Question

I’m trying to run unit tests on my openERP module, but no matter what I write it doesnt show if the test passes or fails! Anyone know how to output the results of a test? (Using Windows OpenERP version 6.1)

My YAML test is:

- 
  I test the tests
-
  !python {model: mymodelname}: |
    assert False, "Testing False!"
    assert True, "Testing True!"

The output when I reload the module with
openerp-server.exe –update mymodule –log-level=test -dtestdb
shows that the test ran but has no errors?!

... TEST testdb openerp.tools.yaml_import: I test the tests

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: ———————————————————————

Ok so after much fiddling with the !python, I tried out another test:

- 
    I test that the state
-
!assert {model: mymodel, id: mymodel_id}:
    - state == 'badstate'

Which gave the expected failure:

WARNING demo_61 openerp.tools.yaml_import: Assertion "NONAME" FAILED
test: state == 'badstate'
values: ! active == badstate

So I’m guessing it is something wrong with my syntax which may work as expected in version 7.

Thanks for everyone’s answers and help!

This is what I’ve tried. It seems to work for me:

!python {model: sale.order}: |
    assert True, "Testing True!"
    assert False, "Testing False!"

(Maybe you forgot the “|” character)

And then :

bin/start_openerp --init=your_module_to_test -d your_testing_database --test-file=/absolute/path/to/your/testing_file.yml

You might want to create your testing database before :

createdb mytestdb –encoding=unicode

Hope it helps you

UPDATE: Here are my logs ( I called my test file sale_order_line_test.yml)

ERROR mytestdb openerp.tools.yaml_import: AssertionError in Python code : Testing False!
mytestdb openerp.modules.loading: At least one test failed when loading the modules.
