Working with E-Mails

If your scenario needs to work with e-mails, you can use the following feature and add it to your device:

import balderhub.email.lib.scenario_features

class ScenarioExample(balder.Scenario):


    class MyDevice(balder.Device):
        mail = balderhub.email.lib.scenario_features.EmailReaderFeature()

    def test_example(self):
        new_mail = self.MyDevice.mail.wait_for_new_mail()
        assert new_mail.body_text == "Hello World"

This feature can be used to retrieve mails independent if your test setup captures the output of a outgoing SMTP server (usually as a simulated test server) or is connected with a real POP3/IMAP server.

All BalderHub packages for these protocols provide an implementation of this feature:

BalderHub Package	Description / Setup-Level Feature Implementations
balderhub-smtp	BalderHub Package providing SMTP server for outgoing mails - specially for simulating smtp servers balderhub.smtp.lib.setup_features.LocalSmtpReader for reading mails from a SMTP server within the assigned device balderhub.smtp.lib.setup_features.ProxySmtpReader for reading mails from a SMTP server of another connected device

Note

There are no balderhub packages for IMAP/POP3 yet. If you’re interested in developing such a package, feel free to reach out.
