The goal of Maintainer Quality Tools (MQT) is to provide helpers to ensure the quality of Odoo addons.
In order to setup TravisCI continuous integration for your project, just copy the
content of the /sample_files
to your project’s root directory.
If your project depends on other OCA or other Github repositories, create a file called oca_dependencies.txt
at the root of your project and list the dependencies there. One per line like so:
project_name optional_repository_url optional_branch_name
During testbed setup, MQT will automatically download and place these repositories accordingly into the addon path. Note on addons path ordering: They will be placed after your own repo, but before the odoo core repo.
You can test your .travis file in this linter. This is very useful when you are improving your file.
MQT is also capable to test each module individually.
The intention is to check if all dependencies are correctly defined.
Activate it through the UNIT_TEST
directive.
An additional line should be added to the env:
section,
similar to this one:
- VERSION="8.0" UNIT_TEST="1"
Coveralls provides information on the test coverage of your modules.
Currently the Coveralls configuration is automatic, so you don't need to include a .coveragerc
to the repository. Please note that if you do it, it will be ignored.
MQT has a nice feature of organizing your testing databases.
You might want to do that if you want to double them up as
staging DBs or if you want to work with an advanced set of
templates in order to speed up your CI pipeline.
Just specify at will:
MQT_TEMPLATE_DB='mqt_odoo_template' MQT_TEST_DB='mqt_odoo_test'
.
Give us feedback on you experiences, and if you could share findings
from your use case, there might be some grateful people arround.
If you want to make a build exclusive for these checks, you can add a line
on the env:
section of the .travis.yml file with this content:
- VERSION="7.0" LINT_CHECK="1"
You will get a faster answer about these questions and also a fast view over semaphore icons in Travis build view.
To avoid making again these checks on other builds, you have to add LINT_CHECK="0" variable on the line:
- VERSION="7.0" ODOO_REPO="odoo/odoo" LINT_CHECK="0"
If you want to make a build without tests, you can use the following directive:
TEST_ENABLE="0"
You will simply get the databases with packages installed, but whithout running any tests.
