termtest

GitHub Actions status

An automatable terminal session with send/expect controls.

This package leverages the go-expect package to test terminal applications on Linux, MacOS and Windows, which has been forked from Netflix/go-expect

It has been developed for CI testing of the ActiveState state tool

Example usage


import (
    "testing"

    "github.com/ActiveState/termtest"
    "github.com/stretchr/testify/suite"
)

func TestBash(t *testing.T) {
    opts := termtest.Options{
        CmdName: "/bin/bash",
    }
    cp, err := termtest.NewTest(t, opts)
    require.NoError(t, err, "create console process")
    defer cp.Close()

    cp.SendLine("echo hello world")
    cp.Expect("hello world")
    cp.SendLine("exit")
    cp.ExpectExitCode(0)
}

Multi-line matching

After each bytes termtest receives from the pseudo-terminal output, it updates the state of the virtual terminal like a terminal user would see it (including a scroll back buffer if necessary). The Expect() look for matches in this processed output. Of course, the terminal wraps its output after text gets longer than 80 columns (or whatever width you have configured for your terminal). As this makes it more difficult to match long string, the default Expect() removes all these automatic wraps.

Consider the following examples, that all assume a terminal width of 10 columns.

Programme sends a line with more than 10 characters
  • Programme sends string "0123456789012345".
  • Terminal output is "0123456789\n012345 \n".
cp.Expect("0123456789012345")  // this matches
Programme sends several lines separated by \n
  • Programme sends string "line 1\nline 2\n".
  • Terminal output is "line 1 \nline 2 \n".
  • The following does NOT match: 
    cp.Expect("line 1\nline 2\n")  // this does NOT match
  • The following does MATCH: 
    cp.Expect("line 1")
cp.Expect("line 2")
  • The following does MATCH: 
    cp.Expect("line 1    line 2    ")
Custom matchers

Custom matchers that match against either the raw / or processed pseudo-terminal output can be specified in the go-expect package. See expect_opt.go for examples.

var ErrWaitTimeout = errWaitTimeout{fmt.Errorf("timeout waiting for exit code")}

ErrWaitTimeout is returned when we time out waiting for the console process to exit

Functions

func TestExpectObserveFn 

func TestExpectObserveFn(t *testing.T) expect.ExpectObserver

TestExpectObserveFn an example for a ExpectObserver function, it reports any error occurring durint expect calls to the supplied testing instance

func TestSendObserveFn 

func TestSendObserveFn(t *testing.T) func(string, int, error)

TestSendObserveFn is an example for a SendObserver function, it reports any error during Send calls to the supplied testing instance

Types

type ConsoleProcess 

type ConsoleProcess struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

ConsoleProcess bonds a command with a pseudo-terminal for automation

func New 

func New(opts Options) (*ConsoleProcess, error)

New bonds a command process with a console pty.

func NewTest added in v0.5.0 

func NewTest(t *testing.T, opts Options) (*ConsoleProcess, error)

NewTest bonds a command process with a console pty and sets it up for testing

func (*ConsoleProcess) Close 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) Close() error

Close cleans up all the resources allocated by the ConsoleProcess If the underlying process is still running, it is terminated with a SIGTERM signal.

func (*ConsoleProcess) Cmd added in v0.7.2 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) Cmd() *exec.Cmd

Cmd returns the underlying command

func (*ConsoleProcess) Executable 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) Executable() string

Executable returns the command name to be executed

func (*ConsoleProcess) Expect 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) Expect(value string, timeout ...time.Duration) (string, error)

Expect listens to the terminal output and returns once the expected value is found or a timeout occurs Default timeout is 10 seconds

func (*ConsoleProcess) ExpectCustom added in v0.7.2 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) ExpectCustom(opt expect.ExpectOpt, timeout ...time.Duration) (string, error)

ExpectCustom listens to the terminal output and returns once the supplied condition is satisfied or a timeout occurs Default timeout is 10 seconds

func (*ConsoleProcess) ExpectExitCode 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) ExpectExitCode(exitCode int, timeout ...time.Duration) (string, error)

ExpectExitCode waits for the program under test to terminate, and checks that the returned exit code meets expectations

func (*ConsoleProcess) ExpectLongString added in v0.5.5 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) ExpectLongString(value string, timeout ...time.Duration) (string, error)

ExpectLongString listens to the terminal output and returns once the expected value is found or a timeout occurs This function ignores mismatches caused by newline and space characters to account for wrappings at the maximum terminal width. Default timeout is 10 seconds

func (*ConsoleProcess) ExpectNotExitCode 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) ExpectNotExitCode(exitCode int, timeout ...time.Duration) (string, error)

ExpectNotExitCode waits for the program under test to terminate, and checks that the returned exit code is not the value provide

func (*ConsoleProcess) ExpectRe 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) ExpectRe(value string, timeout ...time.Duration) (string, error)

ExpectRe listens to the terminal output and returns once the expected regular expression is matched or a timeout occurs Default timeout is 10 seconds

func (*ConsoleProcess) MatchState added in v0.5.0 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) MatchState() *expect.MatchState

MatchState returns the current state of the expect-matcher

func (*ConsoleProcess) Send 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) Send(value string)

Send sends a new line to the terminal, as if a user typed it

func (*ConsoleProcess) SendCtrlC 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) SendCtrlC()

SendCtrlC tries to emulate what would happen in an interactive shell, when the user presses Ctrl-C Note: On Windows the Ctrl-C event is only reliable caught when the receiving process is listening for os.Interrupt signals.

func (*ConsoleProcess) SendLine 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) SendLine(value string)

SendLine sends a new line to the terminal, as if a user typed it, the newline sequence is OS aware

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) Stop() error

Stop sends an interrupt signal for the tested process and fails if no process has been started yet. Note: This is not supported on Windows

func (*ConsoleProcess) TrimmedSnapshot 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) TrimmedSnapshot() string

TrimmedSnapshot displays the terminal output a user would see however the goroutine that creates this output is separate from this function so any output is not synced

func (*ConsoleProcess) Wait 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) Wait(timeout ...time.Duration)

Wait waits for the program under test to terminate, not caring about the exit code at all

func (*ConsoleProcess) WaitForInput 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) WaitForInput(timeout ...time.Duration) (string, error)

WaitForInput returns once a shell prompt is active on the terminal Default timeout is 10 seconds

func (*ConsoleProcess) WorkDirectory 

func (cp *ConsoleProcess) WorkDirectory() string

	CmdName        string
	Args           []string
	HideCmdLine    bool
