❔ Mock linux server
I'm trying to write some unit tests for an application I created that will ssh into several servers and check some configurations, etc.
Is there a good way to mock this? Could I do some dummy server somehow, or mock a SshClient?
I'm certainly not super experienced when it comes to unit testing. Would it be fine to just use Moq and give a SshClient/ShellStream a Setup and Returns to just return some dummy data back from the calls?

Well unfortunately, the
SshClient is being created inside the method I'm testing. It takes in a ConnectionInfo object. So doing it that way, I'd need to pass it some ConnectionInfo to some fake server. So that probably complicates things.ssh into your own system maybe
or use a vm
Yeah, I was looking at MockServer and that seems pretty useful. But it would only exist locally for me, so no one else could run the tests
