# pytest SMTPD Fixture

![build](https://github.com/bebleo/bebleo_smtpd_fixture/workflows/build/badge.svg)


A simple SMTP server based on `aiosmtpd` for use as a fixture with pytest that supports encryption and authentication. All this does is receives messages and appends them to a list as an `email.Message`.

This fisture is intended to address use-cases where to test an application that sends an email it needs to be intercepted for subsequent processing. For example, sending an email with a code for password reset or two-factor authentication. This fixture allows a test to trigger the email being sent, ensure that it's sent, and read the code from the email.

## Installing

Install using pip:

```sh
pip install bebleo-smtpd-fixture
```

Or, if you're using setuptools it can be included in the `tests_require` section of a `setup.py` file:

```python
setup(
    ...
    tests_require = [
        "pytest",
        "bebleo-smtpd-fixture",
    ],
)
```

## Using

To use the `smtpd` fixture import it into your test file and then use it like any other pytest fixture. for example:

```python
# test_mail.py
from smtplib import SMTP

from bebleo_smtpd_fixture import smtpd


def test_sendmail(smtpd):
    from_addr = "from.addr@example.org"
    to_addrs = "to.addr@example.org"
    msg = f"From: {from_addr}\r\nTo: {to_addrs}\r\nSubject: Foo\r\n\r\nFoo bar"

    with SMTP(smtpd.hostname, smtpd.port) as client:
        client.sendmail(from_addr, to_addrs, msg)

    assert len(smtpd.messages) == 1
```

To use STARTTLS:

```python
from smtplib import SMTP

import pytest
from bebleo_smtpd_fixture import smtpd


@pytest.fixture
def mock_use_starttls(monkeypatch):
    monkeypatch.setenv('SMTPD_USE_STARTTLS', 'True')

def test_sendmail(mock_use_starttls, smtpd):
    from_ = "from.addr@example.org"
    to_ = "to.addr@example.org"
    msg = f"From: {from_}\r\nTo: {to_}\r\nSubject: Foo\r\n\r\nFoo bar"

    with SMTP(smtpd.hostname, smtpd.port) as client:
        client.starttls()  # Note that you need to call starttls first.
        client.sendmail(from_addr, to_addrs, msg)

    assert len(smtpd.messages) == 1
```

The certificates included with the fixture will work for addresses localhost, localhost.localdomain, 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.1, ::1. If using other addresses the key (key.pem) and certificate (cert.pem) must be in a location specified under `SMTP_SSL_CERTS_PATH`.

### Configuration

Configuration can be handled through environment variables:

Variable | Default | Description
---------|---------|------------
`SMTPD_HOST` | `127.0.0.1` | The hostname that the fixture will listen on.
`SMTPD_PORT` | `8025` | The port that the fixture will listen on.
`SMPTD_USERNAME` | `user` | 
`SMTPD_PASSWORD` | `password` | 
`SMTPD_USE_SSL` | `False` | Whether the fixture should use fixed TLS/SSL for transactions. If using smtplib requires that `SMTP_SSL` be used instead of `SMTP`.
`SMTPD_USE_STARTTLS` | `False` | Whether the fixture should use StartTLS to encrypt the connections. If using `smptlib` requires that the `SMTP.starttls()` be called before other commands are issued.
`SMTPD_ENFORCE_AUTH` | `False` | If set to true then the fixture refuses MAIL, RCPT, DATA commands until authentication is completed.
`SMTPD_SSL_CERTS_PATH` | `\certs\` | The path to the key and certificate for encrypted communication.

If these variables are included in a `.env` file they'll be loaded automatically.

## Known Issues

+ Firewalls may interfere with the operation of the smtp server.
+ Authenticating with LOGIN and PLAIN mechanisms fails over TLS/SSL, but works with STARTTLS. [Issue #10](https://github.com/bebleo/bebleo_smtpd_fixture/issures/10) 
+ Currently no support for termination through signals. [Issue #4](https://github.com/bebleo/bebleo_smtpd_fixture/issues/4)
+ Key and certificate for encrypted communications must be called key.pem and cert.pem respectively. [Issue #15](https://github.com/bebleo/bebleo_smtpd_fixture/issues/15)
