test suites for Odoo 16.0 Enterprise modules that follow Siafa project standards, handle database constraints properly, and provide comprehensive test coverage.
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Creating tests for new Odoo modules
- Adding test coverage to existing modules
- Validating model logic, constraints, and workflows
- Testing inherited/extended Odoo models
- Ensuring compliance with Siafa testing standards
## Test Creation Workflow
### Step 1: Analyze Module Structure
Examine the module to understand what needs testing:
1. **Identify Components to Test:**
- Models (new models or inherited models)
- Computed fields and @api.depends
- Constraints (@api.constrains and _sql_constraints)
- Onchange methods (@api.onchange)
- Business logic methods
- State transitions and workflows
- Wizards and transient models
- Reports (if applicable)
2. **Review Module Dependencies:**
- Check `__manifest__.py` for dependencies
- Identify which models from dependencies will be used
- Plan to use existing records when possible
3. **Check for Special Requirements:**
- Database constraints (NOT NULL, UNIQUE)
- Multi-company considerations
- Access rights and permissions
- Integration points with other modules
### Step 2: Set Up Test File Structure
Create the test file following Siafa standards:
```python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from odoo.tests.common import TransactionCase
from odoo.exceptions import UserError, ValidationError
class TestModuleName(TransactionCase):
"""Test cases for module_name functionality."""
def setUp(self):
"""Set up test data."""
super().setUp()
# Initialize model references
self.Model = self.env['model.name']
# Set up test data (Step 3)
```
**Critical Import Pattern:**
- ✅ Use `from odoo.tests.common import TransactionCase`
- ❌ NOT `from odoo.tests import TransactionCase`
### Step 3: Set Up Test Data
Use the appropriate pattern based on database constraints:
#### Pattern A: Use Existing Records (Preferred)
Avoid database constraint issues by using existing records:
```python
def setUp(self):
super().setUp()
self.Model = self.env['model.name']
# Use existing records from database
self.warehouse = self.env['stock.warehouse'].search([], limit=1)
if not self.warehouse:
self.skipTest("No warehouse available for testing")
self.product = self.env['product.product'].search([('type', '=', 'product')], limit=1)
if not self.product:
self.skipTest("No storable product available for testing")
self.partner = self.env['res.partner'].search([], limit=1)
if not self.partner:
self.skipTest("No partner available for testing")
```
**When to use:** For models with complex database constraints (products, partners, companies).
#### Pattern B: Create with .sudo() (When Necessary)
Create new records when specific test data is required:
```python
def setUp(self):
super().setUp()
self.Model = self.env['model.name']
# Create test data with .sudo() to bypass permissions
self.vendor = self.env['res.partner'].sudo().create({
'name': 'Test Vendor',
'is_company': True,
'supplier_rank': 1,
})
self.product = self.env['product.product'].sudo().create({
'name': 'Test Product',
'type': 'product',
'purchase_method': 'receive',
'list_price': 100.0,
'standard_price': 80.0,
})
```
**When to use:** When specific field values are required for tests or existing records may not have the right attributes.
#### Pattern C: Class-Level Setup (For Shared Data)
Use `setUpClass` for data shared across all test methods:
```python
@classmethod
def setUpClass(cls):
"""Set up test data shared across all test methods."""
super().setUpClass()
cls.vendor = cls.env['res.partner'].sudo().create({
'name': 'Test Vendor',
'is_company': True,
})
```
**When to use:** For immutable test data that doesn't change between tests (saves database operations).
### Step 4: Write Test Methods
Create test methods following these guidelines:
#### Test Naming Convention
```python
def test_01_descriptive_name(self):
"""Test description in docstring."""
pass
def test_02_another_scenario(self):
"""Test another scenario."""
pass
```
**Numbering:** Use `01`, `02`, etc. to control execution order.
#### Test Coverage Areas
Create tests for each component identified in Step 1:
**A. CRUD Operations**
```python
def test_01_create_record(self):
"""Test creating a new record with valid data."""
record = self.Model.create({
'name': 'Test Record',
'partner_id': self.partner.id,
})
self.assertTrue(record)
self.assertEqual(record.name, 'Test Record')
self.assertEqual(record.state, 'draft')
def test_02_update_record(self):
"""Test updating an existing record."""
record = self.Model.create({
'name': 'Test Record',
'partner_id': self.partner.id,
})
record.write({'name': 'Updated Record'})
self.assertEqual(record.name, 'Updated Record')
```
**B. Computed Fields**
```python
def test_03_computed_field(self):
"""Test computed field calculation."""
