SASE EdgeConnect Utilities

Shared utilities package used by EdgeConnect pytest suites.

Package Purpose

• Provides common libraries consumed by test runners (for example, testbed loading, helpers, API/session utilities).
• Typical usage is through PYTHONPATH from a test suite workspace.

Required by Customer Test Runs

When running the customer pytest suite, this package must be available on PYTHONPATH:

• <workspace>/pytest-tools-lib

The test suite package is usually added too:

• <workspace>/pytest-vxoa-system

Testbed JSON Files

The framework expects testbed definitions in:

• pytest-tools-lib/testbed_json/testbed_files/

Recommended customer flow:

• Use the UI under pytest-tools-lib/Testbed_Json_UI
• Refer to: pytest-tools-lib/Testbed_Json_UI/HOW_TO_GENERATE_TESTBED_JSON.md

Reference and helpers:

• Reference template: pytest-tools-lib/testbed_json/testbed_files/sample_testbed.json
• UI-backed generator implementation: pytest-tools-lib/Testbed_Json_UI/create_testbed_json_UI.py
• Legacy script helper: pytest-tools-lib/create_testbed_json.py

Compatibility Note

Some legacy scripts still read these environment flags. If already present, keep them as:

• CHECK_ERROR_LOG=DISABLED
• CHECK_SNAPSHOT_AND_LOG_ERRORS=DISABLED
• FILE_JIRA=DISABLED
