function main_v23

Maturity: 42

Entry point function for a FileCloud ACL management test script that parses command-line arguments and initiates ACL testing.

File:
/tf/active/vicechatdev/test_acl_functions.py
Lines:
127 - 137
Complexity:
simple

Purpose

This function serves as the main entry point for a test script that validates FileCloud Access Control List (ACL) management functionality. It sets up an argument parser to collect server connection details (URL, credentials) and a test path, then invokes the test_acl_functions with these parameters to execute ACL-related tests.

Source Code

def main():
    """Main function for the test script."""
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Test FileCloud ACL management functions')
    parser.add_argument('--server', '-s', required=True, help='FileCloud server URL')
    parser.add_argument('--username', '-u', required=True, help='Username for authentication')
    parser.add_argument('--password', '-p', required=True, help='Password for authentication')
    parser.add_argument('--path', default='/test_acl', help='Path to use for ACL testing (default: /test_acl)')
    
    args = parser.parse_args()
    
    test_acl_functions(args.server, args.username, args.password, args.path)

Return Value

No explicit return value (returns None implicitly). The function's purpose is to orchestrate the test execution through side effects.

Dependencies

  • argparse
  • FC_api

Required Imports

import argparse
from FC_api import FileCloudAPI

Usage Example

# Save as test_filecloud_acl.py
import argparse
from FC_api import FileCloudAPI

def test_acl_functions(server, username, password, path):
    # Implementation of ACL tests
    print(f"Testing ACL on {server} at path {path}")
    pass

def main():
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Test FileCloud ACL management functions')
    parser.add_argument('--server', '-s', required=True, help='FileCloud server URL')
    parser.add_argument('--username', '-u', required=True, help='Username for authentication')
    parser.add_argument('--password', '-p', required=True, help='Password for authentication')
    parser.add_argument('--path', default='/test_acl', help='Path to use for ACL testing (default: /test_acl)')
    args = parser.parse_args()
    test_acl_functions(args.server, args.username, args.password, args.path)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

# Run from command line:
# python test_filecloud_acl.py --server https://filecloud.example.com --username admin --password secret123

Best Practices

  • This function should be called within an if __name__ == '__main__': block to prevent execution when imported as a module
  • Passwords should ideally be passed via environment variables or secure input methods rather than command-line arguments to avoid exposure in process lists
  • The function depends on test_acl_functions being defined elsewhere in the module - ensure this dependency is satisfied
  • Consider adding error handling around the test_acl_functions call to catch and report exceptions gracefully
  • The --path argument has a sensible default (/test_acl) but users should ensure this path exists or can be created on the FileCloud server
  • Command-line arguments are validated by argparse (required fields enforced), but additional validation of URL format and credentials may be beneficial
