tableau_helpers

A wrapper for the tableau-server-client and hyper-api which abstracts away boilerplate and in some cases provides a CLI which works without admin privileges.

tableau_helpers.hyper

Create hyperfiles from one or more csvs by providing a source, destination, schema, and optional parameters.

Code integration

See test_hyper.py for some examples in action.

tableau_helpers.publish

Upload datasources from your machine to the tableau server by providing a hyperfile as a source and a project as a destination.

Code integration

See test_publish.py for an example.

Development

There are a few steps to set up the development environment.

1. Make a copy of .env.sample and save it as .env
2. Add your Personal Access Token to .env
3. Set the tableau-server url in .env ex: https://tableau-test.rki.local
4. If your SSL cert is self signed, download a copy of your pem and provide the path in .env, otherwise delete the cert entry.
5. Install pre-commit either in an environment or for your user.
6. Setup pre-commit hooks
   1. pre-commit install -t pre-commit
   2. pre-commit install -t pre-push
7. Install tox either in an environment or for your user.
   1. Test run tox for unit tests tox (note: some integration tests require a connection to your tableau server)
   2. Test run tox to reformat files tox -e lint
