Hi everyone,
here's something I recently ran into while playing with openstacksdk against Magnum; I could use some help/feedback there if anyone's inclined. :)
It looks as though openstacksdk, which presently doesn't include get_coe_cluster_by_id() in cloud._coe[1], will effectively only ever list clusters and then filter client-side, as opposed to looking up individual clusters directly. That means that it only ever hits the Magnum API's /v1/clusters URL[2], which provides only limited properties on each cluster it returns.
Were it to implement get_coe_cluster_by_id(), then any Connection object that has use_direct_get set to True could hit /v1/clusters/<uuid> instead[3], which provides a much richer set of properties.
I have submitted a patch for this[4], but I have a couple of open questions:
(1) I'm not quite sure what's the proper way to test that get_coe_cluster() actually invokes get_coe_cluster_by_id() when passed a UUID. Normally I'd do that with unittest.mock's assert_called() method, but openstacksdk heavily wraps various mock.patch() calls so I'm sure there's a better, preferred way to do it for the openstacksdk codebase.
(2) Even if implementing get_coe_cluster_by_id() is the correct approach (which I am entirely not sure of), it still strikes me as a bit unintuitive that there are additional details that could be retrieved only if use_direct_get is set on the Connection object. I think having an explicit "get me more detail" toggle on the call would be preferable, which would hit /v1/clusters first (to retrieve the cluster UUID from the name), and then hit /v1/clusters/<uuid> to retrieve the rich set of properties. Now, the docstring for search_coe_clusters() mentions a "detail" parameter[5], but that appears to be a bit of a red herring as that method doesn't actually use that param. So I'm a bit stuck and unsure what to do there. :)
If anyone has thoughts on this they'd like to share, I'd be most grateful!
Cheers, Florian
