expect(pattern, **kwargs) Match

Expect the pattern from the internal buffer. All the arguments will be passed to pexpect.expect().

Parameters:

pattern – string, or compiled regex, or a list of string and compiled regex.

Keyword Arguments:
  • timeout (float) – would raise pexpect.TIMEOUT exception when pattern is not matched after timeout

  • expect_all (bool) – need to match all specified patterns if this flag is True. Otherwise match any of them could pass

  • not_matching – string, or compiled regex, or a list of string and compiled regex.

Returns:

AnyStr or re.Match

  • AnyStr: if you’re matching pexpect.EOF or pexpect.TIMEOUT to get all the current buffers.

  • re.Match: if matched given string.

expect_exact(pattern, **kwargs) Match

Expect the pattern from the internal buffer. All the arguments will be passed to pexpect.expect_exact().

Parameters:

pattern – string, or a list of string

Keyword Arguments:
  • timeout (float) – would raise pexpect.TIMEOUT exception when pattern is not matched after timeout

  • expect_all (bool) – need to match all specified patterns if this flag is True. Otherwise match any of them could pass

  • not_matching – string, or compiled regex, or a list of string and compiled regex.

Returns:

class pytest_embedded.log.PexpectProcess(fd, args=None, timeout=30, maxread=2000, searchwindowsize=None, logfile=None, encoding=None, codec_errors='strict', use_poll=False)

Bases: fdspawn

Use a temp file to gather multiple inputs into one output, and do pexpect.expect() from one place.

property buffer_debug_str
read_nonblocking(size: int = 1, timeout: int = -1) bytes

Since we’re using real file stream, here we only raise an EOF error when the file stream has been closed. This could solve the os.read() blocked issue.

Parameters:
  • size – Read at most size bytes.

  • timeout – Wait timeout seconds for file descriptor to be ready to read. When -1 (default), use self.timeout. When 0, poll.

Returns:

String containing the bytes read

terminate(force=False)

Close the temporary file stream and itself.

pytest_embedded.log.live_print_call(*args, msg_queue: Optional[MessageQueue] = None, expect_returncode: int = 0, **kwargs)

  • expect_returncode – expect return code. (Default 0). Would raise exception when return code is different

Note

This function behaves the same as subprocess.call(), it would block your current process.
