function main_v42

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 and test parameters from the command line, then invokes the test_acl_functions with the provided credentials and path. This is designed to be called when the script is executed directly, providing a CLI interface for testing FileCloud ACL operations.

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

Returns None (implicitly). The function does not return any value; it executes the test suite and exits. Any results or errors are handled by the test_acl_functions that it calls.

Dependencies

  • argparse
  • FC_api

Required Imports

import argparse
from FC_api import FileCloudAPI

Usage Example

# Save the script as test_filecloud_acl.py
# Run from command line:
# python test_filecloud_acl.py --server https://filecloud.example.com --username admin --password secret123 --path /test_acl

# Or with short flags:
# python test_filecloud_acl.py -s https://filecloud.example.com -u admin -p secret123

# Using default path:
# python test_filecloud_acl.py -s https://filecloud.example.com -u admin -p secret123

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Best Practices

  • This function should only be called as the script's entry point, typically within an 'if __name__ == "__main__"' block
  • Passwords passed via command-line arguments may be visible in process lists; consider using environment variables or secure input methods for production use
  • Ensure the test_acl_functions function is properly defined before calling main()
  • The --path argument should point to a location where the user has appropriate permissions to create and modify ACLs
  • Handle keyboard interrupts (Ctrl+C) gracefully if adding to production code
  • Consider adding logging configuration before calling test_acl_functions for better debugging
