brundeckrun

A(nother) fork of the client library written in Python to interact with the Rundeck API, the majority of which was created by Mark LaPerriere.

The fork exists mostly because the environment Lambda Vector uses it in requires it to be hosted on pypi, so updates must be pushed quickly. In addition, the requirement to run tests against a live Rundeck is a no-no.

Rundeck (API) version compatibility:

Some calls are under active use/development, primarily:

• Job imports: API v1+
• Project archive imports: API v14+

All other calls should work correctly as long as they are not deprecated or if Rundeck fail to correctly implement backwards compatibility.

Python version

Target python version: 2.7 Should work (but not tested aagainst): 3

Installation

pip install brundeckrun

Use

>>> from rundeck.client import Rundeck
>>> rd = Rundeck('rundeck.server.com', api_token='SECRET_API_TOKEN')
>>> rd.list_projects()
[{
    'description': None,
    'name': 'TestProject',
    'resources': {'providerURL': 'http://localhost:8000/resources.xml'},
}]
>>> rd.list_jobs('TestProject')
[{'description': 'Hello World!',
  'group': None,
  'id': 'a6e1e0f7-ad32-4b93-ba2c-9387be06a146',
  'name': 'HelloWorld',
  'project': 'TestProject'}]
>>> rd.run_job('a6e1e0f7-ad32-4b93-ba2c-9387be06a146', argString={'from':'brundeckrun'})
{'argstring': '-from brundeckrun',
 'date-started': datetime.datetime(2013, 7, 11, 18, 4, 24),
 'description': 'Plugin[localexec, nodeStep: true]',

Tests

Unit tests

Unit tests are performed via tox.

To install tox and then run the tests:

pip install tox
tox

Integration tests

Note: currently the integrations are not up-to-date and are not under continous integration. Soon though...

Running the tests requires a running Rundeck server (the Rundeck standalone jar works well) and an API token for said Rundeck server.

You'll have to at least set the API token environment variable of RUNDECK_API_TOKEN but there are other environment variables to be aware of. The list is below and can be found at the head of the tests/__init__.py file. They should be fairly self-explanatory (OK, RUNDECK_PROTOCOL might not be self-explanatory... use either 'http' or 'https' there).

.. code-block:: bash

RUNDECK_API_TOKEN
RUNDECK_SERVER
RUNDECK_PORT
RUNDECK_PROTOCOL

Next clone the repo.

.. code-block:: bash

git clone https://github.com/pmatias/brundeckrun

.. note:: activate your virtualenv <http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/>_

Then install the requirements and dev requirements.

.. code-block:: bash

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements_dev.txt

Lastly, execute nose tests.

.. code-block:: bash
