How can I pass string slices into Kingpin? - go

Here's the minimal example:
import "gopkg.in/alecthomas/kingpin.v2"
...
fooCodes = kingpin.Flag("foo_codes", "List of codes").Default().Strings()
and I tried passing --foo_codes=AA,BB,CC that didn't work unfortunately so I had to use
--foo_codes=AA
--foo_codes=BB
--foo_codes=CC
instead as a workaround (I'm passing those args in a yaml file. Is there a better option that I can configure via kingpin?

I guess you can use HintOptions or HintAction, for more details see these examples: https://github.com/alecthomas/kingpin/blob/master/_examples/completion/main.go

inspec - i want to output structured data to be parsed by another function

I have a inspec test, this is great:
inspec exec scratchpad/profiles/forum_profile --reporter yaml
Trouble is I want to run this in a script and output this to an array
I cannot find the documentation that indicated what method i need to use to simulate the same
I do this
def my_func
http_checker = Inspec::Runner.new()
http_checker.add_target('scratchpad/profiles/forum_profile')
http_checker.run
puts http_checker.report
So the report method seems to give me load of the equivalent type and much more - does anyone have any documentation or advice on returning the same output as the --reporter yaml type response but in a script? I want to parse the response so I can share output with another function
I've never touched inspec, so take the following with a grain of salt, but according to https://github.com/inspec/inspec/blob/master/lib/inspec/runner.rb#L140, you can provide reporter option while instantiating the runner. Looking at https://github.com/inspec/inspec/blob/master/lib/inspec/reporters.rb#L11 I think it should be smth. like ["yaml", {}]. So, could you please try
# ...
http_checker = Inspec::Runner.new(reporter: ["yaml", {}])
# ...
(chances are it will give you the desired output)

Is There a tutorial how to suppress Pylint warnings for Squish?

I am trying to suppress Pylint warnings from Squish, but not have same code written in front of the code like is described here: https://kb.froglogic.com/display/KB/Example+-+Using+PyLint+with+Squish+test+scripts+that+use+source%28%29
I would like to know if is a file that I can configure and uploaded into Squish
The article describes the only option, to define the Squish functions and symbols yourself.
However, it is showing what to do in a single file Squish test script file only for sake of simplicity.
You should of course put those Squish function definitions in a separate, re-usable file, and use import to "load" the definitions into your test.py file:
from squish_definitions import *
def main():
...
in squish_definitions.py:
# Trick Pylint and Python IDEs into accepting the
# definitions in this block, whereas upon execution
# none of these definitions will take place:
if -0:
class ApplicationContext:
pass
def startApplication(aut_path_or_name, optional_squishserver_host, optional_squishserver_port):
return ApplicationContext
# etc.
Also, you should generally switch over to using Python's import in favor of Squish's source() function.

Getting a list of named pipes on Windows using win32api?

You could get your users to install the pipelist utility, and then process the output of:
subprocess.check_output("pipelist", universal_newlines=True)
Using C#, one can also do something like this:
String[] listOfPipes = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(#"\\.\pipe\");
Is there a way to replicate this C# solution using pywin32/win32api?
As noted in comment
import os
arr = os.listdir('\\\\.\\pipe')
print (arr)

Julia: Having a function f() containing the macro #printf, how can I access the output outside f()?

In the Julia NMF package a verbose option provides information on convergence using the #printf macro.
How can I access this output without rewriting the NMF package io?
To rephrase, having a function f() containing the macro #printf, how can I access the output outside f()?
This does seem like useful functionality to have: I would suggest that you file an issue with the package.
However, as a quick hack, something like the following should work:
oldout = STDOUT
(rd,wr) = redirect_stdout()
start_reading(rd)
# call your function here
flush_cstdio()
redirect_stdout(oldout)
close(wr)
s = readall(rd)
close(rd)
s

go test flag: flag provided but not defined

Hi I am using a flag when testing in go:
file_test.go
var ip = flag.String("ip", "noip", "test")
I am only using this in one test file. And it works fine when only testing that one test file, but when I run:
go test ./... -ip 127.0.0.1 alle of the other test file saying: flag provided but not defined.
Have you seen this?
Regards
flag.Parse() is being called before your flag is defined.
You have to make sure that all flag definitions happen before calling flag.Parse(), usually by defining all flags inside init() functions.
If you've migrated to golang 13, it changed the order of the test initializer,
so it could lead to something like
flag provided but not defined: -test.timeout
as a possible workaround, you can use
var _ = func() bool {
testing.Init()
return true
}()
that would call test initialization before the application one. More info can be found on the original thread:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/31859#issuecomment-489889428
do not call flag.Parse() in any init()
I'm very late to the party; but is this broken (again) on Go 1.19.5?
I hit the same errors reported on this thread and the same solution reported above (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/31859#issuecomment-489889428) fixes it.
I see a call to flags.Parse() was added back in go_test.go in v1.18
https://go.googlesource.com/go/+/f7248f05946c1804b5519d0b3eb0db054dc9c5d6%5E%21/src/cmd/go/go_test.go
I am only just learning Go so it'd be nice to have some verification from people more skilled before I report this elsewhere.
If you get this, when running command via docker-compose then you do incorrect quoting. Eg.
services:
app:
...
image: kumina/openvpn-exporter:latest
command: [
"--openvpn.status_paths", "/etc/openvpn_exporter/openvpn-status.log",
"--openvpn.status_paths /etc/openvpn_exporter/openvpn-status.log",
]
First is correct, second is wrong, because whole line counted as one parameter. You need to split them by passing two separate strings, like in first line.
