iewt 1.3.1

Interactive embedded web terminal

IEWT(Interactive Embedded Web Terminal)

This is a minor release that expands the scope of tests by including unit tests. Previously, only integration tests and load test were included.

Also, there are few minor bug fixes.

Finally, the url to access the iewt in the browser has changed from localhost:8888 to localhost:8888/iewt.

Installation:

• Python 3.8+

• Run pip install iewt to install iewt package. IEWT requires file creation permissions, hence run in a location with sufficient permissions.

• To run the application you need to have

  1. A remote machine with a Unix(Linux, MacOS etc.) OS.

  2. Tmux installed on the computer/VM.(Optional)

  3. SSH server running on the computer/VM.

  4. Network access to the SSH server.

• Once all the above steps are performed, run the command iewt. Open a browser and goto localhost:8888/iewt

• Enter the SSH credentials in the form at the bottom of the screen. The terminal will appear soon after. To automatically execute commands, type the commands in the input field and click on the send command button. The command is executed in the terminal and after its completion its time will appear in the readonly input field below the command status button. The command status turns green on success and red on failure.

Integration Tests and Load Test:

• pip install -r requirements.txt

• run each test individually.

• change remote server credentials as per your requirements.

• provide correct input paths where required.