record = self.Model.create({
'name': 'Test Record',
'quantity': 10,
'unit_price': 5.0,
})
self.assertEqual(record.total_amount, 50.0)
# Test recomputation on dependency change
record.write({'quantity': 20})
self.assertEqual(record.total_amount, 100.0)
```
**C. Constraints**
```python
def test_04_constraint_validation(self):
"""Test constraint prevents invalid data."""
record = self.Model.create({
'name': 'Test Record',
'partner_id': self.partner.id,
})
with self.assertRaises(ValidationError) as context:
record.write({'amount': -10.0})
self.assertIn('must be positive', str(context.exception).lower())
```
**D. Onchange Methods**
```python
def test_05_onchange_method(self):
"""Test onchange method updates dependent fields."""
record = self.Model.new({
'name': 'Test Record',
})
record.partner_id = self.partner
record._onchange_partner_id()
# Verify onchange updated related fields
# self.assertEqual(record.expected_field, expected_value)
```
**E. State Transitions**
```python
def test_06_state_transition(self):
"""Test state transition workflow."""
record = self.Model.create({
'name': 'Test Record',
'partner_id': self.partner.id,
})
self.assertEqual(record.state, 'draft')
record.action_confirm()
self.assertEqual(record.state, 'confirmed')
# Test invalid transition
with self.assertRaises(UserError) as context:
record.action_confirm() # Already confirmed
self.assertIn('Cannot confirm', str(context.exception))
```
**F. Inheritance/Extension Tests**
For modules that inherit existing models:
```python
def test_07_inherited_method_override(self):
"""Test overridden method applies custom logic."""
location = self.Location.create({
'name': 'Test Location',
'usage': 'internal',
'location_id': self.parent_location.id,
})
# Create stock move using this location
self.StockMove.create({
'name': 'Test Move',
'product_id': self.product.id,
'product_uom_qty': 10,
'product_uom': self.product.uom_id.id,
'location_id': location.id,
'location_dest_id': self.parent_location.id,
})
# Test that custom validation prevents usage change
with self.assertRaises(UserError) as context:
location.write({'usage': 'inventory'})
self.assertIn('Cannot change the usage type', str(context.exception))
```
### Step 5: Handle Common Pitfalls
Apply fixes for known issues in the Siafa codebase:
#### Pitfall 1: Database Constraints
**Problem:** Creating products fails with "null value in column 'sale_line_warn' violates not-null constraint"
**Solution:** Use existing products:
```python
self.product = self.env['product.product'].search([('type', '=', 'product')], limit=1)
```
#### Pitfall 2: HTML Field Comparisons
**Problem:** HTML fields return `Markup` objects: `Markup('<p>Text</p>') != 'Text'`
**Solution:** Use non-HTML fields or convert to string:
```python
# Instead of comment field
self.assertEqual(record.barcode, 'TEST001')
# Or convert to string
self.assertIn('expected text', str(record.html_field))
```
#### Pitfall 3: Permission Errors
**Problem:** Tests fail with access rights errors.
**Solution:** Use `.sudo()` when creating test data:
```python
self.partner = self.env['res.partner'].sudo().create({...})
```
#### Pitfall 4: Incorrect Super() Call
**Problem:** Using old-style `super(ClassName, self).setUp()`
**Solution:** Use modern syntax:
```python
super().setUp() # ✅ Correct
```
### Step 6: Run and Validate Tests
Execute tests and verify results:
```bash
# Run tests during module update
python3 src/odoo-bin -c src/odoo.conf -d DATABASE_NAME \
--test-enable --stop-after-init \
-u MODULE_NAME
# Run with verbose output
python3 src/odoo-bin -c src/odoo.conf -d DATABASE_NAME \
--test-enable --stop-after-init \
--log-level=test \
-u MODULE_NAME
```
**Expected Output:**
```
INFO MODULE_NAME: 0 failed, 0 error(s) of N tests when loading database 'DATABASE_NAME'
```
**If tests fail:**
1. Read the full traceback carefully
2. Check for database constraint violations
3. Verify test data setup is correct
4. Ensure imports are correct
5. Review field types (especially HTML fields)
### Step 7: Document Tests
Add comprehensive docstrings to each test method:
```python
def test_prevent_usage_change_with_moves(self):
"""
Test that location usage cannot be changed when moves exist.
This test verifies that the module prevents changing a location's
usage type after it has been used in stock movements, protecting
data integrity.
