Mocking HTTP Requests

The first tool this module provides is a way to mock Odoo HTTP requests.

In your module, you may use the mock_odoo_request to simulate the request:

from odoo.addons.test_http_request.common import mock_odoo_request
from odoo.tests.common import TransactionCase
from ..controllers.main import MyController


class TestSomething(TransactionCase):

    def test_some_method(self):
        with mock_odoo_request(self.env):
            result = MyController().do_something()

        assert result == ...

The mock_odoo_request function is a context manager. Behind the scene, when calling it, the following technical work is done:

• An HTTP session is created.
• An environ is created.
• An httprequest object is added to the werkzeug stack.
• The httprequest object is bound to the given Odoo Environment object.
