# salt.modules.test

Module for running arbitrary tests

salt.modules.test.arg(*args, **kwargs)

  Print out the data passed into the function `*args` and `kwargs`, this is used to both test the publication data and CLI argument passing, but also to display the information available within the publication data.

salt.modules.test.arg_repr(*args, **kwargs)

  Print out the data passed into the function `*args` and `kwargs`, this is used to both test the publication data and CLI argument passing, but also to display the information available within the publication data.

    `{"args": repr(args), "kwargs": repr(kwargs)}`

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' test.arg_repr 1 "two" 3.1 txt="hello" wow='{a: 1, b: "hello"}'

  List the modules that were not loaded by the salt loader system

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' test.not_loaded

salt.modules.test.opts_pkg()

  Return an `opts` package with the `grains` and `opts` for this Minion. This is primarily used to create the options used for Master side state compiling routines

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' test.opts_pkg

salt.modules.test.outputter(data)

  Test the outputter, pass in data to return

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' test.outputter foobar

salt.modules.test.ping()

salt.modules.test.raise_exception(name, *args, **kwargs)

  Raise an exception. Built-in exceptions and those in `salt.exceptions` can be raised by this test function. If no matching exception is found, then no exception will be raised and this function will return `False`.

  This function is designed to test Salt's exception and return code handling.

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' test.raise_exception TypeError "An integer is required"
      salt '*' test.raise_exception salt.exceptions.CommandExecutionError "Something went wrong"

salt.modules.test.rand_str(size=9999999999, hash_type=None)

  This function has been renamed to `test.random_hash`. This function will stay to ensure backwards compatibility, but please switch to using the preferred name `test.random_hash`.

salt.modules.test.random_hash(size=9999999999, hash_type=None)

  Added in version 2015.5.2.

  Changed in version 2018.3.0: Function has been renamed from `test.rand_str` to `test.random_hash`

  Generates a random number between 1 and `size`, then returns a hash of that number. If no `hash_type` is passed, the `hash_type` specified by the Minion's `hash_type` config option is used.

  Jinja Example:

      {% for i in range(0,230) %}
          {{ salt['test.try'](module='ipmi.get_users', bmc_host='172.2.2.'+i)|yaml(False) }}
