Test Fabric scripts on VirtualBox VMs
Project description
Fabtest is a set of utilities and base TestCases that aid testing Fabric scripts against VirtualBox VMs. License is MIT.
VM is rolled back to initial state before each test so tests can do anything with target system; Fabric commands can be run from Python.
Installation
pip install fabtest
VMs
In order to run tests you’ll need VirtualBox 4.x and an OS image. Image should have ssh server installed.
Example VMs:
After you get the image, make sure it is not running and execute the fabtest-preparevm script (pass your VM name or uid to it):
fabtest-preparevm Lenny
This command configures port forwarding (127.0.0.1:2222 to guest 22 port, 127.0.0.1:8888 to guest 80 port) and takes ‘fabtest-initial’ snapshot used for test rollbacks (it is taken from booted machine in order to speedup tests).
Writing tests
Subclass fabtest.VirtualBoxTest or fabtest.FabTest and use fabtest.fab for fabric commands execution:
from fabric.api import run
from fabtest import FabTest, fab
class MyTestCase(FabTest):
def test_root_login(self):
def fabric_command():
output = run('whoami')
self.assertEqual(output, 'root')
fab(fabric_command)
Look at source code (and example/runtests.py) for more.
