About
=====

With Testinfra you can write unit tests in Python to test *actual state* of
your servers configured by management tools like Salt_, Ansible_, Puppet_,
Chef_ and so on.

Testinfra aims to be a Serverspec_ equivalent in python and is written as
a plugin to the powerful Pytest_ test engine

Quick start
===========

Install testinfra using pip::

    $ pip install pytest-testinfra

    # or install the devel version
    $ pip install 'git+https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-testinfra@main#egg=pytest-testinfra'


Write your first tests file to `test_myinfra.py`:

.. code-block:: python

    def test_passwd_file(host):
        passwd = host.file("/etc/passwd")
        assert passwd.contains("root")
        assert passwd.user == "root"
        assert passwd.group == "root"
        assert passwd.mode == 0o644


    def test_nginx_is_installed(host):
        nginx = host.package("nginx")
        assert nginx.is_installed
        assert nginx.version.startswith("1.2")


    def test_nginx_running_and_enabled(host):
        nginx = host.service("nginx")
        assert nginx.is_running
        assert nginx.is_enabled


And run it::

    $ pytest -v test_myinfra.py
