vSphere: mock framework for unit tests ?

[matchaxnb]

Hello,

I'm a contributor to the vSphere provider. I can perform tests on my work environment however I have no idea how it runs in the CI env on Github.

Ideally I'd love to get a mock framework so we could just run them without the costly env (and implications).

Anyone interested in contributing such a module? I have checked what's around and noticed the SimDK project but it seems unmaintained as of today and only supports the 4.x branch of the vSphere API. Any hints?

@ChloeTigre I have been looking at this myself and found this:

https://github.com/tehranian/vagrant-vcenter-simulator

This is a real vCenter running in simulator mode.

I'm trying to find time to test this setup...

We're working on setting up a test vSphere cluster as well. Unfortunately we prefer not to mock for our acceptance test suite.
