micado-parser 0.12.0

Parse MiCADO ADTs for the MiCADO Submitter

MiCADO Parser

The MiCADO component responsible for parsing and validating ADTs

Historically part of the MiCADO TOSCASubmitter, now a standalone library and command-line tool used inside MiCADO and on its own for validating single-file (YAML) and multi-file (CSAR) ADTs.

Dependencies

The MiCADO Parser uses the following packages:

• TOSCA Parser
• ruamel.yaml
• Click

Installation

Install the latest version of the MiCADO Parser from PyPI.

pip install micado-parser

or from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/micado-scale/micado-parser
pip install micado-parser/.

Usage

Command-line

For some helpful tips, use the --help option

micadoparser --help

To validate an ADT, simply point at an ADT.

micadoparser /home/ubuntu/adts/nginx.yaml

Multi-file ADTs in .csar format are also supported

micadoparser /home/ubuntu/adts/wordpress.csar

The tool can handle multiple files.

micadoparser ~/adts/nginx.yaml ~/adts/wordpress.csar

Or an entire directory.

micadoparser ~/adts/*

For verbose output use the -v option (for even more verbosity use -vv or -vvv).

micadoparser -v ~/adts/nginx.yaml

Library

The primary function of the MiCADO Parser is to return a validated ToscaTemplate object.

To use it in your own project, simply import the set_template function and pass it the path to your ADT. You can optionally pass a dictionary of TOSCA inputs, if inputs are defined in your ADT.

from micadoparser import set_template

tpl = set_template("/home/ubuntu/adts/nginx.yaml")

tpl_with_params = set_template(
    "home/ubuntu/adts/wordpress.csar",
    {"username": "jay", "token": "ABD992LOKAL"}
)

To use the package for validation only, use the set_template function and catch the MultiError exception.

from micadoparser import set_template, MultiError

try:
    set_template("/home/ubuntu/adts/nginx.yaml")
except MultiError as e:
    print(e)

Comparison with the OpenStack TOSCA Parser

The MiCADO Parser adds a few features compared to the upstream TOSCA Parser.

• MiCADO-specific validations
• MiCADO-specific CSAR handling
• Input resolution
• Support for some TOSCA v1.3 features
