Hammer CLI 0.1.0 is now available.
(hammer_cli and hammer_cli_foreman gems are at Rubygems.org, RPMs are in
nightly repo, DEBs will follow)
There is a lot of new features and fixes In this major release.
New configuration *
···
------------------------------ We moved configuration to new locations ‘/etc/hammer/’, ‘$HOME/.hammer/’. This way it is easier to separate client data from foreman server configuration. Modules have separate configuration files in ‘/etc/hammer/cli.modules.d’ or ‘$HOME/.hammer/cli.modules.d’ subdirectories. This buy us easier installation and maintenance of configs of modules.For more information see the documentation [1]
*) We will keep hammer compatible with older format for a couple of
versions, just please do not mix both
New API bindings layer
New API bindings library [2] is used to abstract communication between
the client and the API. It will bring us easier adding of commands that
are using API provided by Foreman plugins. It should be also more
flexible in adapting to changes in the API.
Small drawback is that the new bindings require apipie cache to be
available on the server. If you are getting “Could not load API
description from the server” error from your CLI, generate the cache
with “foreman-rake apipie:cache” on the server. Foreman 1.5 and later
will generate cache automatically during installation.
Unified naming of commands
Based on poll on the list we changed naming conventions for the
commands. If the command name consists of more then one words, they
should be dash-delimited, i.e. ‘partition_table’ is now
‘partition-table’. This convention is preferred by other CLI tools (e.g.
Git) and is currently consistent through the available plugins.
Internationalization
Almost all the strings in Hammer are now ready for localization. If you
are interested in helping us translating hammer, please join us on
