I thought I had one somewhere, but it appears not actually ... I wanted to change the osmo-gsm-manuals README over to this, but it appears I haven't done it. I thought the py scripts / cmdline help had examples, but again appears I forgot to write that. Here are two quick examples: osmo_interact_vty.py -r 'osmo-hlr -c /n/s/cn_test/nitb/osmo-hlr.cfg -l /tmp/hlr.db' -p 4258 --gen-xml-ref and if the app is already running just osmo_interact_vty.py -p 4258 --gen-xml-ref > Also, is there equivalent counterpart for osmotestvty.py? There are osmo_verify_transcript_vty.py (and also osmo_verify_transcript_ctrl.py) which allow writing VTY/CTRL tests basically from a live session's screen dump. See for example osmo-hlr/tests/*.vty and *.ctrl. There are some more complex tests especially in OsmoBSC, which start/stop programs and do stuff that is not simply a VTY transcript, but it is possible to import osmo_interact_vty.py and use that API to write the same kind of complex tests. Personally, I think I will mostly do transcript tests from now on, because it is infinitely less effort than writing py code around it. Note that the verify_transcript_* also allow updating your current transcript file with any changed output the program may exhibit, after which you can git diff them, which makes updating the tests to new behavior quite convenient... (I am dreaming about offering a combined transcript type that offers issuing CTRL and VTY commands in the same transcript, but not sure if that will happen any time soon.) And, anything to say about this question?: "I am still asking myself why you want to make the py2 scripts py3 compatible in the first place, and would welcome if you could answer this question I've raised a couple times now." -- To view, visit https://gerrit.osmocom.org/5038 To unsubscribe, visit https://gerrit.osmocom.org/settings Gerrit-MessageType: comment Gerrit-Change-Id: I80e5850a8978d78cda793e2192ef4bd3fd54a121 Gerrit-PatchSet: 3 Gerrit-Project: python/osmo-python-tests Gerrit-Branch: master Gerrit-Owner: Max <msur...@sysmocom.de> Gerrit-Reviewer: Harald Welte <lafo...@gnumonks.org> Gerrit-Reviewer: Jenkins Builder Gerrit-Reviewer: Max <msur...@sysmocom.de> Gerrit-Reviewer: Neels Hofmeyr <nhofm...@sysmocom.de> Gerrit-Reviewer: Pau Espin Pedrol <pes...@sysmocom.de> Gerrit-HasComments: No
