Product Category creation on unit test does not set parent_left / parent_right

Question

I create some product categories in SetUp method for my unit tests:
self.product_category1 = self.env['product.category'].create({
'name': 'Product Category 1',
})
self.product_category1_1 = self.env['product.category'].create({
'name': 'Product Category 1.1',
'parent_id': self.product_category1.id,
) Then I try to access the parent_left / parent_right fields either directly on self.product_category1.parent_left, or with a self.env['product_category'].browse(self.product_category1.id).parent_lef

Hi Renzo,
during the install the compute of the parent_store (left/right) is deferred at the end. And the unit test is run before the compute, you must compute yourself
categ = self.env['product.category']
self.product_category1 = categ.create({
'name': 'Product Category 1'})
self.product_category1_1 = categ.create({
'name': 'Product Category 1.1',
'parent_id': self.product_category1.id})
categ._parent_store_compute()
