Mock for paramiko library

ParamikoMock

ParamikoMock is a Python library for mocking the paramiko SSH client for testing purposes. It allows you to define responses for specific SSH commands and hosts, making it easier to test code that interacts with remote servers via SSH.

Installation

pip install paramiko-mock

Usage

Here are some examples of how to use ParamikoMock:

Example 1

This example shows how to mock an SSH connection to a host named some_host on port 22. The ls -l command is mocked to return the string 'ls output'.

from ParamikoMock import SSHMockEnvron, SSHCommandMock
from unittest.mock import patch
import paramiko

def example_function_1():
    client = paramiko.SSHClient()
    client.load_system_host_keys()
    client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
    client.connect('some_host', port=22, username='root', password='root', banner_timeout=10)
    stdin, stdout, stderr = client.exec_command('ls -l')
    return stdout.read()

def test_example_function_1():
    SSHMockEnvron().add_responses_for_host('some_host', 22, {
        'ls -l': SSHCommandMock('', 'ls output', '')
    }, 'root', 'root')
    with patch('paramiko.SSHClient', new=SSHClientMock): 
        output = example_function_1()
        assert output == 'ls output'

Example 2

This example shows how to mock an SSH connection to a host named some_host_2 on port 4826. The sudo docker ps command is mocked to return the string 'docker-ps-output'.

from ParamikoMock import SSHMockEnvron, SSHCommandMock
from unittest.mock import patch
import paramiko

def example_function_2():
    client = paramiko.SSHClient()
    client.load_system_host_keys()
    client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
    client.connect('some_host_2', port=4826, username='root', password='root', banner_timeout=10)
    stdin, stdout, stderr = client.exec_command('sudo docker ps')
    return stdout.read()

def test_example_function_2():
    SSHMockEnvron().add_responses_for_host('some_host_2', 4826, {
        'sudo docker ps': SSHCommandMock('', 'docker-ps-output', '')
    }, 'root', 'root')
    with patch('paramiko.SSHClient', new=SSHClientMock): 
        output = example_function_2()
        assert output == 'docker-ps-output'

Example 3

This example shows how to mock an SSH connection to a host named some_host_3 on port 22. The custom_command --param1 value1 command is mocked to return the string 'value1'.

from ParamikoMock import SSHMockEnvron, SSHCommandFunctionMock
from unittest.mock import patch
import paramiko

def example_function_3():
    client = paramiko.SSHClient()
    client.load_system_host_keys()
    client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
    client.connect('some_host_3', port=22, username='root', password='root', banner_timeout=10)
    stdin, stdout, stderr = client.exec_command('custom_command --param1 value1')
    return stdout.read()

def test_example_function_3():
    def custom_command_processor(ssh_client_mock: SSHClientMock, command: str):
        if 'param1' in command and 'value1' in command:
            return StringIO(''), StringIO('value1'), StringIO('')
    
    SSHMockEnvron().add_responses_for_host('some_host_3', 22, {
        r're(custom_command .*)': SSHCommandFunctionMock(custom_command_processor)
    }, 'root', 'root')
    with patch('paramiko.SSHClient', new=SSHClientMock): 
        output = example_function_3()
        assert output == 'value1'

Example 4

This example shows how to mock an SFTP connection to a host named some_host_4 on port 22. The ls -l command is mocked to return the string 'ls output'. The content of a remote file is mocked to return the string 'Something from the remote file'.

def test_example_function_sftp_read():
    ssh_mock = SSHClientMock()

    SSHMockEnvron().add_responses_for_host('some_host_4', 22, {
        'ls -l': SSHCommandMock('', 'ls output', '')
    }, 'root', 'root')
    ssh_mock.sftp_client_mock.sftp_file_mock.file_content = 'Something from the remote file'
    # patch the paramiko.SSHClient with the mock
    with patch('paramiko.SSHClient', new=SSHClientMock): 
        output = example_function_sftp_read()
        assert 'Something from the remote file' == output
