# pytest-shutil


This library is a goodie-bag of Unix shell and environment management tools for automated tests.
A summary of the available functions is below, look at the source for the full listing.
               
## Installation
                  
Install using your favourite package manager::

```bash
    pip install pytest-shutil
    #  or..
    easy_install pytest-shutil
```               

## Workspace Fixture

The workspace fixture is simply a temporary directory at function-scope with a few bells and whistles::

```python
    # Enable the fixture explicitly in your tests or conftest.py (not required when using setuptools entry points)
    pytest_plugins = ['pytest_shutil']
    
    def test_something(workspace):
        # Workspaces contain a handle to the path `path` object (see https://path.readthedocs.io/)
        path = workspace.workspace         
        script = path / 'hello.sh'
        script.write_text('#!/bin/sh\n echo hello world!')
        
        # There is a 'run' method to execute things relative to the workspace root
        workspace.run('hello.sh')
```
