function test_o365_connection
Tests the connection to Microsoft Office 365 (O365) by attempting to obtain an authentication token through the O365Client.

Purpose
This function serves as a diagnostic utility to verify that the O365 authentication and connection setup is working correctly. It instantiates an O365Client, attempts to retrieve an authentication token, and provides user-friendly console feedback about the connection status. This is typically used during setup, troubleshooting, or as part of a health check routine to ensure O365 integration is properly configured before attempting email operations.
Source Code
def test_o365_connection():
"""Test O365 connection."""
print("Testing O365 connection...")
try:
client = O365Client()
token = client.get_token()
if token:
print("✓ Successfully obtained O365 token")
return True
else:
print("✗ Failed to obtain O365 token")
return False
except Exception as e:
print(f"✗ O365 connection error: {e}")
return False
Return Value
Returns a boolean value: True if the O365 token was successfully obtained (indicating a working connection), False if token retrieval failed or an exception occurred during the connection attempt.
Dependencies
configutils.loggerforwarder.o365_client
Required Imports
from forwarder.o365_client import O365Client
Usage Example
# Test O365 connection
from forwarder.o365_client import O365Client
def test_o365_connection():
"""Test O365 connection."""
print("Testing O365 connection...")
try:
client = O365Client()
token = client.get_token()
if token:
print("✓ Successfully obtained O365 token")
return True
else:
print("✗ Failed to obtain O365 token")
return False
except Exception as e:
print(f"✗ O365 connection error: {e}")
return False
# Run the test
if __name__ == "__main__":
success = test_o365_connection()
if success:
print("O365 is ready to use")
else:
print("Please check O365 configuration")
Best Practices
- Run this function during application startup or as part of a health check to verify O365 connectivity before attempting email operations
- Ensure O365 credentials are properly configured in the settings/config before calling this function
- The function prints status messages to console, so it's best suited for CLI tools or diagnostic scripts rather than production APIs
- Consider wrapping this in a try-except block if using in automated testing to handle unexpected failures gracefully
- The function catches all exceptions broadly - in production code, you may want to handle specific exception types differently
- This is a synchronous function - if O365Client.get_token() is slow, it will block execution
