HitchSMTP

Mock SMTP server that logs all incoming messages to stdout as JSON for easy parsing by HitchServe.

HitchSMTP contains a service definition for use with Hitch, but can also be used alone.

Use with Hitch

Install like so:

$ hitch install hitchsmtp
# Service definition in your test execution engine's setUp
self.services['HitchSMTP'] = hitchsmtp.HitchSMTPService(
    port=10025                                                 # Optional (default: 10025)
)

# Wait for email during test...
containing = "Registration email"

email = self.services['HitchSMTP'].logs.out.tail.until_json(
    lambda email: containing in email['payload'] or containing in email['Subject'],
    timeout=5,
    lines_back=1,
)

See this service in action at the DjangoRemindMe project.

Bad SMTP Server

You can send to specific email addresses to mock most SMTP errors.

E.g. Sending an email to 451-please-try-again-later@smtperrors.com will cause the “451 Please try again later” SMTP error.

For a full list of these errors and the email address @ smtperrors.com that will trigger them, see:

https://github.com/hitchtest/hitchsmtp/blob/master/hitchsmtp/smtperrors.py

Features

  • Logs all details about emails received by the SMTP server as easily parsed JSON.

  • Parses links in your emails automatically so that you can check just for links in emails and ‘click’ on them.

  • Can also mock SMTP errors.
