from unittest import mock import pytest from cloudinit import util @pytest.yield_fixture(autouse=True) def disable_subp_usage(request): """ Across all (pytest) tests, ensure that util.subp is not invoked. Note that this can only catch invocations where the util module is imported and ``util.subp(...)`` is called. ``from cloudinit.util import subp`` imports happen before the patching here (or the CiTestCase monkey-patching) happens, so are left untouched. To allow a particular test method or class to use util.subp you can set the parameter passed to this fixture to False using pytest.mark.parametrize:: @pytest.mark.parametrize("disable_subp_usage", [False], indirect=True) def test_whoami(self): util.subp(["whoami"]) To instead allow util.subp usage for a specific command, you can set the parameter passed to this fixture to that command: @pytest.mark.parametrize("disable_subp_usage", ["bash"], indirect=True) def test_bash(self): util.subp(["bash"]) To specify multiple commands, set the parameter to a list (note the double-layered list: we specify a single parameter that is itself a list): @pytest.mark.parametrize( "disable_subp_usage", ["bash", "whoami"], indirect=True) def test_several_things(self): util.subp(["bash"]) util.subp(["whoami"]) This fixture (roughly) mirrors the functionality of CiTestCase.allowed_subp. N.B. While autouse fixtures do affect non-pytest tests, CiTestCase's allowed_subp does take precedence (and we have TestDisableSubpUsageInTestSubclass to confirm that).
