I currently have two hosts which run a client and server Python program which send TLS traffic to one another - I have tested this outside of mininet to confirm it works (and it does!).
However, the goal here is to use tcpdump/tshark/wireshark to capture the TLS traffic between these two hosts. I have tried things such as using quietRun or subprocess.Popen to call tcpdump -i any -w capture.pcap however these do not seem to capture the traffic for my hosts, or they stall until I ctrl+c and/or go straight to the CLI(net).
For reference; this is all using mininet CLI - the aim is to do this programmatically

I have done this in the past by using the node's popen method to start the pcap and then the terminate to close the process and force it to record the pcap.
Say you have a node called h1. Then you can do
h1_pcap = h1.popen('tcpdump -w h1_dump.pcap')
# Do stuff here
# ...
h1_pcap.terminate()
This should record all traffic on h1 into h1_dump.pcap once the script is executed.
