Hammer is a command line interface (CLI) framework which provides a core to which modules may be added. This module, hammer-cli-csv, adds commands to interact with the following products: Foreman standalone, Katello, Red Hat's Satellite-6, and Red Hat's Subscription Asset Manager (SAM).
The purpose of this module's commands are to allow a convenient mechanism to both export to and import from CSV files (comma separated values). Each of the server's supported resource types, such as organizations and users, is handled.
Some possible uses include
- Import demo or development data easily and consistently
- Export another server's data and then import into elsewhere for testing and debug
- Export for backup and auditing
The following sections will cover installation, usage, and examples. All of the resource types are follow in the order which generally is required for dependency resolution (eg. roles must exist to assign to users so the role section comes first).
gem install hammer_cli_csv
gem install hammer_cli_katello
mkdir -p ~/.hammer/cli.modules.d/
cat <<EOQ > ~/.hammer/cli.modules.d/csv.yml
:csv:
:enable_module: true

# to confirm things work, this should return useful output
hammer csv --help
Supported commands and options are available by using the --help option. Additional subcommands and options may be listed here but are considered "tech preview" to indicate the lack of testing and official support.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| --export | If not specified will run import. |
| --file FILE_NAME | File to import from or export to. If not specified reads or writes to/from stdin and stdout. Note: On ruby-1.8.7 this option is required. |
| --prefix PREFIX | Convenience method to add a prefix to all Count substituted values. See examples below. |
| --server SERVER | The server to run against. Overrides any config file value. |
| --username USERNAME | Username for server. Overrides any config file value. |
| --password PASSWORD | Password for user. Overrides any config file value. |
| --verbose | Display verbose progress information during import. |
| --continue-on-error | Continue processing even if individual resource error |
Some columns of input data have a special syntax available termed "Count substitution" below.
This hammer module started out as a way to generate large amounts of test data. As such, it was convenient to be able to add a single row to an input CSV file and have it generate multiple records.
Take this Organization CSV as an example:
Name, Count, Label, Description
# Start a row with a # to indicate a comment, a row to be skipped
Organization %d, 4, testorg%d, A test organization
The single row, with a Count value of four, would generate four organizations ("Organization 0", "Organization 1", "Organization 2", and "Organization 3"). Notice that the Label column, which must be unique, also has the Count column substition.
During export, the Count column will always be one (1).

CSV Columns
Note: % column indicates Count substituion
| Column Title | Column Description | % |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Name of the organization to update or create | x |
| Count | Number of times to iterate this CSV row during import, incrementing value for substitution | |
| Label | Unique organization label | x |
| Description | Organization description |
Examples
Here is an example of a CSV file to create an organization
Name, Count, Label, Description
# Start a row with a # to indicate a comment, a row to be skipped
Mega Corporation, 1, megacorp, The number one mega company in the world!
If above is saved to a file such as megacorp/organizations.csv the following command will run import to create or update the organization.
$ hammer csv organizations --version --csv-file megacorp/organizations.csv
Updating organization 'Mega Corporation'... done
$ hammer csv organizations --csv-export
"Name","Count","Label","Description"
"Mega Corporation","1","megacorp","The number one mega company in the world!"
# Import but prefix all substitution columns with a string
$ hammer csv organizations --verbose --csv-file test/data/organizations.csv --prefix xyz
Creating organization 'xyzMega Corporation'... done
# Export and pipe to import with a new prefix
$ hammer csv organizations --csv-export | hammer csv organizations --verbose --csv-file test/data/organizations.csv --prefix abc
Creating organization 'abcMega Corporation'... done

Import will only process rows with a Name of "Manifest" and trigger a manifest import to run on the specified Manifest File. Subscription rows are not be processed.
Export will output a summary of the subscriptions currently imported into the organizations. These rows will have a description in the Name column as a comment (value starting with a #). For example,
Name,Organization,Manifest File,Subscription Name,Quantity,Product SKU,Contract Number,Account Number

% hammer csv import -v --dir test/data --settings

Updating setting 'idle_timeout'...done
rubocop -R <file>
To run all tests using recorded data, run:
rake test mode=none
To run all tests to record data:
rake test mode=all
To run a single test using recorded data, run:
rake test mode=none test=resources/settings
or
rake test mode=none test=./test/resources/settings_test.rb
To run tests against your live Katello without recording a new cassette set record flag to false (does not apply to mode=none):
record=false
To see RestClient logs while testing:
logging=true
Test server configuration is taken from 'test/config.yml'. If that file does not exist then https://localhost with admin / changeme is the default.
% cat test/config.yml
:foreman:
:enable_module: true
:host: 'http://katello:3000'
:username: 'admin'
:password: 'changeme'
:katello:
:enable_module: true
:csv:
:enable_module: true
Note: Since the subscriptions tests rely entirely on having a Red Hat manifest, re-recording these tests is more involved. It requires access to the internal "stage" customer portal and API. To run in recording mode, specify PORTALUSERNAME and PORTALPASSWORD env variables.
PORTALUSERNAME=thomasmckay PORTALPASSWORD=xyz123 rake test mode=all record=true
