Run OpenERP 7 unittests in PyCharm

Question

I can run unit tests of my OpenERP v7 add-on as described here .

In PyCharm I did it by adding a Python configuration in Run/Debug Configuration as follows:

Script:

/home/juliocesar/work/projects/my_project/openerp-server

Script parameters:

--addons-path=openerp/addons,openerp/addons/my_addons
--log-level=test
--database=my_project_db_test
--db_host=localhost
--db_user=test
--db_password=123
--init=my_addon
--test-enable
--stop-after-init

It runs successfully but shows a standard output in text log format like the following:

2015-04-24 13:47:55,101 12340 TEST my_project openerp.modules.module: module my_addon: executing 1 `fast_suite` and/or `checks` sub-modules
2015-04-24 13:47:55,101 12340 TEST my_project openerp.modules.module: test_change_old_received_to_contingency (openerp.addons.my_addon.tests.test_my_addon.TestMyItems)
2015-04-24 13:47:55,101 12340 TEST my_project openerp.modules.module: ` Test patch to change old received status to contingency.
2015-04-24 13:47:55,110 12340 TEST my_project openerp.modules.module: Ran 1 tests in 0.006s
2015-04-24 13:47:55,110 12340 TEST my_project openerp.modules.module: OK

where it shows the results of run the following test I created in add-on my_addon of project my_project , in /home/juliocesar/work/projects/my_project/openerp/addons/my_addon/tests/test_my_addon.py :

from openerp.tests.common import TransactionCase
import unittest2

class TestMyItems(TransactionCase):

    def test_change_old_received_to_contingency(self):
        """Test patch to change old received status to contingency."""
        self.assertTrue(True)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest2.main()

What I want is to use Python tests -> Unittest configuration to display tests output with red/green icons and PyCharm interface for tests results.

Unittest configuration requires the script file where tests are located, if I specify the file, PyCharm finds all tests in the file but gives errors because the database (and other parameters like openerp-server script and the rest parameters specified in above to run OpenERP tests) is not configured:

This is the result of running this configuration:

/usr/bin/python2.7 /home/juliocesar/apps/pycharm/helpers/pycharm/utrunner.py /home/juliocesar/work/projects/my_project/openerp/addons/my_addon/tests/ false
Testing started at 09:38 AM ...
No handlers could be found for logger "openerp.sql_db"

Process finished with exit code 0

Error

    TransactionCase.cr = self.cursor()

    self._cnx = pool.borrow(dsn(dbname))

    return fun(self, *args, **kwargs)

    result = psycopg2.connect(dsn=dsn, connection_factory=PsycoConnection)

    connection_factory=connection_factory, async=async)

So, how to specify the required parameters to run OpenERP v7 unittest with a PyCharm test configuration?

I used PyCharm 4.0.6 Build #PY-139.1659, but it also doesn't works in PyCharm 5.

Answer 1

You can debug using cmd in windows enter with cmd into odoo.exe folder C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Odoo 8.0-20150719\\server and execute this command

odoo --log-level=debug

or terminal in Linux enter with terminal into odoo.py file (/usr/bin/) and execute this command

python odoo.py --log-level=debug

tape ctrl+z or ctrl+c to desactivate a log .

You will find a file (openerp-server.log) in /var/log/odoo/

Answer 2

In the run/debug window did you set the value of the current working directory field to /home/juliocesar/work/projects/my_project ? This would help PyCharm to look for the relative paths as well as the imports.

You can also try giving full path to your addons in the argument list.
