Why are my tests not running on Odoo 10?

Question

I created a simple to-do application with the following structure:

todo_app
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── __manifest__.py
    ├── tests
    │   ├── __init__.py
    │   └── tests_todo.py
    └── todo_model.py

Under the tests folder I have:

• tests/__init__.py:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from . import tests_todo

• tests/tests_todo.py:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from odoo.tests.common import TransactionCase


class TestTodo(TransactionCase):

    def test_create(self):
        """
        Create a simple Todo
        """
        Todo = self.env['todo.task']
        task = Todo.create({'name': 'Test Task'})
        self.assertEqual(task.is_done, 'foo')

I am deliberately trying to make the tests fail by comparing the boolean task.is_done with the string 'foo' but I don't see anything on the logs:

What am I missing?

Answer 1

Try renaming the test module tests/tests_todo.py to tests/test_todo.py. Also, don't forget to update the import in tests/__init__.py to from . import test_todo

This is because Odoo expects the test module names to start with test_ when it searches for tests belonging to a module [reference].
