pytest-shutil 1.2.4

A goodie-bag of unix shell and environment tools for py.test

# pytest-shutil


This library is a goodie-bag of Unix shell and environment management tools for automated tests.
A summary of the available functions is below, look at the source for the full listing.

## Installation

Install using your favourite package manager::

```bash
pip install pytest-shutil
# or..
easy_install pytest-shutil
```

## Workspace Fixture

The workspace fixture is simply a temporary directory at function-scope with a few bells and whistles::

```python
# Enable the fixture explicitly in your tests or conftest.py (not required when using setuptools entry points)
pytest_plugins = ['pytest_shutil']

def test_something(workspace):
# Workspaces contain a handle to the path.py path object (see https://pythonhosted.org/path.py)
path = workspace.workspace
script = path / 'hello.sh'
script.write_text('#!/bin/sh\n echo hello world!')

# There is a 'run' method to execute things relative to the workspace root
workspace.run('hello.sh')
```
