Is there any method supported at GoodData::Model::ProjectBlueprint to generate itself into JSON project dataset manifest file to some directory?

In order to avoid imperfect human manual definition I would like to know how to generate a json datasets manifest file from active GoodData project for Ruby automation?

I thought there might be some command line to achieve this like by inputting project.blueprint.~ or GoodData::Model::ProjectBlueprint on console like windows command prompt, or, find MAQL from CloudConnect LDM modeler's MAQL tab, or, from project web console such as next location;

Solution

There's currently a bug when trying to get the manifest in the way it is defined in http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/gooddata/GoodData/Model/ToManifest But I can give you a workaround to get it till they fix it and update our gem:

require 'gooddata'
require 'pp'

module GoodData
    module Model
        module ToManifest
        def self.dataset_to_manifest(project, dataset, mode = 'FULL')
            dataset = dataset.is_a?(String) ?  Model::ProjectBlueprint.find_dataset(project, dataset) : dataset
            dataset = dataset.to_hash
            all_datasets = Model::ProjectBlueprint.datasets(project)
            tm = to_manifest(project, mode)
            datasets = all_datasets.zip(tm)
            res = datasets.find do |ds|
            ds.first[:title] == dataset['dataSet']['meta']['title']
        end
        res[1]
        end
    end
end
end


GoodData.logging_on
client = GoodData.connect '[email protected]', 'password'

project = client.projects('project_id')
dataset =project.datasets('/gdc/md/projectid/obj/dataset_id')

res = GoodData::Model::ToManifest.dataset_to_manifest(project.blueprint, dataset)

pp res

This will allow you to get your manifest with no errors.
