Odoo Test Failure Resolution Rules

This skill provides mandatory rules for handling test failures during AI-assisted testing.

🧪 AI TEST FAILURE RESOLUTION RULES

When running Odoo tests, analyze any failures and apply exactly one of the three rules below — nothing else:

1. RULE 1 — Custom test fails:

The custom module code is broken (e.g. upgrade logic did not preserve the expected workflow). → Fix the custom module CODE so the workflow is correct again. Never weaken or skip the test.

1. RULE 2 — Standard Odoo test fails because of our custom code:

Our changes altered a workflow or model that a standard test relied on. → Monkey-patch the standard test from within the custom module so it aligns with the new workflow. Never modify standard Odoo files. Never make the test trivially pass by removing assertions.

1. RULE 3 — Standard Odoo test fails for an unrelated reason:

→ Do nothing. Skip it and move on.

After applying a fix, re-run the tests and repeat until all Rule-1 and Rule-2 failures are resolved. Finish with a summary of every change made and which rule justified it.
