RundeckRun

READ FIRST

If you're new to RundeckRun and are interacting with newer versions of Rundeck (>=2.1.3), you should consider using the command line tools included with Rundeck (since at least Rundeck version 2.0.4). RundeckRun should work well for the Rundeck API up to version 11 (Rundeck <=2.1.3). It currently does not support Rundeck API versions greater than 11 for no other reason the project maintainer not having enough time to put into making the necessary changes. Pull requests welcome!

A client library written in Python to interact with the Rundeck API. It uses the awesome requests library.

Documentation is hosted on Read the Docs

DISCLAIMER: Test suite is not comprehensive, but most features have been tested and should work. Should work on at least Python 2.7 and Python 3.3.

Installation

Requires

• requests

$ pip install rundeckrun

Use

>>> from rundeck.client import Rundeck
>>> rd = Rundeck('rundeck.server.com', api_token='SECRET_API_TOKEN')
>>> rd.list_projects()
[{
    'description': None,
    'name': 'TestProject',
    'resources': {'providerURL': 'http://localhost:8000/resources.xml'},
}]
>>> rd.list_jobs('TestProject')
[{'description': 'Hello World!',
  'group': None,
  'id': 'a6e1e0f7-ad32-4b93-ba2c-9387be06a146',
  'name': 'HelloWorld',
  'project': 'TestProject'}]
>>> rd.run_job('a6e1e0f7-ad32-4b93-ba2c-9387be06a146', argString={'from':'RundeckRun'})
{'argstring': '-from RundeckRun',
 'date-started': datetime.datetime(2013, 7, 11, 18, 4, 24),
 'description': 'Plugin[localexec, nodeStep: true]',
 'href': 'http://rundeck.server.com/execution/follow/123',
 'id': '123',
 'job': None,
 'status': 'running',
 'user': 'rundeckrun'}

Running Tests

Note

You'll probably want to create a virtualenv for this.

Running the tests requires a running Rundeck server (the Rundeck standalone jar works well) and an API token for said Rundeck server.

You'll have to at least set the API token environment variable of RUNDECK_API_TOKEN but there are other environment variables to be aware of. The list is below and can be found at the head of the tests/__init__.py file. They should be fairly self-explanatory (OK, RUNDECK_PROTOCOL might not be self-explanatory... use either 'http' or 'https' there).

RUNDECK_API_TOKEN
RUNDECK_SERVER
RUNDECK_PORT
RUNDECK_PROTOCOL

Next clone the repo.

git clone https://github.com/marklap/rundeckrun

Note

activate your virtualenv

Then install the requirements and dev requirements.

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements_dev.txt

Lastly, execute nose tests.
