Some tests (e.g. mail) have expensive and significant DB setup for a
number of small and cheap tests. Using a TransactionCase, the DB setup
far dominates the tests themselves, by up to 10x (mail unit tests take
~130s on my machine, the tests themselves take ~15s).
The SavepointCase introduced here is an hybrid of SingleTransactionCase
and TransactionCase: it uses a single transaction for all tests in a
class, but each test case is isolated by a rollbacked savepoint. This
allows a common DB setup (via setUpClass) while keeping independent
tests.
TransactionCase should remain the primary test case superclass, but
SavepointCase can be a fair optimisation when setup costs far dominate.
Tests have been migrated to the new api to prepare the migration of the
mail module itself. Moreover tests have been cleaned: redundant tests
and unnecessary tests have been removed.
As the base test class in mail is used in other addons, other addons
have been updated :
- portal
- project
- portal_project
- website_project_issue
- sale
- purchase
Future commits will come with somes fixes for issues detected when cleaning
the tests.
Replaced some read by browse
Moved get_reply_to from mail_mail to mail_message
Hint: specifying email_from, reply_to help to enhance computation time
[REF] mail: cleaned some tests, renamed a file, moved mail_group tests into a dedicated file
