testing

The fabric.testing subpackage contains a handful of test helper modules:

• fabric.testing.base which only depends on things like mock and is appropriate in just about any test paradigm;

• fabric.testing.fixtures, containing pytest fixtures and thus only of interest for users of pytest.

All are documented below. Please note the module-level documentation which contains install instructions!

testing.base

This module contains helpers/fixtures to assist in testing Fabric-driven code.

It is not intended for production use, and pulls in some test-oriented dependencies such as mock. You can install an ‘extra’ variant of Fabric to get these dependencies if you aren’t already using them for your own testing purposes: pip install fabric[testing].

备注

If you’re using pytest for your test suite, you may be interested in grabbing fabric[pytest] instead, which encompasses the dependencies of both this module and the fabric.testing.fixtures module, which contains pytest fixtures.

testing.fixtures

pytest fixtures for easy use of Fabric test helpers.

To get Fabric plus this module’s dependencies (as well as those of the main fabric.testing.base module which these fixtures wrap), pip install fabric[pytest].

The simplest way to get these fixtures loaded into your test suite so Pytest notices them is to import them into a conftest.py (docs). For example, if you intend to use the remote and client fixtures:

from fabric.testing.fixtures import client, remote
