Changelog

1.18.3 (2024-06-25)
Fix

Move argparse type from ‘int’ to int.
In latest version of pytest, the ‘int’ value as type is
no longer supported, causing issues when topology is
started.




1.18.2 (2023-06-15)
Fixes

‘topology’ executable was broken and could not be called. Fixed.



1.18.1 (2022-10-31)
Fixes

Using topology as module did not inject attributes appropriately. Now it uses
the topology file path as top search-path.



1.18.0 (2022-08-39)
Changes

Add support for subnode. Subnodes can be specified using the node>subnode
syntax and they can be nested as well. Ports can be specified for any node
and links can be specified between any pair of nodes regardless the nesting
level, for example: node>subnode1>subnode2:p1 -- node:p1.
Replace NMLExtendedManager by a new TopologyGraph class and other classes
for Node, Link and Port. TopologyGraph has the same API as the old
NMLExtendedManager, thus backwards compatibility is preserved.
Drop support for NML and graphviz plot output which implies these pytest
plugin flags and CLI arguments now do nothing. Notice they might be removed
in a future release:

–topology-nml-dir
–topology-plot-dir
–topology-plot-format





1.17.0 (2022-01-25)
Changes

pytest flag --topology-platform-options now uses the ExtendAction to
allowing extending and overriding options in CLI. [Francisco Mata]



1.16.0 (2021-05-11)
New

Add pytest option --topology-szn-dir. [Jose Martinez]
This new option will allow to pass the path of a directory where topologies
files *.szn will be defined.




1.15.0 (2021-03-03)
New

Add pytest option --topology-build-retries. [David Diaz]
Allow for unstable backends to try topology build more than once.




1.14.0 (2021-01-06)
Changes

Call topology rollback on keyboardInterrupt during build. [David Diaz]



1.13.0 (2020-08-05)
New

Ignore the same paths pytest ignores. [David Diaz]
When running topology via the pytest plugin, ignore the same paths pytest
does by using norecursedirs ini option.
Also move topology plugin configuration to sessionstart as logs on pytest are
live only after that point.




1.12.0 (2020-06-05)
Changes

Use realpath for pytest plugin search paths. [David Diaz]
Starting on pytest 3.9.2 pytest resolves symbolic links:
https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/pull/4108/
This causes an incompatibility with the attribute injection feature as the
paths pytest sees (realpaths) differ from the injected_attr (abspath) found
on the topology_plugin.




1.11.0 (2020-03-16)
Changes

Set a meaningful identifier for NML bilinks. [David Diaz]
Currently the bilinks ID is the Python instance ID, this commit set it to a
combination of the port IDs using the same syntax as pyszn:

node0:port0 -- node1:port1





1.10.0 (2020-01-28)
New

Platform arguments can now be passed from the CLI and/or the Pytest plugin.
Use --option key=value in the CLI and
--topology-platform-option key=value in Pytest. Options given using
this method will be passed as keyword arguments to the platform. Values will
be “autoparsed” to a Python type using the following order: floats, integers,
booleans (yes, no, true, false, case insensitive) and finally any other is
considered a strings. [Carlos Jenkins & David Diaz]



1.9.15 (2019-11-18)

Changes

Removed long ago deprecated module topology.platforms.base [Carlos Jenkins]

Change imports:

topology.platforms.base.BasePlatform => topology.platforms.platform.BasePlatform
topology.platforms.base.BaseNode => topology.platforms.node.BaseNode
topology.platforms.base.CommonNode => topology.platforms.node.CommonNode



Update BaseShell __call__ and execute to pass args and kwargs to the wrapped
call to send_command() (#76) [Sergio Morales]
Changes to support newer versions of pytest. (#79) [Diego Dompe]
Drop support for Python 3.4. Minimal version is now 3.5. [Carlos Jenkins]



Fix

Topology shells will now use pexpect poll() to support more than 1024 file
descriptors. This change requires pexpect >= 4.6. [Carlos Jenkins]




1.9.14 (2018-11-21)
Changes

Make new testlog func private. [Matthew Hall]



1.9.13 (2018-11-16)

New

Environment attributes are now passed to the NMLManager. [Javier
Peralta]
Add functions for new test specific log. [Matthew Hall]



Changes

Remove unit test of functionalty no longer on topology. [Javier
Peralta]
Moving injection to pyszn. [Diego Hurtado]
Customize term codes regex. [David Diaz]
Add the ability to customize the terminal regex code for special shells




Fix

Pyszn uses correct depedency declaration. [Javier Peralta]
Minor fixes. [David Diaz]




1.9.12 (2018-06-05)

New

Add a dynamic timeout option. [Matthew Hall]
When this option is used expect will be repeated as long as output is
still being returned.




Changes

Add FORCED_PROMPT to the initial prompt. [Joseph Loaiza]
The original initial prompt does not match the FORCED_PROMPT, this makes the
shell to throw a timeout exception when trying to reconnect to a previously
used shell.




Fix

Adding missing release information. [Diego Hurtado]
Updating to new PEP8 requirements. [Diego Hurtado]




1.9.11 (2017-11-20)
Changes

Modify pexpect logger to match actual data stream. [Javier Peralta]
This change adds a new filehandler that doesn’t introduce line changes
arbitrarily. Also Add some line changes on known places to keep output
log file readable. With this changes the log file should match
pexpect’s command output stream closer.




1.9.10 (2017-09-06)

Changes

Extending connection and disconnection arguments. [Diego Hurtado]



Fix

Refactoring _get_connection. [Diego Hurtado]
Removing support for Python 2.7. [Diego Hurtado]
Several fixes in the usage of the connection argument. [Diego Hurtado]
This intentionally breaks compatibility with Python 2.7 since it uses
syntax introduced in PEP 3102.

