plugins – Testsuite plugins¶
Plugins to support the pyudev testsuite.
The following plugins are provided and enabled:
privileged – Privileged operations¶
Command line options¶
The plugin adds the following command line options to py.test:
-
--enable-privileged¶ Enable privileged tests. You’ll need to have sudo configured correctly in order to run tests with this option.
Configuration¶
In order to execute these tests without failure, you need to configure sudo to allow the user that executes the test to run the following commands:
modprobe dummymodprobe -r dummy
To do so, create a file /etc/sudoers.d/20pyudev-tests with the following
content:
me ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/modprobe dummy, /sbin/modprobe -r dummy
Replace me with your actual user name. NOPASSWD: tells sudo
not to ask for a password when executing these commands. This is simply for
the sake of convenience and to allow unattended test execution. Remove this
word if you want to be asked for a password.
Make sure to change the owner and group to root:root and the permissions of
this file to 440 afterwards, other sudo will refuse to load the
file. Also check the file with visudo to prevent syntactic errors:
$ chown root:root /etc/sudoers.d/20pyudev-tests
$ chmod 440 /etc/sudoers.d/20pyudev-tests
$ visudo -c -f /etc/sudoers.d/20pyudev-tests
pytest namespace¶
