test.thing 0.3.1

A simple modern VM runner

test.thing

WIP.

Goals.

• one-file copypastelib
• easy to hook up to pytest
• future-oriented, built on systemd features in the guest (credentials, ssh-over-vsock, etc)
  • might limit usefulness for testing older OSes but we can add workarounds as required
• works without networking configured in guest
• supporting the existing features of cockpit-bots

Try it

You can pip install test.thing which will put an executable called tt in your path. This is sort of like the existing cockpit-bots vm-run.

You can also take a look at test/test_example.py and run TEST_IMAGE=/path/to/image.qcow2 pytest. This was originally tested with the examples images from composefs-rs.
