When output_for_cli was called directly, rather than for values
received through XML or JSON API, joining multiple values failed
on non-strings such as DN objects.
Convert output to strings before printing it out.
Previously the help plugin failed when searching for the docstring
when a topic's module was not found. This can happen when some server
plugins are loaded (e.g. for tests).
Use empty documentation when the topic is not found.
Extracted common code from ipalib/plugins/cli.py and
ipalib/plugins/dns.py that provided way to prompt user
for the value of specific attribute.
Added prompt_param method to Command class in ipalib/frontend.py
Done as part of https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3602
ipa <command> -h only showed the summary string, not the full help.
Use the full docstring. Add a custom help formatter that disables
optparse's reformatting.
Test included

The run() method of the show_mappings command was missing
the **options parameter in its signature, causing the
ipa show-mappings to fail with an internal error.
Some commands require a connection for interactive prompting.
Prompt after the connection is created.
Option parsing is still done before connecting so that help
can be printed out without a Kerberos ticket.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3453
Several Commands were missing the 'version' option. Add it to those
that were missing it.
Do not remove the version option before calling commands. This means
methods such as execute(), forward(), run() receive it.
Several of these needed `**options` added to their signatures.
Commands in the Cert plugin passed any unknown options to the underlying
functions, these are changed to pass what's needed explicitly.
Some commands in DNS and Batch plugins now pass version to commands
they call.
When the option is not given, fill it in automatically. (In a subsequent
commit, a warning will be added in this case).
Note that the public API did not change: all RPC calls already accepted
a version option. There's no need for an API version bump (even though
API.txt changes substantially).

This avoids the problem with ambiguous command/topic names.
No functionality is changed; `ipa help <COMMAND>` still works as before
if there's no topic with the same name.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3247
Make `ipa -h` and `ipa help` output the same message.
Since `ipa -h` output is generated by the OptionParser, we need to make
the parser available. Store it in `api.parser`.

Whenever a command is used incorrectly, it should output
an error message (and possibly additional help) to stderr.
This patch adds a parameter to a bunch of places to allow
selecting either stdout or stderr for help output, and makes
badly called commands output to stderr only.
Part of the effort for https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3060
Currently, we throw many public exceptions without proper i18n.
Wrap natural-language error messages in _() so they can be translated.
In the service plugin, raise NotFound errors using handle_not_found helper
so the error message contains the offending service.
Use ScriptError instead of NotFoundError in bindinstance install.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1953
Fix several problems with the callback interface:
- Automatically registered callbacks (i.e. methods named
exc_callback, pre_callback etc) were registered on every
instantiation.
Fix: Do not register callbacks in __init__; instead return the
method when asked for it.
- The calling code had to distinguish between bound methods and
plain functions by checking the 'im_self' attribute.
Fix: Always return the "default" callback as an unbound method.
Registered callbacks now always take the extra `self` argument,
whether they happen to be bound methods or not.
Calling code now always needs to pass the `self` argument.
- Did not work well with inheritance: due to the fact that Python
looks up missing attributes in superclasses, callbacks could
get attached to a superclass if it was instantiated early enough. *
Fix: Instead of attribute lookup, use a dictionary with class keys.
- The interface included the callback types, which are LDAP-specific.
Fix: Create generic register_callback and get_callback mehods,
move LDAP-specific code to BaseLDAPCommand
Update code that calls the callbacks.
Add tests.
Remove lint exceptions for CallbackInterface.

These test that command lines are parsed to correct Command arguments.
Includes some tests for interactive prompts.
To make this possible cli.run is broken up into several pieces.
Splitting on commas is not an idempotent operation:
'a,b\,c' -> ('a', 'b,c') -> ('a', 'b', 'c')
That means we can't do it when the call is forwarded, so this is only
done on the CLI. The UI already sends values as a tuple.
Replace escaping in the csv parser with quoting. Quoted strings can have
embedded commas instead of having to escape them. This prevents the csv
parser from eating all escape characters.
Also, document Param's csv arguments, and update tests.

