function reset_filecloud_client

Maturity: 32

Resets the global FileCloud client connection by setting the global _filecloud_client variable to None, effectively clearing any existing connection state.

File:
/tf/active/vicechatdev/CDocs/controllers/filecloud_controller.py
Lines:
82 - 85
Complexity:
simple

Purpose

This function is used to reset or clear the FileCloud API client connection, typically needed when connection parameters change, authentication needs to be refreshed, or to force a new connection to be established. It's part of a singleton pattern where a global client instance is maintained and this function allows for its cleanup or reinitialization.

Source Code

def reset_filecloud_client():
    """Reset the FileCloud client connection."""
    global _filecloud_client
    _filecloud_client = None

Return Value

This function returns None (implicitly). It performs a side effect by modifying the global _filecloud_client variable.

Dependencies

  • CDocs.utils.FC_api

Required Imports

from CDocs.utils.FC_api import FileCloudAPI

Usage Example

# Assuming this function is in a module like CDocs.controllers.document_controller
# and _filecloud_client is a module-level global variable

# Import the function
from CDocs.controllers.document_controller import reset_filecloud_client

# Reset the FileCloud client connection
reset_filecloud_client()

# After calling this, the next operation requiring FileCloud
# will need to reinitialize the client connection
# Example scenario: after configuration changes
from CDocs.config import settings
settings.FILECLOUD_URL = 'https://new-filecloud-server.com'
reset_filecloud_client()  # Force reconnection with new settings

Best Practices

  • This function should be called when FileCloud connection parameters change or when you need to force a fresh connection
  • Be aware that this modifies global state, so use it carefully in multi-threaded environments
  • After calling this function, ensure that subsequent operations properly reinitialize the client before use
  • Consider calling this function during application shutdown or configuration reload scenarios
  • This is part of a lazy initialization pattern - the client will be recreated on next use
  • Do not call this function during active FileCloud operations as it will invalidate the current connection
