tox plugin to run arbitrary commands in a virtualenv
Project description
A tox plugin to run an arbitrary command in a tox managed virtualenv.
- Example:
tox -e py27 --run-command "server --port 8080"
In the example tox will will run server --port 8080 inside of the py27 virualenv.
Notes:
Any env defined in your tox.ini will work
The env will be created if it doesn’t exist (just like tox normally does)
The commands from your tox.ini will not be run and instead the command you wanted to run is run
tox substitutions will also work. (e.g. tox -e py27 --run-command "server --config={homedir}/server.conf")
Why?
Almost all of the projects I work on use tox for test automation. Many of those projects, one such example is Keystone, carry custom Python and/or shell scripts to create virtualenvs to run server processes for manual testing. Other projects advise the developer to create a tox virtualenv by running tox -e py27 --notest and then running the server from within that virtualenv like .tox/py27/bin/server --port 8080.
Both of those options suck. Since I couldn’t find a tool that already existed to do this, I created one using the new tox plugin API.
