function test_sharepoint_connection

Maturity: 42

Tests the connection to a SharePoint site by attempting to instantiate a SharePointClient with Azure credentials and configuration settings.

File:
/tf/active/vicechatdev/SPFCsync/test_connections.py
Lines:
27 - 43
Complexity:
simple

Purpose

This function serves as a diagnostic tool to verify that SharePoint connectivity is properly configured. It validates that the SharePointClient can be initialized with the provided Azure credentials (client ID and secret) and SharePoint site URL from the Config module. This is typically used during setup, troubleshooting, or as part of a health check routine to ensure the application can communicate with SharePoint before attempting actual operations.

Source Code

def test_sharepoint_connection():
    """Test SharePoint connection."""
    print("Testing SharePoint connection...")
    try:
        from sharepoint_client import SharePointClient
        from config import Config
        
        client = SharePointClient(
            Config.SHAREPOINT_SITE_URL,
            Config.AZURE_CLIENT_ID,
            Config.AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET
        )
        print("✓ SharePoint connection successful")
        return True
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"✗ SharePoint connection failed: {e}")
        return False

Return Value

Returns a boolean value: True if the SharePoint connection is successfully established (SharePointClient instantiation succeeds), False if any exception occurs during the connection attempt. The function also prints status messages to stdout indicating success (✓) or failure (✗) with error details.

Dependencies

  • config

Required Imports

from sharepoint_client import SharePointClient
from config import Config

Conditional/Optional Imports

These imports are only needed under specific conditions:

from sharepoint_client import SharePointClient

Condition: imported inside try block when function executes

Usage Example

# Ensure config.py exists with required settings:
# class Config:
#     SHAREPOINT_SITE_URL = 'https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursite'
#     AZURE_CLIENT_ID = 'your-client-id'
#     AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET = 'your-client-secret'

# Run the connection test
result = test_sharepoint_connection()
if result:
    print('Connection verified, proceed with SharePoint operations')
else:
    print('Connection failed, check credentials and configuration')

Best Practices

  • This function should be called before attempting any SharePoint operations to verify connectivity
  • Ensure all required Config attributes (SHAREPOINT_SITE_URL, AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET) are properly set before calling
  • The function prints to stdout, so consider redirecting output if using in production logging systems
  • This is a test function and should not be used for production connection management - use proper connection pooling and error handling for production code
  • The function catches all exceptions broadly, which is appropriate for testing but may hide specific configuration issues
  • Consider running this as part of application startup or health check endpoints
