Source

-d "something" | --domain "something"

Test one or more domains, separated by spaces.

Note

This argument takes 1 or more values.

As example:

$ PyFunceble -d example.org example.net

Note

When this option is used, no output files are generated.

-url "something" | --url "something"

Test one or more full URL, separated by spaces.

Note

When we test the availability of a URL, we (only) check the HTTP status code of the given URL.

Note

This argument takes 1 or more values.

As example:

$ PyFunceble -u https://example.org https://example.com

-f "something" | --file "something"

Read a local or remote (RAW link) file and test all domains inside it. If remote (RAW link) file is given, PyFunceble will download it, and test the content of the given RAW link as if it was a locally stored file.

Note

The system understands the following format:

  • plain list of subjects.
  • hosts file format.

-uf "something" | --url-file "something"

Read a local or remote (RAW link) file and test all (full) URLs inside it. If remote (RAW link) file is given, PyFunceble will download it, and test the content of the given RAW link as if it was a locally stored file.

Note

We consider one line as one URL to test.

Note

This argument test if a URL which is inside the given file is available. It ONLY tests full URLs.

As example:

$ PyFunceble -uf `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/funilrys/PyFunceble/master/.travis/lists/url`

will download the given URL and test for its content assuming that each line represents a URL to test.

Warning

A test with this argument consists of the comparison of the status code. No WHOIS record will be requested nor DNS Lookup will be done.

Currently the branch need to exist, but there are being worked on a path to have PyFunceble to create the sub-branch and finally merge it into the --ci-distribution-branch

--ci-distribution-branch

Switch the branch name where we are going to push the final results.

Default value: master

Note

The difference between this and --ci-branch is the fact that this branch will get the (final) result only when the test is finished under the given --ci-branch.

As an example, this allows us to have 2 branches:

  • proceessing (CI branch), for the tests with PyFunceble.
  • master (CI distribution branch), for the distribution of the results of PyFunceble.

--cmd “something”

Pass a command before each commit (except the final one).

Default value: ''

Note

In this example, something should be a script or a program which have to be executed when we reached the end of the given file.

This argument is only used if --ci or ci: true (under .PyFunceble.yaml) are activated.

--cmd-before-end "something"

Pass a command before the results (final) commit under the CI mode.

Default value: ''

Note

In this example, something should be a script or a program which have to be executed when we reached the end of the given file.

Note

This argument is only used if --ci or ci: true (under .PyFunceble.yaml) are activated.

--commit-autosave-message "something"

Replace the default autosave commit message.

Default value: PyFunceble - AutoSave

This argument allows us to set a custom commit message which is going to be used as a commit message when saving.

Note

This argument is only used if --ci or ci: true (under .PyFunceble.yaml) are used.

Note

This argument is only used if we have to split the work into multiple processes because a list is too long or the timeout is reached.

Warning

Please avoid the usage of [ci skip] here.

--commit-results-message "something"

Replace the default results (final) commit message.

Default value: PyFunceble - Results

Note

This argument is only used if --ci or ci: true (under .PyFunceble.yaml) are used.

Note

This argument is only used if we reached the end of the list we are or have to test.

Unique actions

--clean

Clean all files under the output directory.

As it is sometimes needed to clean our output/ directory, this argument does the job automatically.

Warning

This argument delete everything which are .keep or .gitignore

--clean-all

Clean all files under the output directory along with all file generated by PyFunceble.

Warning

This deletes almost everything we generated without any warning.

Note

We don’t delete the whois database file/table because they are (almost) static data which are shared across launches in your environment.

Warning

If you plan to clean manually do not delete the whois database file or table as it will make your test finish under a much longer time as usual for you.

Warning

If you don’t combine this argument alongside with the --database-type argument or its configurable equivalent, this argument will only clean the JSON formatted databases.

--directory-structure

Generate the directory and files that are needed and which does not exist in the current directory.

Want to start without anything? This argument generates the output directory automatically for you!

Note

In case of a file or directory not found issue, it’s recommended to remove the dir_structure.json along with the output/ directory before using this argument.

From a GitLab CI/CD environment

As we offer an argument named --ci which will autosave in a GitLab CI/CI environment, this document try to describe hot it works!

Configuration

Personal Access Token

A personal access token is needed in order for PyFunceble to automatically push the results.

You should get a personal GitLab access token with the read_repository and write_repository scopes.

Once created and copied in a safe place, create a new masked variable named GL_TOKEN inside the CI/CD settings of your project. The value of the variable should be the newly generated personal access token.

Getting a GitHub token

For the secure index of the .travis.yml file, you have to generate a new GitHub token.

After you got your token, please write it or save it in a safe place as you’re going to need it every time you’re going to interact with Travis CI.

Note

The scope to set is public_repo but you can also set others depending on your needs.

Encrypting the token for future usage under the Travis CIs’ containers

To encrypt the token simply replace and execute the following according to your personal case.

$ travis encrypt 'GH_TOKEN=theGeneratedToken' -r 'The content of TRAVIS_REPO_SLUG' --add

Warning

Please do not execute the following explicitly without replacing theGeneratedToken with your previously generated GitHub token and The content of TRAVIS_REPO_SLUG with your repository slug.

Note

The usage of --add ensure that the travis program automatically add the secure index to the .travis.yml file.

Using the PyFunceble (Python) API

If you are working with a python script, module or even class, you can integrate PyFunceble to your main logic by importing it and using its API (cf: API Documentation).

This section will present some example of the way you can interact with PyFunceble from anything written in Python.

While using our API, you can request to see/get everything with the help of the complete=True argument.

You’ll then get the following dict as output.

{

    "_status_source": None, # If some extra rules are applied, this index will keep the source before the extra rules was applied.

    "whois_server": None, # The whois server we use to get the whois record (if found).
}

Set custom configuration index while getting the avaibility of domains, IPs or URL

While using PyFunceble, you might want to set or overwritte a default behaviour.

You can do that in 2 ways. Globally or locally.

Globally

To set globally simply initiate the configuration loader and parse your custom configuration along with the initialization.

As example, you can do it like follow:

# We import the configuration loader.
from PyFunceble import load_config

# We set our list of indexes to overwritte.
OUR_PYFUNCEBLE_CONFIG = {"share_logs":False, "no_files": True}

# We load our configuration and parse our custom indexes.
load_config(generate_directory_structure=False, custom=OUR_PYFUNCEBLE_CONFIG)

## We can then play with PyFunceble and/or other business logic ...

Locally

To set globally simply parse your configuration along with the test method.

As example, you can do it like follow:

# We import the test method.
from PyFunceble import test as AvailabilityTest

# We set our list of indexes to overwritte.
OUR_PYFUNCEBLE_CONFIG = {"share_logs":False, "no_files": True}

# We get the status and parse our configuration.
status = AvailabilityTest("hello.world", config=OUR_PYFUNCEBLE_CONFIG)

## We can then manipulate the status and/or other business logic ...
