What is Pytest Shell Utilities

“When in doubt, shell out”

—Thomas S. Hatch

This pytest plugin was extracted from pytest-salt-factories. If provides a basic fixture shell which basically uses subprocess.Popen to run commands against the running system on a shell while providing a nice assert’able return class.

Install

Installing pytest-shell-utilities is as simple as:

python -m pip install pytest-shell-utilities

And, that’s honestly it.

Usage

Once installed, you can now use the shell fixture to run some commands and assert against the outcome.

def test_assert_good_exitcode(shell):

    ret = shell.run("exit", "0")
    assert ret.returncode == 0

def test_assert_bad_exitcode(shell):

    ret = shell.run("exit", "1")
    assert ret.returncode == 1

If the command outputs parseable JSON, the shell fixture can attempt loading that output as JSON which allows for asserting against the JSON loaded object.

def test_against_json_output(shell):
   d = {"a", "a", "b": "b"}
   ret = shell.run("echo", json.dumps(d))
   assert ret.data == d
