I am trying to develop a python script to run REST backup procedure as shown in http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TW/REST+API+Plugin#RESTAPIPlugin-DataBackup
here is my code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import urllib
import urllib2
"""
Data Backup
+++++++++++
Start backup: POST http://teamcity:8111/httpAuth/app/rest/
server/backup?includeConfigs=true&includeDatabase=true&
includeBuildLogs=true&fileName=<fileName>
where <fileName> is the prefix of the file to save backup to.
The file will be created in the default backup directory (see more).
"""
url = "http://localhost/httpAuth/app/rest/server/backup"
# === EDITED code = now working (see my answer below) ===
url = "http://localhost/httpAuth/app/rest/server/backup?includeConfigs=true&includeDatabase=true&
includeBuildLogs=true&fileName=TCBACKUP"
# === /EDITED code (see my answer below) ===
params = {
'fileName':'TCBACKUP',
'includeBuildLogs':'false',
'includeDatabase':'true',
'includeConfigs':'true'
}
post_data = urllib.urlencode(params)
req = urllib2.Request(url, post_data, headers={'Content-Type': 'application/xml'})
password_manager = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
password_manager.add_password(None, url, 'user', 'pass')
auth_manager = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(password_manager)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(auth_manager)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
handler = urllib2.urlopen(req)
handler.close()
cannot figure out why does it fail with
urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request
and REST logs show
WARN [hon-urllib/2.7 ] - est.jersey.ExceptionMapperUtil -
Error 'Invalid request. Please check the request URL and
data are correct.' for request http://server/app/rest/server/backup.
Sending Bad Request error in response: jetbrains.buildServer.server.rest.errors.BadRequestException:
No target file name specified.
No target file name? Really? Printing post_data gives me:
includeConfigs=true&includeDatabase=true&includeBuildLogs=false&fileName=TCBACKUP
any pointers would be greatly appreciated
Python code was good - the only thing that was not exactly clear from TC docs - the URL still has to be built as
"POST http://teamcity:8111/httpAuth/app/rest/server/backup?
includeConfigs=true&includeDatabase=true&includeBuildLogs=true&
fileName=backup"
even if urllib2 POST params are passed to Request.
oh well
