Purpose

This function serves as a diagnostic/testing utility to verify that the SharePoint integration is working correctly. It authenticates with SharePoint using Azure credentials, retrieves all documents from a configured path, and displays summary information including document count and sample document names with modification dates. Returns True on success, False on failure.

Source Code

def test_sharepoint_listing():
    """Test SharePoint document listing."""
    print("Testing SharePoint document listing...")
    try:
        from sharepoint_client import SharePointClient
        from config import Config
        
        client = SharePointClient(
            Config.SHAREPOINT_SITE_URL,
            Config.AZURE_CLIENT_ID,
            Config.AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET
        )
        
        documents = client.get_all_documents(Config.SHAREPOINT_DOCUMENTS_PATH)
        print(f"✓ Found {len(documents)} documents in SharePoint")
        
        if documents:
            print("Sample documents:")
            for doc in documents[:3]:  # Show first 3
                print(f"  - {doc['name']} (modified: {doc['modified']})")
            if len(documents) > 3:
                print(f"  ... and {len(documents) - 3} more")
        
        return True
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"✗ SharePoint listing failed: {e}")
        return False

Return Value

Returns a boolean value: True if the SharePoint document listing operation succeeds (documents are retrieved without errors), False if any exception occurs during the process. The function also prints diagnostic information to stdout including success/failure messages and document details.

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 at runtime when function executes

Usage Example

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

# Run the test
result = test_sharepoint_listing()
if result:
    print('SharePoint connection test passed')
else:
    print('SharePoint connection test failed')

Best Practices

  • This function is intended for testing/diagnostic purposes, not production use
  • Ensure all required configuration values are set in Config before calling
  • The function catches all exceptions broadly - consider more specific error handling for production code
  • Prints output directly to stdout - redirect or capture output if needed in automated testing
  • Only displays first 3 documents to avoid cluttering output with large document lists
  • Requires proper Azure AD app registration with SharePoint permissions
  • The SharePointClient and Config modules must be available in the Python path
