Hello Pete,

If I understand correctly, you are trying to automate a tool that required some user input. That's in fact not really related to lava as you might want to do the same on your own machine.
An option to automate this is to write a wrapper around your tool based on pexpect (that's what lava does internally).

You can find some documentation at: https://pexpect.readthedocs.io/en/stable/


Cheers

The test job runs in an LXC container.


I have a yaml file that contains some steps:


- apt-get install <some packages>

- pip install <python-command-line-interface-tool>

- python-command-line-inerface-tool


The python-command-line-inerface-tool has a prompt ("Select a device from the list:") for the user to select an option (in my case the option is "1").  There will be a different prompt in the error case ("No devices found!").


Is there a way of wrapping this last step in some way?



Pete

I think we'll need a lot more specific information for this, examples
etc. Interactive is probably what you need.
