An extensible Python test suite for verifying that an installation of the Posit Team stack is correctly configured and working end-to-end.
Given a running cluster, vip walks through each component — Connect,
Workbench, Package Manager — checks connectivity, runs sanity tests against
their public and internal APIs, and reports what’s broken and where. Customers
use it to confirm that their install matches production expectations after
deployment or upgrades. We use it internally to catch configuration drift and
regressions before they reach a production release.
The suite is designed to be extensible: new checks can be added as first-class test cases without touching the runner, which means every time we learn something the hard way, that lesson becomes a permanent regression guard.
