🔍 Code Extractor

A diagnostic function that explores SharePoint site structure to investigate why only 2 folders are visible when more are expected in the web interface.

Purpose

This function serves as the main entry point for a SharePoint diagnostic tool. It validates configuration, explores the SharePoint site structure using the Graph API, and provides detailed feedback about potential reasons for folder visibility discrepancies. It helps troubleshoot issues where the SharePoint web interface shows more folders than are accessible via the API.

Source Code

def main():
    """Main diagnostic function."""
    print("SharePoint Structure Diagnostic")
    print("=" * 60)
    print("This diagnostic will explore why we're only seeing 2 folders")
    print("when the SharePoint web interface shows many more.")
    print()
    
    try:
        # Load configuration
        from config import Config
        Config.validate_config()
        
        print("✅ Configuration loaded successfully")
        print(f"SharePoint Site: {Config.SHAREPOINT_SITE_URL}")
        print()
        
        # Run comprehensive exploration
        success = explore_site_structure()
        
        if success:
            print("\n📋 DIAGNOSTIC SUMMARY:")
            print("-" * 30)
            print("The diagnostic has explored multiple ways to access your SharePoint content.")
            print("If we still only see 2 folders, it could mean:")
            print("1. The other folders are in a different document library")
            print("2. There are permission restrictions on those folders")
            print("3. The folders might be in a different site or subsite")
            print("4. The web interface shows a filtered or aggregated view")
            print()
            print("💡 RECOMMENDATION:")
            print("Check if there are multiple document libraries in your SharePoint site,")
            print("or if the folders are organized differently than expected.")
            
        return 0 if success else 1
        
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"❌ Diagnostic failed with exception: {e}")
        import traceback
        traceback.print_exc()
        return 1

Return Value

Returns an integer exit code: 0 if the diagnostic completed successfully, 1 if any errors occurred during execution. This follows standard Unix exit code conventions for command-line tools.

Dependencies

• requests
• config
• sharepoint_graph_client
• traceback

Required Imports

from config import Config
import traceback

Conditional/Optional Imports

These imports are only needed under specific conditions:

from config import Config

import traceback

Usage Example

if __name__ == '__main__':
    exit_code = main()
    sys.exit(exit_code)

Best Practices

• This function should be called as the main entry point of a diagnostic script
• Ensure config.py is properly configured with SharePoint credentials before running
• The function depends on explore_site_structure() which must be defined elsewhere in the codebase
• Use the return code to determine success/failure in shell scripts or CI/CD pipelines
• Review the diagnostic output to understand SharePoint folder visibility issues
• Check for multiple document libraries, permission restrictions, or different sites/subsites if folders are missing
