[RFC] How to run JS tests

[legalsylvain]

Hi all. (but specially @ivantodorovich ;-))

I'm currently developping on master (15.5 branch) new PoS module.

I try to write javascript test tour. (based on some great exemple like : pos_event_sale :

• https://github.com/OCA/pos/blob/15.0/pos_event_sale/tests/test_frontend.py
• https://github.com/OCA/pos/blob/15.0/pos_event_sale/static/tests/tours/EventSale.tour.js

I tried to run test, but the tests are skipped : Failed to detect chrome devtools port after 10.0s
(raised here : https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/15.0/odoo/tests/common.py#L893)

Do you know what to install to make the test running locally ?
Context : Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS

Thanks !

Personally I just run tests within a docker container with chromium installed, and never encountered this issue.

On the other hand I see the oca-ci uses chrome

You could try to see if you have a recent enough version installed.
Maybe this isn't supported in older chrome versions?

Btw, unrelated to you question, if you're writing tools I recommend you to use screenshots otherwise it's a real pain

Weird. I had chromium installed, and it was not working. I just run OCA command present in your link of the OCA CI, and it is working. (well it is failing, but that's another story ;-))

Thanks for the info !
