How to Mock a CI Pipeline with Build, Test, and Deploy Stages in Python
Simulate a three-stage CI pipeline (build, test, deploy) in Python with random pass/fail logic, early exit on failure, and measured stage durations.
import time
import random
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class StageResult:
name: str
status: str
duration: float
def run_stage(name: str, success_chance: float = 0.9) -> StageResult:
"""Simulate a pipeline stage with random success/failure."""
start = time.time()
time.sleep(r…
How to hide incomplete mock features with a Python feature toggle
A simple decorator-based feature toggle that returns a placeholder when a mock feature is disabled, so incomplete code can ship safely.
import functools
class FeatureToggle:
def __init__(self, enabled=False):
self.enabled = enabled
def feature(self, func=None):
"""Decorator to conditionally enable a feature."""
if func is None:
return self.feature
@functools.wraps(func)
def wrapper(*args,…
How to simulate GitLab CI stages in Python
Build a lightweight Python mock of GitLab CI pipeline stages to test job sequencing and output locally.
def mock_gitlab_ci_stages():
stages = ["build", "test", "deploy"]
stage_status = {}
for stage in stages:
jobs = []
if stage == "build":
jobs = ["compile", "package"]
elif stage == "test":
jobs = ["unit", "integration", "e2e"]
elif stage == "deploy":…
How to simulate a Jenkins pipeline in Python
Simulate a Jenkins-style pipeline in Python by running sequential stages and checking aggregate success.
def run_stage(name, duration, fn):
print(f"[Pipeline] Running stage: {name}")
result = fn()
print(f"[Pipeline] Stage '{name}' completed in {duration}s -> {result}")
return result
def build_project():
print(" compiling source...")
return "BUILD_OK"
def run_tests():
