Comprehensive test function that validates ACL (Access Control List) management operations in FileCloudAPI, including creating, reading, updating, and deleting ACL entries for users and groups.

Purpose

This function serves as an integration test suite for FileCloud's ACL management functionality. It tests the complete lifecycle of ACL operations: authentication, folder creation/verification, retrieving system-wide and path-specific ACLs, adding ACL entries for users and groups with various permissions, verifying the additions, deleting ACL entries, and final verification. It's designed to validate that the FileCloudAPI correctly handles permission management for files and folders in a FileCloud server environment.

Parameters

Parameter Details

server_url: The complete URL of the FileCloud server to connect to (e.g., 'https://filecloud.example.com'). Must be a valid HTTP/HTTPS URL pointing to an accessible FileCloud instance.

username: The username credential for authenticating with the FileCloud server. Must be an existing user account with sufficient privileges to manage ACLs and create folders.

password: The password credential corresponding to the username. Used for authentication during the login process.

test_path: The file system path within FileCloud where ACL testing will be performed (e.g., '/testfolder' or '/path/to/test'). If the folder doesn't exist, it will be created. Should be a path where the authenticated user has permission to create folders and manage ACLs.

Return Value

Type: None

Returns None. This is a test function that performs operations and prints results to stdout. Success or failure is communicated through console output and potential sys.exit(1) calls on critical failures (login failure or folder creation failure). All test results are printed using print_json() function for formatted output.

Dependencies

• FC_api
• os
• sys
• argparse
• json
• logging
• typing

Required Imports

import os
import sys
from FC_api import FileCloudAPI

Usage Example

# Assuming print_json function is defined
def print_json(data):
    import json
    print(json.dumps(data, indent=2))

# Import the required module
from FC_api import FileCloudAPI
import os
import sys

# Define test parameters
server_url = "https://filecloud.example.com"
username = "admin@example.com"
password = "secure_password"
test_path = "/test_acl_folder"

# Run the ACL tests
test_acl_functions(server_url, username, password, test_path)

# The function will:
# 1. Login to FileCloud
# 2. Create test folder if needed
# 3. Test all ACL operations
# 4. Print results for each operation
# 5. Clean up by removing test ACL entries

Best Practices

• Update the hardcoded test_user ('sandra@vicebio.com') and test_group ('testgroup') variables to match actual users/groups in your FileCloud system before running
• Ensure the authenticated user has sufficient privileges to create folders and manage ACLs in the target location
• The function calls sys.exit(1) on critical failures, so it's designed for standalone execution rather than being called within larger applications
• Consider wrapping this function in try-except blocks if integrating into a larger test suite to prevent abrupt termination
• The print_json() function must be available in the scope; ensure it's defined or imported before calling this function
• Use a dedicated test path that won't interfere with production data
• Review and clean up any residual ACL entries if the test fails midway through execution
• The function performs destructive operations (creating folders, modifying ACLs), so use with caution in production environments
• Consider parameterizing test_user and test_group as function arguments for better reusability
• Monitor console output to verify each step completes successfully