"""
# Test implementation
```

## Best Practices
1. **Always use existing records when possible** to avoid database constraints
2. **Test both success and failure cases** for comprehensive coverage
3. **Verify error messages** when testing exceptions
4. **Use .sudo() for test data creation** to bypass permission issues
5. **Add descriptive docstrings** to every test method
6. **Number test methods** for predictable execution order
7. **Keep tests isolated** - each test should work independently
8. **Test edge cases** - empty data, maximum values, invalid combinations
9. **Follow naming conventions** - clear, descriptive test names
10. **Run tests frequently** during development to catch issues early

# Odoo 16.0 Test Patterns and Best Practices
This document provides comprehensive patterns and best practices for writing tests in Odoo 16.0 Enterprise modules, based on the Siafa project standards.
## Table of Contents
1. [Test Infrastructure](#test-infrastructure)
2. [Common Setup Patterns](#common-setup-patterns)
3. [Database Constraints](#database-constraints)
4. [Test Organization](#test-organization)
5. [Assertion Patterns](#assertion-patterns)
6. [Common Pitfalls](#common-pitfalls)
## Test Infrastructure
### Import Statement
Always use the correct import for `TransactionCase`:
```python
from odoo.tests.common import TransactionCase
from odoo.exceptions import UserError, ValidationError
```
**Note:** Use `from odoo.tests.common import TransactionCase`, NOT `from odoo.tests import TransactionCase`.
### Base Test Class
```python
class TestModuleName(TransactionCase):
"""Test cases for module functionality."""
def setUp(self):
"""Set up test data."""
super().setUp() # Use super().setUp() not super(ClassName, self).setUp()
# Initialize models
self.Model = self.env['model.name']
# Set up test data
# ...
```
## Common Setup Patterns
### Using Existing Records
**Preferred Pattern:** Use existing database records when possible to avoid database constraint issues:
```python
def setUp(self):
super().setUp()
# Use existing warehouse
self.warehouse = self.env['stock.warehouse'].search([], limit=1)
if not self.warehouse:
self.skipTest("No warehouse available for testing")
# Use existing product
self.product = self.env['product.product'].search([('type', '=', 'product')], limit=1)
if not self.product:
self.skipTest("No storable product available for testing")
```
### Creating New Records with .sudo()
When creating new records is necessary, use `.sudo()` to bypass access rights and permission issues:
```python
def setUp(self):
super().setUp()
# Create vendor
self.vendor = self.env['res.partner'].sudo().create({
'name': 'Test Vendor',
'is_company': True,
'supplier_rank': 1,
})
# Create product with minimal required fields
self.product = self.env['product.product'].sudo().create({
'name': 'Test Product',
'type': 'product',
'purchase_method': 'receive',
'list_price': 100.0,
'standard_price': 80.0,
})
```
### Class-Level Setup
For test data shared across all test methods, use `setUpClass`:
```python
@classmethod
def setUpClass(cls):
"""Set up test data shared across all test methods."""
super().setUpClass()
# Create shared test data
cls.vendor = cls.env['res.partner'].sudo().create({
'name': 'Test Vendor',
'is_company': True,
})
```
## Database Constraints
### Handling NOT NULL Constraints
Many databases have custom NOT NULL constraints. Avoid creating records that trigger these constraints:
**Problem:** Creating a product might fail due to missing `sale_line_warn` field:
```python
# ❌ May fail with "null value in column 'sale_line_warn' violates not-null constraint"
self.product = self.env['product.product'].create({
'name': 'Test Product',
'type': 'product',
})
```
**Solution 1:** Use existing records:
```python
# ✅ Use existing product from database
self.product = self.env['product.product'].search([('type', '=', 'product')], limit=1)
```
**Solution 2:** Provide all required fields (if known):
```python
# ✅ Provide the required field
self.product = self.env['product.product'].sudo().create({
'name': 'Test Product',
'type': 'product',
'sale_line_warn': 'no-message', # Required in some databases
})
```
### HTML/Markup Fields
HTML fields return `Markup` objects, not plain strings:
```python
# ❌ Fails: Markup('<p>Text</p>') != 'Text'
self.assertEqual(record.comment, 'Updated comment')
# ✅ Use a different field for testing
self.assertEqual(record.barcode, 'TEST002')
# ✅ Or convert to string
self.assertIn('Updated comment', str(record.comment))
```
## Test Organization
### Test Method Naming
Use descriptive names with numbering for execution order:
```python
def test_01_create_record(self):
"""Test creating a new record."""
