This gets the basics in a very simplistic fashion. What's missing is any indication of the availability of this feature in the argparse created help (the output one sees from gabbi-run --help). It's not clear what the best way to add this is, since the feature is being managed outside argparse.

YAML Runner
If there is a running web service that needs to be tested and
creating a test loader with ~gabbi.driver.build_tests is either inconvenient or
overkill it is possible to run YAML test files directly from the command
line with the console-script gabbi-run. It accepts YAML on
stdin or as multiple file arguments, and generates and runs
tests and outputs a summary of the results.
The provided YAML may not use custom fixtures but otherwise uses the default format. host information is either
expressed directly in the YAML file or provided on the command line:
gabbi-run [host[:port]] < /my/test.yamlor:
gabbi-run http://host:port < /my/test.yamlTo test with one or more files the following command syntax may be used:
gabbi-run http://host:port -- /my/test.yaml /my/other.yamlNote
The filename arguments must come after a -- and all
other arguments (host, port, prefix, failfast) must come before the
--.
To facilitate using the same tests against the same application
mounted in different locations in a WSGI server, a prefix
may be provided as a second argument:
gabbi-run host[:port] [prefix] < /my/test.yamlor in the target URL:
gabbi-run http://host:port/prefix < /my/test.yamlThe value of prefix will be prepended to the path portion of URLs that are not fully qualified.
Anywhere host is used, if it is a raw IPV6 address it should be
wrapped in [ and ].
If https is used in the target, then the tests in the
provided YAML will default to ssl: True.
If a -x or --failfast argument is provided
then gabbi-run will exit after the first test failure.
