Re: [BuildStream] How to catch regressions in buildstream's interactive interface

[Gökçen Nurlu <gokcennurlu gmail com>]

Hello all,

Maybe we can find a way to make use of  `input=` kwarg of click's own
`invoke()` method [0].
`tests.testutils.runcli.Cli.run()` [1] can possibly be extended to
accept such parameter and pass that to click object [2], somehow.

[0] - https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/7.x/testing/#input-streams
[1] - https://gitlab.com/BuildStream/buildstream/blob/master/tests/testutils/runcli.py#L238
[2] - https://gitlab.com/BuildStream/buildstream/blob/master/tests/testutils/runcli.py#L313

Additionally, I think extending test utils to introduce this kind of
tests might deserve a separate issue to track it more visibly. Do have
one already?

Best regards,
Gokcen
