Setting up Headless Chrome for client-side test cases
Odoo uses Headless Chrome to perform JavaScript test cases and tour test cases. Headless Chrome is a way to run Chrome without the full UI. This way, we can run JavaScript test cases in the same environment as the end user. In this recipe, we will install Headless Chrome and other packages in order to run JavaScript test cases.
How to do it...
You will need to install Chrome to enable a JavaScript test case. For the development of the modules, we mostly use the desktop OS. Consequently, if you have a Chrome browser installed on your system, then there is no need to install it separately. You can run client-side test cases with desktop Chrome. Make sure that you have a Chrome version higher than Chrome 59. Odoo also supports the Chromium browser.
Note
Headless Chrome client-side test cases work fine with macOS and Linux, but Odoo does not support Headless Chrome test cases on Windows.
