Pytest Netbox Docker

Pytest Netbox Docker is a specialized plugin for the Pytest framework, designed to simplify the testing of applications that depend on a complete Netbox infrastructure. Utilizing Docker, this plugin provides essential fixtures that allow developers to spin up a robust Netbox environment effortlessly, eliminating the complexities associated with manually setting up dependencies.

Key Features

• Docker Integration: The plugin uses the Python Docker SDK directly, facilitating seamless operations without the need for alternative libraries like testcontainers.
• Flexible Configuration: Customize the behavior of the plugin through environment variables, enabling easy adjustments to suit specific testing requirements.

Usage Example

To utilize the netbox fixture in a test:

import requests

def test_mytest(netbox):
    resp = requests.get("http://localhost:8080/login/")
    resp.raise_for_status()

Activate the plugin when running your test suite with the following command:

pytest -p pytest_netbox_docker

Note: Ensure that port 8080 on localhost is available, as the Netbox web server will use this port. Additionally, be aware that Netbox may take some time to start and apply migrations before becoming fully operational.
