run api

Shortcut function to start a Task(), wait for it to finish, and return the result to the caller. This api avoids the overhead of having to deal with the task objects, and provides a black-box method of creating tasks sequentially.

Parameters

Bases: multiprocessing.context.ForkProcess

Task class

Task class represents the actual task/testscript being executed through a child process. All tasks within easypy are encapsulated in its own forked process from easypy main program.

Comes with all the necessary apis to allow users to control task runs from a jobfile, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous execution of tasks.

task constructor

instantiates a new task object. This does not fork/start the new process yet. Task results are piped back to the calling process using TaskPipe instance.

Parameters

• (path/file) (testscript) – the test-harness in the task child process

• (str) (test_harness) –

• (str) – testscript. Default to ats.aetest. (very advanced developers only)

• (TaskManager) (manager) –

• (dict) (kwargs) – harness.

Type

property getter

run()

run task

main entry point of all task processes. This api is run in the context of the forked child process. The following is performed here:

1. configure environment/process for test harness execution

2. attempt to run the test-harness with the provided arguments, catch any errors that may occur and report to parent using task messaging system

3. wrap up.

Returns

Return type

returns the unique task identifer in a TestableId format.

Type

property

wait(max_runtime=None)

wait method

Waits for this task to finish executing. If max_runtime is provided and exceeded, the task child process will be terminated (SIGTERM), and a TimeoutException will be raised to the caller.

Parameters

(int) (max_runtime) – finish, before terminating it forcifully and raising errors. If not provided, waits forever.

class pyats.easypy.tasks.TaskManager(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: pyats.easypy.base.Component

TaskManager class

Each jobfile contains a single TaskManager, and all jobfile tasks are automatically registered to it. This allows global-management of all current running tasks & etc.

run(*args, max_runtime=None, **kwargs)

run api

Shortcut function to start a Task(), wait for it to finish, and return the result to the caller. This api avoids the overhead of having to deal with the task objects, and provides a black-box method of creating tasks sequentially.

• (tuple) (args) –

• (dict) (kwargs) –

Returns

Return type

the task’s result code

terminate()

terminate all tasks

This api terminates all currently active tasks. If a task is parent to other children processes, its these child processes are sent the SIGTERM signal before the parent task is terminated.

pyats.easypy.tasks.run(*args, max_runtime=None, **kwargs)

run api

Shortcut function to start a Task(), wait for it to finish, and return the result to the caller. This api avoids the overhead of having to deal with the task objects, and provides a black-box method of creating tasks sequentially.

Parameters

• (int) (max_runtime) – finish, before terminating it forcifully and raising errors. If not provided, waits forever.

• (tuple) (args) –

• (dict) (kwargs) –

Returns

Return type

the task’s result code

Module provides utility functions for easypy package.

pyats.easypy.utils.filter_exception(exc_type, exc_value, tb)

Filters an exception’s traceback stack and removes Easypy stack frames from it to make it more apparent that the error came from a script. Should be only used on user-script errors, and must not be used when an error is caught from pyats.easypy infra itself.

Any frame with __easypy_infra__ flag set is considered easypy infra stack.

Returns

• properly formatted exception message with stack trace, with easypy

• stacks removed

pyats.easypy.utils.makedirs(*paths, mode=None, exist_ok=False)

make dirs

needed because makedirs mode=x is combined with the user/process’s UMASK, requiring explicit call to os.chmod, so this api supports both creating the dirs and setting the mode in one shot.

Only creates the dirs if it doesn’t exist already. Double wammy.

Parameters

• (list) (paths) –

• (oct) (mode) –

• (bool) (exist_ok) –

pyats.easypy.utils.tozip(runinfo, archive)

Add all files in the folder to archive file.
