pytest-sftpserver is a plugin for pytest that provides a local SFTP-Server fixture.

The SFTP-Server provided by this fixture serves content not from files but directly from Python objects.

Quickstart

Assume you want to test a function that downloads a file from an SFTP-Server:

from contextlib import closing
import paramiko
def get_sftp_file(host, port, username, password, path):
    with closing(paramiko.Transport((host, port))) as transport:
        transport.connect(username=username, password=password)
        with closing(paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(transport)) as sftpclient:
            with sftpclient.open(path, "r") as sftp_file:
                return sftp_file.read()

This plugin allows to test such functions without having to spin up an external SFTP-Server by providing a pytest fixture called sftpserver. You use it simply by adding a parameter named sftpserver to your test function:

def test_sftp_fetch(sftpserver):
    with sftpserver.serve_content({'a_dir': {'somefile.txt': "File content"}}):
        assert get_sftp_file(sftpserver.host, sftpserver.port, "user",
                             "pw", "/a_dir/somefile.txt") == "File content"

As can be seen from this example sftpserver serves content directly from python objects instead of files.
