product_product.forecast_group_id = forecast_group # enter the computing method 1st time
self.assertEqual(

In the above code i am trying to edit the computed filed mannally in a test method
And this is the method using for computing
@api.depends('auto_update',
'forecast_group_id',
'forecast_group_id.period_type',
'forecast_group_id.periods_to_forecast',
'forecast_group_id.first_date')
def _compute_forecasting(self):
# custom prefetch
cache = {
record['id']: {'first_date_of_period': record['first_date_of_period'],'period_type': record['period_type'], 'no_periods': record['no_periods']}
for record in self.read(['first_date_of_period', 'period_type', 'no_periods'])
}# removing this line will make the product variable below return to empty value
for product in self:
if product.auto_update:
product.first_date_of_period = product.forecast_group_id.first_date
product.period_type = product.forecast_group_id.period_type
product.no_periods = product.forecast_group_id.periods_to_forecast
My computed fields:
period_type = fields.Selection(PeriodType.LIST_PERIODS, compute='_compute_forecasting', store=True)
no_periods = fields.Integer(string="Number of Periods", compute='_compute_forecasting', store=True)
first_date_of_period = fields.Datetime(compute='_compute_forecasting', store=True)
From what I know i should not be allowed to change the computed field manually without using inverse method, but when i tested this Odoo did not throw any error. Can anyone explain for me ?
And there is another question, if i remove the "cache" variable, the second time the computing function triggered the new value of product that is changed in the first time the function is triggered is not return. Why does this happen ?
