Connection API¶
You can use testinfra outside of pytest. You can dynamically get a host instance and call functions or access members of the respective modules:
>>> import testinfra
>>> host = testinfra.get_host("paramiko://root@server:2222", sudo=True)
>>> host.file("/etc/shadow").mode == 0o640
True
For instance you could make a test to compare two files on two different servers:
import testinfra
def test_same_passwd():
a = testinfra.get_host("ssh://a")
b = testinfra.get_host("ssh://b")
assert a.file("/etc/passwd").content == b.file("/etc/passwd").content
