2016-03-04qmp-shell: fix pretty printing of JSON responsesDaniel P. Berrange1-13/+10
Pretty printing of JSON responses is important to be able to understand large responses from query commands in particular. Unfortunately this was broken during the addition of the verbose flag in commit 1ceca07e48ead0dd2e41576c81d40e6a91cafefd Author: John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com> Date: Wed Apr 29 15:14:04 2015 -0400 scripts: qmp-shell: Add verbose flag This is because that change turned the python data structure into a formatted JSON string before the pretty print was given it. So we're just pretty printing a string, which is a no-op. The original pretty printer would output python objects. (QEMU) query-chardev { u'return': [ { u'filename': u'vc', u'frontend-open': False, u'label': u'parallel0'}, { u'filename': u'vc', u'frontend-open': True, u'label': u'serial0'}, { u'filename': u'unix:/tmp/qemp,server', u'frontend-open': True, u'label': u'compat_monitor0'}]} This fixes the problem by switching to outputting pretty formatted JSON text instead. This has the added benefit that the pretty printed output is now valid JSON text. Due to the way the verbose flag was handled, the pretty printing now applies to the command sent, as well as its response: (QEMU) query-chardev { "execute": "query-chardev", "arguments": {} } { "return": [ { "frontend-open": false, "label": "parallel0", "filename": "vc" }, { "frontend-open": true, "label": "serial0", "filename": "vc" }, { "frontend-open": true, "label": "compat_monitor0", "filename": "unix:/tmp/qmp,server" } ] } Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2015-05-11scripts: qmp-shell: Add verbose flagJohn Snow1-6/+18
Add a verbose flag that shows the QMP command that was constructed, to allow for later copy/pasting, reference, debugging, etc. The QMP is converted from a Python literal to JSON first, to ensure that it is viable input to the actual QMP parser. As a side-effect, this JSON output will helpfully show all the necessary conversions that were performed on the input, illustrating that "True" was transformed back into "true", literal values are now escaped with "" instead of '', and so on.

2015-05-11scripts: qmp-shell: add transaction subshellJohn Snow1-1/+41
Add a special processing mode to craft transactions. By entering "transaction(" the shell will enter a special mode where each subsequent command will be saved as a transaction instead of executed as an individual command. The transaction can be submitted by entering ")" on a line by itself. Examples: Separate lines: (QEMU) transaction( TRANS> block-dirty-bitmap-add node=drive0 name=bitmap1 TRANS> block-dirty-bitmap-clear node=drive0 name=bitmap0 TRANS> ) With a transaction action included on the first line: (QEMU) transaction( block-dirty-bitmap-add node=drive0 name=bitmap2 TRANS> block-dirty-bitmap-add node=drive0 name=bitmap3 TRANS> ) As a one-liner, with just one transaction action: (QEMU) transaction( block-dirty-bitmap-add node=drive0 name=bitmap0 ) As a side-effect of this patch, blank lines are now parsed as no-ops, regardless of which shell mode you are in.

2015-05-11scripts: qmp-shell: Expand support for QMP expressionsJohn Snow1-16/+47
This includes support for [] expressions, single-quotes in QMP expressions (which is not strictly a part of JSON), and the ability to use "True", "False" and "None" literals instead of JSON's equivalent true, false, and null literals. qmp-shell currently allows you to describe values as JSON expressions: key={"key":{"key2":"val"}} But it does not currently support arrays, which are needed for serializing and deserializing transactions: key=[{"type":"drive-backup","data":{...}}] qmp-shell also only currently accepts doubly quoted strings as-per JSON spec, but QMP allows single quotes. Lastly, python allows you to utilize "True" or "False" as boolean literals, but JSON expects "true" or "false". Expand qmp-shell to allow the user to type either, converting to the correct type. As a consequence of the above, the key=val parsing is also improved to give better error messages if a key=val token is not provided. CAVEAT: The parser is still extremely rudimentary and does not expect to find spaces in {} nor [] expressions. This patch does not improve this functionality.

2014-02-17QMP: allow JSON dict arguments in qmp-shellStefan Hajnoczi1-0/+3
qmp-shell hides the QMP wire protocol JSON encoding from the user. Most of the time this is helpful and makes the command-line human-friendly. Some QMP commands take a dict as an argument. In order to express this we need to revert back to JSON notation. This patch allows JSON dict arguments in qmp-shell so commands like blockdev-add and nbd-server-start can be invoked: (QEMU) blockdev-add options={"driver":"file","id":"drive1",...} Note that spaces are not allowed since str.split() is used to break up the command-line arguments first.
