Whats New

Processor Parameters and Result APIs

Docs
Processors now have parameters which can be
passed by adding a correctly named argument to the processor.
Processors support steps by adding a steps
argument. Processors have their own result APIs, which can be accessed
from the processor argument.
from pyats import aetest

def my_processor(section, processor, testbed, steps, param_a):
    if not param_a:
        processor.failed('param_a is False')

class MyTestcase(aetest.Testcase):
    @aetest.processors.post(my_processor)
    @aetest.test
    def test_method(self):
        self.parameters['param_a'] = False

Other Changes

Kleenex

  • Added -archive_dir argument in kleenex to generate zip archive file for clean results

  • Added the extended clean yaml to the log archive

  • Added the cli command ‘pyats clean’ which replaces kleenex cli command

Commands

  • Changed default behavior of pyats secret encode command. - New default is to input password by prompt - plaintext password can be still given via --string option

Aetest

  • Section uid chaining to accurately represent where each test occurs in the hierarchy with uid.list

Reporter/Easypy

  • Generate results file in JSON format instead of YAML format

  • Plugin summary in results file in addition to regular tests summary