pass
def test_02_update_record(self):
"""Test updating an existing record."""
pass
def test_03_validation_error(self):
"""Test that validation error is raised for invalid data."""
pass
```
### Test Coverage Areas
Comprehensive tests should cover:
1. **CRUD Operations**
- Create records with valid data
- Update records
- Read/search records
- Delete records (if applicable)
2. **Validation Logic**
- Test constraints
- Test computed fields
- Test onchange methods
3. **Business Logic**
- Test state transitions
- Test workflow methods
- Test custom methods
4. **Edge Cases**
- Test with empty data
- Test with maximum values
- Test with invalid combinations
5. **Error Handling**
- Test that appropriate errors are raised
- Test error messages are clear
## Assertion Patterns
### Basic Assertions
```python
# Equality
self.assertEqual(record.field, expected_value)
self.assertNotEqual(record.field, unexpected_value)
# Boolean
self.assertTrue(record.active)
self.assertFalse(record.archived)
# Containment
self.assertIn(item, collection)
self.assertNotIn(item, collection)
# String matching
self.assertIn('substring', record.message)
```
### Exception Testing
```python
# Test that exception is raised
with self.assertRaises(UserError) as context:
record.forbidden_action()
# Check exception message
self.assertIn('Cannot perform action', str(context.exception))
```
### Recordset Assertions
```python
# Check recordset size
self.assertEqual(len(records), 3)
# Check recordset is empty
self.assertFalse(records)
# Check record exists
self.assertTrue(record)
self.assertTrue(record.exists())
```
### Computed Field Testing
```python
# Test computed field
self.assertEqual(record.total_amount, 100.0)
# Test compute dependency
record.line_ids = [(5, 0, 0)] # Clear lines
self.assertEqual(record.total_amount, 0.0)
```
## Common Pitfalls
### 1. Product Creation Failures
**Issue:** Creating products fails due to database constraints.
**Solution:** Use existing products or create with `.sudo()` and minimal fields:
```python
self.product = self.env['product.product'].search([('type', '=', 'product')], limit=1)
```
### 2. Incorrect Import Statement
**Issue:** `from odoo.tests import TransactionCase` causes import errors.
**Solution:** Use `from odoo.tests.common import TransactionCase`
### 3. Super() Call Format
**Issue:** Using old-style super() calls.
**Solution:** Use `super().setUp()` instead of `super(ClassName, self).setUp()`
### 4. Missing .sudo()
**Issue:** Tests fail due to access rights.
**Solution:** Use `.sudo()` when creating test data:
```python
self.partner = self.env['res.partner'].sudo().create({...})
```
### 5. HTML Field Comparisons
**Issue:** Comparing HTML fields directly fails.
**Solution:** Use non-HTML fields or convert to string:
```python
# Instead of comment field, use barcode or another text field
self.assertEqual(record.barcode, 'TEST001')
```
### 6. Transaction Isolation
**Issue:** Tests affect each other due to shared data.
**Solution:** Each test method runs in its own transaction (automatic with `TransactionCase`)
### 7. Insufficient Error Checking
**Issue:** Not verifying error messages.
**Solution:** Always check exception messages:
```python
with self.assertRaises(UserError) as context:
record.action()
self.assertIn('expected error message', str(context.exception))
```
### 8. Missing Test Documentation
**Issue:** Tests without docstrings are hard to understand.
**Solution:** Always add descriptive docstrings:
```python
def test_prevent_usage_change_with_moves(self):
"""Test that usage cannot be changed when location has stock moves."""
# ...
```
## Running Tests
### Command Patterns
```bash
# Run tests during module installation
python3 src/odoo-bin -c src/odoo.conf -d DATABASE_NAME \
--test-enable --stop-after-init \
-i MODULE_NAME
# Run tests during module update
python3 src/odoo-bin -c src/odoo.conf -d DATABASE_NAME \
--test-enable --stop-after-init \
-u MODULE_NAME
# Run with verbose output
python3 src/odoo-bin -c src/odoo.conf -d DATABASE_NAME \
--test-enable --stop-after-init \
--log-level=test \
-u MODULE_NAME
```
### Test Tags
Tag tests for selective execution:
```python
from odoo.tests import TransactionCase, tagged
@tagged('post_install', '-at_install', 'module_name')
class TestModuleName(TransactionCase):
"""Test cases with tags."""
pass
```
Run tagged tests:
```bash
python3 src/odoo-bin -c src/odoo.conf -d DATABASE_NAME \
--test-enable --stop-after-init \
--test-tags module_name
```
