The Command Line Program Test Helper

Hi there 👋

I'm a backend developer at Les-Tilleuls.coop and an amateur astronomer.

On my free time, I create and maintain:

• Kosmorro, an astronomy software that helps you to prepare your observation nights
• f2ap, a server application to connect your website to the Fediverse thanks to your RSS/Atom feed.
• Twason, a Twitch chatbot that you configure with a JSON file
• checksitemap, a simple program to validate a website sitemap
• Aurornis, a Python library to help testing command line software

I also contribute to the following projects on a more or less regular basis:

• Symfony
• API Platform
• python-skyfield

You can also find me on:

• my website (also on the gemini network)
• Mastodon
• Twitter
• Twitch

aurornis's Issues

Add support for standard input

Provide a new argument to the run() command:

def run(
    command: [str],
    environment: {str: str} = None,
    remove_colors: bool = False,
+   stdin: [str] = []
) -> CommandResult

When the stdin argument is set, each value is consecutively sent to the standard input each time the command waits for an user input.

When the command finishes, there are three possible scenarii:

• the command has consumed all the values
• the command has consumed less values than provided
• the command has tried to consume more values than provided

In all these cases, the command should return a CommandResult object. This object will contain a new value, consumed_stdin_values of type int, which contains the number of values of the standard input that have actually by consumed.
The object may also provide a new method, is_stdin_fully_consumed(): bool, that returns True if and only if consumed_stdin_values is exacly equal to the number of values provided in the stdin argument of the run() function.
