Agamotto

Agamotto is a helper module to make it easier to test a running system with Python.

Why not use serverspec? I work in a Python shop and want our devs to be able to easily write their own tests. Making the test suite use the same language they use daily removes a potential friction point.

Installation

python setup.py install

TODO: Make this pip installable

Usage

import agamotto as a
import unittest2 as unittest


class TestMysql(unittest.TestCase):

  def test_mysql_user(self):
    self.assertTrue(a.user.exists('mysql'))


  def test_mysql_server_installed(self):
    self.assertTrue(a.package.is_installed('mysql-server'))


  def test_mysql_client_installed(self):
    self.assertTrue(a.package.is_installed('mysql'))


  def test_mysql_config_exists(self):
    self.assertTrue(a.file.exists('/etc/my.cnf'))


  def test_mysql_bound_to_localhost(self):
    self.assertTrue(a.file.contains('/etc/my.cnf',
                    'bind-address            = 127.0.0.1'))


  def test_mysql_running(self):
    self.assertTrue(a.process.is_running('/bin/sh /usr/bin/mysqld_safe'))


  def test_mysql_initscript(self):
    self.assertTrue(a.file.exists('/etc/init.d/mysqld'))


if __name__ == '__main__':
  unittest.main()

Then run py.test.

Caveats

We're a CentOS shop. This hasn't even been tested on stock RHEL, let alone Debian or Ubuntu. Pull requests adding that functionality are welcome, of course.
