Filtering test using odoo test tagged - how to avoid running at_install test ?

[petrus-v]

I'd like to skip test class decorated with the "at_install" odoo test tags while running my test using pytest.

Is there already some way to do so without adding extra line in code source ?

It works properly using Skip decorator @pytest.mark.skip(reason="Do not run at install test using pytest"), I was wondering if there are some plan to provide those tags as pytest marker to be able to filter those tests ?

Hello @petrus-v ,

Could you elaborate? Pytest doesn't run the tests at_install.

You can refer to @guewen comment in https://github.com/camptocamp/pytest-odoo/issues/26#issuecomment-432535204

The at_install doesn't make much sense with pytest-odoo. You prepare first your database, then execute tests.

Usually what you want is to execute only a selection of tests, like your custom modules. As Odoo source code and OCA are already covered by their respective tests. It could be redundant to run them again locally. You might want a selection of Odoo core tests to validate you don't break anything but you might prefer to copy those tests and extend them as your workflow might have some customization to tests or that breaks odoo core tests.

I'm using pytest as development tool.

I've 2 case where I get tests with the at_install

• My project is split in different module where I've few corner case where it make sense to use at_install flag as some parts are overwriting (I'm using odoo --test-enable to launch them)
• Or while fixing/investigate issue to odoo/communautary modules

As a developer I want to execute test using pytest, I was wondering if at_install are discoverd as pytest marker to not launch those at_install tests easly ?
