gsimporter is a python library for using GeoServer's importer API.

pip install gsconfig

or

git clone https://github.com/boundlessgeo/gsimporter.git cd gsimporter pip install .

Please use the Github project at http://github.com/boundlessgeo/gsimporter for any bug reports (and pull requests are welcome, but please include tests where possible.)

The tests are integration tests. These require having a running GeoServer instance with the community/importer modules installed. Because some of the tests use a postgres database, a data base is required to run. It is strongly advised to run with a data directory you don't care about.

The test suite will first attempt to verify a connection to GeoServer and a connection to the database. If the default values are not appropriate, provide them via environment variables on the command line or via export. For example:

GEOSERVER_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080 python setup.py test

A convenient way to deal with connection or other settings (besides setting things up to use the defaults) is to put them all in a bash (or other shell) script.

The tests are designed to create a workspace named importer and importer2 for use in testing. importer will be set to the default workspace. As much as possible, things are cleaned up after test execution.

To run all of the tests, one way is via setup.py. python setup.py test should do the trick.

If developing and finer grained control is desired, specific tests and other flags can be provided using python test/uploadtests.py. Supported arguments are:

• --clean delete layers and stores in the test workspaces. useful for cleanup.
• --skip-teardown don't delete things after running. may cause errors but useful for a single test.

To run a single case (or drop the method name to run the whole class):

python test/uploadtests.py ErrorTests.test_invalid_file
