test.thing 0.3.3

A simple modern VM runner

test.thing

WIP.

test.thing doesn't have a stable API or CLI.

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. If you want to test Cockpit images, you can do something like:

  tt \
      -v \
      -L 9091:127.0.0.1:9090 \
      -s cockpit.socket \
      ~/.cache/cockpit-images/arch-xxx.qcow2

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.
