add the ability to generate Xauthority files #17

Closed Kingdread closed 7 years ago

Kingdread commented 8 years ago

Some programs need a Xauthority file present, which is not automatically generated by Xvfb or Xephyr. This patch adds this ability with the use_xauth parameter. If this parameter is True, PyVirtualDisplay will generate a Xauthority file for the display and it will set the right environment variables.

If xauth is not installed when use_xauth=True is given, a pyvirtualdisplay.xauth.NotFoundError is raised.

Yay, thanks for the merge! Are there plans for a release including this anytime soon? :wink:

ponty commented 7 years ago

I can make a new release today if you need it.

That'd be awesome, at least if @Kingdread still feels like working on https://github.com/The-Compiler/pytest-xvfb/issues/4 for https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/pull/1844 :wink:
