I've definitely considered this; I'll probably do a "best effort" at
getting network level testing without having a live setup, but if that
fails I probably will just use a restricted user on a specific system,
or (possibly better) have the tests ssh to "localhost" and use
non-destructive commands when testing.
The benefit of this latter approach is that anyone could run the tests
-- I'd be sad if I had to have a test suite that only works when I run
it, or can't be run offline :) Downside is that it might be harder to
know what the output of e.g. "ls -l $HOME" would be, i.e. every system
is different. Offhand I'm thinking of having the test suite find out
where on the filesystem it is, and to do stuff like "ls -l
/path/to/where/fabric/seems/to/be" which might solve that problem.
It will be an exciting problem solving situation, for sure.
