[erlang-questions] Common test: ct_ssh usage?

[tom kelly]

Hi Mikkel,

I've used ct_ssh in the past and found it to be an extremely useful wrapper
for the ssh application!

If I create a config file (and call it "ssh.config") for common test with
the following entry:

{nodeICanSshTo,[
                {ssh,"127.0.0.1"},
                {username,"myName"},
                {password,"letMeIn"}
]}.


Then from an erlang shell I can:


1> ct:install([{config,["ssh.config"]}]).
ok
2> ct:start_interactive().
<0.43.0>
3> ct:get_config({nodeICanSshTo).
[{ssh,"127.0.0.1"},{username,"myName"},{password,"letMeIn"}]
4> {ok,A} = ct_ssh:connect(nodeICanSshTo).
{ok,<0.53.0>}
5> {ok,B} = ct_ssh:session_open(A).
{ok,0}
6>


If you're using ct:run there's no need for the "install" and
"start_interactive" calls, I've just used interactive mode here for
demonstration.
Maybe you've got this far already? If this doesn't help include your config
file data next time.
