[pytest-dev] pytest script sample

[Brack, Laurent P.]

Hi Abdelillah,

I thought somebody would have something smarter to say than what I am about to say, but here it is.

If the remote system you are trying to test has python installed, then I suggest that you use pytest-xdist
and distribute the tests on that machine.

However if your tests require access to resources local to the machine where pytest runs, I suggest you use
paramiko. We use it extensively for embedded device testing.

Basically, you want to do something like create an SSHClient (and even perhaps an SFTP one) in a pytest fixture (scope set to session)

http://pytest.org/latest/fixture.html

For paramiko, here is an old but still valid article on Paramiko
http://jessenoller.com/blog/2009/02/05/ssh-programming-with-paramiko-completely-different

I am sure that after reading both, you can figure out what you need to do with very little effort.

Good luck

/Laurent

Hello All,
I'm a newbie to pytest, would like to get minimum setup of files
in pytest:

+ lib
+config file for testbed
+test script

to do the following tasks :
1. ssh to a linux machine
2. run some linux commands

Can someone point out an example where i can take a look at this..

Thanks in Advance,
Abdelillah
