NAME

openqa-client - deprecated script for talking to an openQA server

SYNOPSIS

This script is deprecated, use openqa-cli instead

openqa-client [ OPTIONS ] PATH

OPTIONS

--host HOST

Connect to specified host, defaults to localhost

--params FILE

Load get/post parameters from a json file. For example

{
" FLAVOR" : "DVD",
" BUILD" : "42",
" ARCH" : "i586",
" DISTRI" : "opensuse",
" VERSION" : "26", }

--apibase

Set API base URL component, default: ’/api/v1’

--json-output

Output JSON instead of Perl structures.

--yaml-output

Output YAML instead of Perl structures.

accept (json|yaml)

Send Accept header to explicitly tell the API what format is accepted

Returning YAML is deprecated, and currently only one endpoint (job_templates_scheduling) is able to return YAML anyway.

By default, "Accept: */*" is sent.

--verbose, -v

Be verbose in output.

--apikey KEY, --apisecret SECRET

Specify api key and secret to use, overrides use of config file ˜/.config/openqa/client.conf

--json-data

Send JSON data; expected by certain routes

For example: jobs/639172 put --json-data ’{"group_id": 1}’

--form

Send form data (application/x-www-form-urlencoded) instead of appending supplied parameters as URL query; expected by certain routes

This is for instance used to post job templates, e.g.:

job_templates_scheduling/1 post --form schema=JobTemplates-01.yaml preview=0 template="$(cat foo.yaml)"

To create nested forms use dotted syntax, e.g.:

jobs/1/artefact post --form file.file=bar file.filename=bar.log

--help, -h

print help

Archive mode

--archive, -a DIRECTORY

Archive mode: Download assets and test results from a job to DIRECTORY.

--with-thumbnails

Archive mode: Include thumbnails

--asset-size-limit LIMIT

Archive mode: Download assets that do not exceed the specified limit in bytes The default limit is 200 MB.

SYNOPSIS

Interact with the openQA API by specified route entry points and optionally operations, defaults to the ’get’ operation, i.e. just reading out the data without changing it. See the help on the openQA instance you want to access for available API routes.

Common top level entry points: jobs, workers, isos.
client --host openqa.example.com jobs

List all jobs. Caution: this will take a very long time or even timeout on big productive instances.

client --host openqa.example.com jobs groupid=135 distri=caasp version=3.0
latest=1

List all jobs matching the specified search criteria.

client --host openqa.example.com jobs/overview groupid=135 distri=caasp
version=3.0

List the latest jobs for the latest build in the given scenario. In contrast to the route above, this will limit the results to the latest build in the same way the test result overview in the web UI does.

client --host openqa.example.com jobs/1

Show details of job nr. 1.

client --host openqa.example.com jobs/1 delete

Delete job nr. 1 (permissions read from config file).

client --host openqa.example.com isos post ISO=bar.iso DISTRI=my-distri
FLAVOR=my-flavor ARCH=my-arch VERSION=42 BUILD=1234

Trigger jobs on iso bar.iso matching test suite blah.

client --archive /path/to/directory --asset-size-limit 1048576000
--with-thumbnails --host openqa.opensuse.org jobs/42

Download all assets and test logs and images from job 42 with asset limit of 1GB to /path/to/directory.
