mock-ssh-server - An SSH server for testing purposes
mock-ssh-server
packs a Python context manager that implements an SSH
server for testing purposes. It is built on top of paramiko, so it does
not need OpenSSH binaries to be installed.
Sample usage
As a py.test fixture:
import os from pytest import yield_fixture import mockssh @yield_fixture() def server(): users = { "sample-user": "/path/to/user-private-key", } with mockssh.Server(users) as s: yield s def test_ssh_session(server): for uid in server.users: with server.client(uid) as c: _, stdout, _ = c.exec_command("ls /") assert stdout.read() def test_sftp_session(server): for uid in server.users: target_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp() target_fname = os.path.join(target_dir, "foo") assert not os.access(target_fname, os.F_OK) with server.client(uid) as c: sftp = c.open_sftp() sftp.put(__file__, target_fname, confirm=True) assert os.access(target_fname, os.F_OK)
