It's possible to elevate privileges with sudo() in a context manager. This works fine.
Unfortunately, the privilege elevation does not affect the direct invocation of Ansible modules. That means Ansible modules must get elevated privileges with become=True, become_user="root" additionally even if sudo permissions are already set.
Please extend Testinfra to automatically use the elevated privileges from the sudo context manager when calling Ansible modules.
Example:
def test_sudo(host):
with open("result.txt", "w") as f:
whoami_wo_sudo = ansiblehost.check_output("id")
shell_wo_sudo = ansiblehost.ansible("shell id", check=False)
with ansiblehost.sudo(user="root"):
whoami_w_sudo = ansiblehost.check_output("id")
shell_w_sudo = ansiblehost.ansible("shell id", check=False)
shell_w_become = ansiblehost.ansible("shell id", check=False, become=True, become_user="root")
print(f"""\
