🔍 Code Extractor

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

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. Returns a boolean indicating success or failure, with console output for debugging purposes.

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 console indicating success or failure details.

Dependencies

• sharepoint_client
• 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

from config import Config

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'

# Call the function to test connection
result = test_sharepoint_connection()

if result:
    print("Connection test passed, proceed with SharePoint operations")
else:
    print("Connection test failed, check credentials and configuration")

Best Practices

• Ensure the Config module is properly configured with valid SharePoint site URL and Azure credentials before calling this function
• This function is intended for testing/diagnostic purposes and should be used during setup or troubleshooting
• The function prints output directly to console, so it's best suited for command-line or debugging scenarios rather than production code
• Handle the boolean return value to determine if subsequent SharePoint operations should proceed
• The function catches all exceptions broadly, so check console output for specific error details when connection fails
• Ensure the SharePointClient class is properly implemented and compatible with the provided credentials
