Make a CLI

[jetuk]

Probably using a click.

Some example commands.

hydra-cli network delete 5

hydra-cli project add "My Awesome Project"

hydra-cli project rename "My Awesome Project" "My Very Awesome Project"

hydra-cli user list

i would like to work on this issue

[dastamoghno]

however, i am still new to all this, so if you could suggest some resources to catch up i would love to learn

[jetuk]

@dastamoghno I am imagining a CLI using click: https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/7.x/
It would mostly provide convenient access to some of the library functions in hydra-base: https://github.com/hydraplatform/hydra-base

A similar CLI using click and this library has been written for hydra-pywr. See the cli.py module: https://github.com/pywr/hydra-pywr

This CLI would be more general though.

Perhaps an easy one to start with would be to list all the projects? I would expect it to work something like this.

$ hydra-cli project list
  [1] - "project A"
  [2] - "my other project"
  [5] - "another project"

Where [x] is the project ID.

[dastamoghno]

ok, so which projects need to be included in the list as of now?

[jetuk]

The new programme hydra-cli needs to inspect the database using the hydra-base library to produce a list of the current projects in the database.

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-xYByle/mysqlclient/
I get the following error while trying to install hydra-base. What do i do about it?

Take a look at the example code here:
https://github.com/hydraplatform/hydra-client-python/tree/master/examples

You'll need to have installed hydra_base first, using python setup.py develop from here:
https://github.com/hydraplatform/hydra-base

The basic workflow to my mind is:
A user logs in

hydra-cli connect

Underneath it's doing hydra_client.login()

Then the user requests his networks:

hydra-cli project list

Underneath it's doing: hydra_client.get_projects()

Just getting that far would be super awesome.

[knoxsp]

why not try python setup.py develop?
My guess is that there is some kind of inconsitency in the egg, as the mysqlclient library is a recent addition.

[dastamoghno]

I installed hydra-base in my virtual environment and then created a launcher file setup.py for my cli, but then renamed it to setup_cli.py, and now there exists no such file as setup.py
I'm sorry for asking such noobie questions, but I am kind of stuck, in spite of trying really hard. Please help

[dastamoghno]

Can i please get the link to the login function in hydra-client? I am having problems in understanding the parameters to send to the function

[knoxsp]

The login function you want is located in here:
https://github.com/hydraplatform/hydra-client-python/blob/master/hydra_client/connection/json_connection.py

You don't need to pass any arguments to it. It should prompt you for a username and password when you call the function and don't pass in arguments.

[dastamoghno]

I am sorry, but I dont understand the code too well. As i said i am just a beginner getting exposed to the command line, hence facing lots of issues and i dont even know how to describe them

[jetuk]

I think it defaults to username root with an empty password.

[dastamoghno]

I am unable to setup the cli script

OK, no problem. Thanks for looking in to it.