We did not accept answers like "Yes", "YES", "No", etc. as valid
answers to yes/no prompts (used for example in dnsrecord-del
interactive mode). This could confuse users. This patch changes
the behavior to ignore the answer case.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2484
Add 2 new features to DNS record interactive help to increase its
usability and also make its behavior more consistent with standard
parameter interactive help:
1) Ask for missing DNS parts
When a required part of a newly added DNS record was missing, we
just returned a ValidationError. Now, the interactive help rather
asks for all missing required parts of all DNS records that were
being added by its parts.
2) Let user amend invalid part
When an interactive help asked for a DNS record part value and
user enters an invalid value, the entire interactive help exits
with an error. This may upset a user if he already entered several
correct DNS record part values. Now, the help rather tells user
what's wrong and give him an opportunity to amend the value.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2386
This patch adds a common method, textui.prompt_helper, that handles
encoding, decoding and error handling for interactive prompts.
On EOFError (Ctrl+D) or KeyboardInterrupt (Ctrl+C), it raises
a new InvocationError, PromptFailed.
The helper is used in prompt, prompt_yesno, and prompt_password,
each of which originally only handled one of Ctrl+C and Ctrl+D.
This fixes https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2345
And it means prompt_yesno will no longer return None on error.
A minor fix restores errors.py's ability print out the list of
errors when run as a script.
Fix wrong handling of strings in --setattr/--addattr/--delattr.
These changes make it possible to use Bytes in --setattr/--addattr/
--delattr without errors.
Fixes managing SSH keys on command-line
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/754
CLI command help contains a documentation for all options that can
be passed to commands. However, help strings for positional
arguments are not included.
This patch uses an OptionParser description field to list all
command arguments as OptionParser does not have a native support
to provide such information to user.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1974
Improve migration help topic so that it easier understandable:
- Add missing list of Topic commands
- Add one more example to demonstrate migration abilities
- Add breaks to too long lines to improve readibility
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2174
Complex commands may have many options or non-standard output. This
patch adds 2 improvements to handle these commands better:
1) Add "option_group" parameter attribute
Make command help more readable by specifying an option group
for the parameter. All parameters in the same option group are
then placed to one named option group
2) Allow nested entries in the output
Current CLI output module cannot handle a list of nested entries
(dictionaries) contained in an entry attribute. Make sure they
are printed properly (with indentation)
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2082
This patch changes the way plugins are initialized. Instead of
finalizing all the plugins at once, plugins are finalized only after
they are accessed (currently applies to Command, Object and
Attribute subclasses, only in CLI by default).
This change provides significant performance boost, as only the
plugins that are actually used are finalized.

Fixes 3 issues:
- If a topic has all its commands disabled, it should be disabled
- If a command is disabled its help should be disabled
- The show-mappings help was missing a doc string so no help was displayed
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1998
Add a new required parameter, current_password. In order to ask this
first I added a new parameter option, sortorder. The lower the value the
earlier it will be prompted for.
I also changed the way autofill works. It will attempt to get the default
and if it doesn't get anything will continue prompting interactively.
Since current_password is required I'm passing a magic value that
means changing someone else's password. We need to pass something
since current_password is required.
The python-ldap passwd command doesn't seem to use the old password at
all so I do a simple bind to validate it.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1808
In cli.py is a framework for printing out help information. The
command documentation being displayed is internationalized, however
the text generated by the help framework itself is not
internationalized.
The strings output by the help subsystem need to be internationalized.
* Wrap each topic description in _()
* Replace the use of if 'topic' in dir(module) with the more
Pythonic and efficient getattr(module, 'topic', None)
* Make sure to invoke unicode on the value returned from _()
otherwise you'll get a GettextFactory instance, not a string
* Clean up trailing whitespace errors
A Password param always prompted to confirm the entered password.
This doesn't make sense if you want to prompt for a password to another
system like we do with entitlements. This adds a new boolean option to
control the Password prompt parameter.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1695
Interactive mode for commands manipulating with DNS records
(dnsrecord-add, dnsrecord-del) is not usable. This patch enhances
the server framework with new callback for interactive mode, which
can be used by commands to inject their own interactive handling.
The callback is then used to improve aforementioned commands'
interactive mode.

Report missing python packages, inform about false positives, fail
gracefully if pylint isn't installed. Fixed a bug in the ignore
list and added few more files/directories to it.
ticket 1184
This patch replaces xgettext with a custom pygettext to generate
translatable strings from plugin files in ipalib/plugins. pygettext
was modified to handle plural forms (credit goes to Jan Hendrik Goellner)
and had some bugs fixed by myself. We only use it for plugins, because
it's the only place where we need to extract docstrings for the built-in
help system.
I also had to make some changes to the way the built-in documentation
systems gets docstrings from modules for this to work.
Since some LDAP attributes have their cli_name value defined,
so they can be more user friendly, it can be difficult for user to find
out which attributes do the parameteres given to CLI really represent.
This patch provides new command, which will take another IPA command as
and argument and display attributes which given command takes and what
LDAP attributes are they mapped to.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/447
Adds a plugin, entitle, to register to the entitlement server, consume
entitlements and to count and track them. It is also possible to
import an entitlement certificate (if for example the remote entitlement
server is unaviailable).
This uses the candlepin server from https://fedorahosted.org/candlepin/wiki
for entitlements.
Add a cron job to validate the entitlement status and syslog the results.
