elog-cli 0.1.21

CLI tool for elog management

elog-cli

Overview

elog-cli is a command-line interface for managing elog entries and authentication. It interacts with the elog management backend and supports OAuth2 authentication.

Installation

To install elog-cli, clone the repository and install the required dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/elog-cli.git
cd elog-cli
pip install -r requirements.txt

Environment Variables

The following environment variables need to be set for the authentication manager to work:

• ELOG_CLI_CODE_FLOW_SERVER_URL: The URL of the OAuth2 code flow server (e.g., https://<hostname>/device/code).
• ELOG_CLI_TOKEN_URL: The URL to obtain the token (e.g., https://<hostname>/token).
• ELOG_CLI_CLIENT_ID: The client ID for OAuth2 authentication.
• ELOG_CLI_CLIENT_SECRET: The client secret for OAuth2 authentication.
• ELOG_CLI_ENPOINT_URL: The base URL for the elog management backend client.

Development

This project uses a devcontainer to run a complete setup environment to permit developers to work on the CLI. The devcontainer starts the elog backend container so the developer can interact with the backend without using the official one.

1. Download the mock user authentication data:

   wget http://elog:8080/v1/mock/users-auth -O user.json
   

2. Generate the Python client from the OpenAPI specification:

   ~/.local/bin/openapi-python-client generate --url http://elog:8080/api-docs --output-path elog_management_backend_client --overwrite
   

3. Ensure all required environment variables are set:

   export ENPOINT_URL="http://elog:8080"
   

4. Run the application:

   python main.py login --login-type token
   

   and paste one of the tokens found in the above downloaded user.json.

Helper Executable

A helper executable elog-cli is provided to simplify running the CLI. This script loads environment variables from a .env file and locates the main.py script to execute it. elog-cli helper try to find the .env file into the same directory of the script, to modify this behaviour the ELOG_CLI_ENV_FILE_PATH environment variable that point to the specific .env file can be used.

Usage

1. Ensure the .env file is present in the root directory of the project.
2. Make the elog-cli script executable:

   chmod +x elog-cli
   

3. Run the elog-cli script with the desired commands:

   ./elog-cli login --login-type token