Increase echo sleep 1 second. [Javier Peralta]




1.9.9 (2017-07-26)

New

Adding support for sending control characters. [Diego Hurtado]



Fix

Changes

Log python error when plugin load fails. [Javier Peralta]



1.9.7 (2017-05-16)
Fix

Adding a delay after setting echo off. [Javier Peralta]
Command to set prompt was sometimes too fast and were sent before bash turned
off echo (stty -echo) resulting in unwanted information being displayed. This
commit makes sure bash always have time to turn echo off.




1.9.6 (2017-05-03)

New

Adding reason to platform_incompatible marker.
Adding timestamps to logs.



Changes

Adding workaround for bug in mock.
Using python3 as base Python.

Fix

Making StepLogger backwards compatible.



1.9.2 (2016-12-01)
Fix

Handling calls to decode safely.




1.8.1 (2016-09-22)
Fix

Removed internal imports of deprecated modules.



1.8.0 (2016-08-26)

New

A new ServicesAPI for the nodes is now available. This new API allows to
register and later on fetch information about the services a node provides.
Greatly improved documentation for the Shell Low Level API introduced in
1.4.0. Check “The low-level shell API” in User Guide.
The Low Level Shell API will now be able to log user commands. This new
feature is backward compatible.



Changes

Module topology.platforms.base is now deprecated. Please change your
imports to:
topology.platforms.base.BasePlatform => topology.platforms.platform.BasePlatform
topology.platforms.base.BaseNode => topology.platforms.node.BaseNode
topology.platforms.base.CommonNode => topology.platforms.node.CommonNode





1.7.2 (2016-06-09)

Changes

Adding user as an option for PExpectShell to support shells that use
this kind of authentication.



Fix

Raising the proper exception when a shell connection fails for the user to
handle it properly.




1.7.1 (2016-05-26)
Changes

Removing the version requirement of Pexpect since this may cause version
collisions with other Python packages commonly used with the framework.



1.7.0 (2016-05-26)

New

The reference documentation for the vtysh, ping and ip communication
libraries has been added to the documentation.
PExpect shells now support multiple connections. This means that the same
shell object can now use several pexpect spawn objects.



Changes

The documentation for communication libraries has been improved a lot with
specific examples for common use cases added.
The pexpect spawn arguments are now reachable from the initialization
of a shell object.
The attribute injection feature is now capable of following symbolic links
while walking through directory paths.
The version of all dependencies has been fixed. This is to avoid unexpected
code breaks when a bug is introduced in one of them.



Fix

The base node class BaseNode now includes a ports attribute. This has
been used by all platform engine nodes so far, but was missing in their base
class.
A missing history file does not raise an error whene executing topology,
but is just logged as an error.
A few CSS and other theme issues have been fixed.




1.6.0 (2016-03-21)

Changes

When expanding the search path for attribute injection all hidden folders
(starting with ‘.’) will now be ignored.
When processing files that matched the search path for attribute injection
all files that have ill formed / unparseable SZN strings will be logged as
error and skipped instead of raising an exception.
When processing files that matched the search path for attribute injection
all .py’s that doesn’t possess a TOPOLOGY variable will now be warned
and skipped instead of raising an exception.



Fix

Fixed attribute injection crashing when a SZN file is in the node expansion
search path.
Fixed rollback routine not being triggered when an non Exception subclass
is raised.




1.5.0 (2016-03-02)

New

New topology.platforms.shell.PExpectBashShell class that allows to easily
setup shells that uses bash.



Fix

Fixed small identation bug that caused the function get_shell() in the
node API to return always None.




1.4.0 (2016-03-01)

New

New low level shell API that allows to define a common behavior for all low
level shell manipulation. This API is implemented by the
topology.platforms.shell module.
Two new high level API methods for accesing the low level shell API:
myshell = mynode.get_shell('python')
response = myshell.execute('1 + 1')
Or using a context manager:
with mynode.use_shell('python') as python:
# This context manager sets the default shell to 'python'
mynode('from os import getcwd')
cwd = mynode('print(getcwd())')

# Access to the low-level shell API
python.send_command('foo = (', matches=['... '])




Changes

The shell used to execute a command will now be logged.




1.3.0 (2016-02-17)

Changes

Attribute injection will now try to match files on any subfolder of the
search paths and not only on the search paths themselves.



Fix

Fixed critical bug in injection attribute not considering matches in some
cases.




1.2.0 (2016-02-13)

New

Added new API for the topology nodes that allow to set the default shell.
For example, you may now use mynode.default_shell = 'bash'.
Documentation for the Attribute Injection feature was added.
Improvements for file matching in attribute injection files. Now, if using
pytest, all test folders passed as arguments will be used as search paths for
relative files specified in the attribute injection file. With this, it is no
longer required to use an absolute path, and this practice becomes deprecated.



Fix

Fixed a bug in attribute injection when using attribute=value as node
identifier that caused all nodes with the attribute to use that value.




1.1.0 (2016-01-26)
New

Added a common stateprovider decorator to topology.libraries.utils
that allows to easily inject state to an enode in a Communication library.
Added a common NodeLoader class to topology.platforms.utils that
allows a Platform Engine to find a load nodes for it’s platform.



1.0.1 (2016-01-22)
Fix

Fixed fatal bug when running a single node topology without ports.
Fixed new PEP8 checks on the codebase.



1.0.0 (2016-01-05)
New

Initial public release.
