Dear team,

I am downloading cli using powershell.

After installing in non default dirs - On my mac I used /usr/local/lib/oracle-cli and /usr/local/bin - I got the following error when running oci command:

Traceback (most recent call last):

solved installing oci_cli manually

pip3 install oci_cli

The man pages indicate that this option is supported:

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an exam-
ple of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this exam-
ple in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via
the file:// syntax.

When attempting to run the command the output is:

oci ce cluster create --generate-param-json-input options
Option options is not a recognized complex type, so no example JSON can be produced. Invoke help for this command (--help/-h/-?) to see available documentation on this option

When running install.sh with option --accept-all-defaults on a system which as a previous installation of the oci cli in the default location, the installer enters an infinite loop in function get_install_dir. The issue appears to be on line 182 which reads:

  ans_yes = prompt_y_n('Remove this directory', 'n')

and should probably read:

  ans_yes = True if ACCEPT_ALL_DEFAULTS else prompt_y_n('Remove this directory', 'n')

without this change, the variable install_dir is reset to None and the encompassing while loop repeats.

Issue

The bmcs compute image export takes in a --destination-type switch which says where to place the exported image; the value passed in as a parameter is a JSON string and can identify either an Object Storage URI or a Object Storage tuple of (namespace, bucket name, object name)

Currently this CLI command fails to export an image using either the URI or tuple, even though the JSON string is formatted properly as per the CLI help documentation, and an Invalid Parameter error is passed back.

Repro Steps

Example command (with dummy Image ID and Destination URI):

bmcs compute image export --image-id "ocid1.image.oc1.phx....." \
--destination-type ' { "destinationUri": "https://objectstorage.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/....", "destinationType": "objectStorageUri" }'

I can't find a method via the cli to query to the VCN resolver DNs data for ocids that begin
ocid1.vcndnsrecord...

Is there a new method coming out to handle this
I assume it will mean being able to access dbaas vnic and VCN private Ip records

Ernie

Issue: Lines 76 and 77 fail for $PythonExecutable value containing non-alphanumeric characters like ), ( etc..

Solution that worked for me:

Lines 76 and 77 to be changed to :

  $EscapedExecutable = $PythonExecutable 
  $PythonVersion = Invoke-Expression "& `"$EscapedExecutable`" -c 'import platform;print(platform.python_version())'"

Explanation:
Instead of trying to escape just spaces (like the current logic), make powershell to call/invoke (using & ) a not-escaped value as is by enclosing it in between .

I forked the install.ps1 with my fix included for your review-and-merge-easiness.

Since a tenant OCID is a valid --compartment-id value, it would be great if I didn't have to specify it again (it already lives in my config file) for cases when I'm using the root compartment.

Even if the desire is to encourage users to compartmentalize, a shortcut like --compartment-id=ROOT could save copy-pasting, rekeying errors, etc while still encouraging the use of the --compartment-id flag.

I have properly seted up OCI at my instance and trying to access buckets/objects from command line but getting NotAuthenticatederror:

#oci os object list -ns *******-bn ************
ServiceError:
{
"code": "NotAuthenticated",
"message": "The required information to complete authentication was not provided.",
"opc-request-id": "651A4773BFD745919585A7FC2E4CBC00",
"status": 401
}

Sort of continuation to #47.

My understanding is that right now optional default values go into .oci/oci_cli_rc while high-level profile settings (user, tenancy, fingerprint, key_file, region) go into .oci/config.

While it would be easier if all settings lived under one roof, with the current layout of two separate config files, would there be an easy way to support nested profiles?

For example, let's say that I have a tenancy T with 2 compartments A and B. Right now, I need to create 2 identical profiles in .oci/config for the auth settings, and then 2 profiles in .oci/oci_cli_rc with the corresponding compartment-id.

Ideally, I would want to have the auth settings defined within [T] in .oci/config, which also defines two child profiles [A] and [B] (let's say with a new import keyword referencing the T profile). Alternatively, instead of nested profiles it would be nice if multiple profiles could be created with the same settings in .oci/config (e.g. [A] [B])

Would any of these approaches be possible to implement?

I wanted my config and key files to live in the directory where I created my virtualenv, instead of in ~/.oci (so that I could experiment in a directory instead of writing more global state). When asked for my key directory I typed . for the current directory. Now when I run oci form a different directory I get configuration failures and my commands don't work, eg: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './iad_key.pem'

It would be great for the setup process to always expand the full path of the key file when it writes the config setting.

When running the CLI to pull DB versions, it does not pull the same list as is provided on the console.

oci db version list --output table --all --compartment-id --region

one more question:
I saw there is a parameter '--ssh-authorized-keys-file' which is different than the service spec, is it expected?

I see that MANIFEST.in has CHANGELOG.md instead of CHANGELOG.rst, which may be the root cause?

Right now Email Delivery service 'sender' and 'suppression' operations are available in the CLI (under oci email) but SMTP credential operations are not. The workaround is currently to use either the console or one of the SDKs to manage SMTP credentials. We plan to add this in our next CLI release.

My usage of the oci os object bulk-upload here at the oracle data cloud involves uploading 1.3TB of files each day. If for some reason there are errors when doing that, it would be nice to have a new mode in addition to --no-overwrite and --overwrite that checked file md5sums before uploading, and only overwrites if the sums don't match.

I know md5sums are stored on upload, so it seems like a feature that would be fairly easily supported.

I am aware that the json returned by the command returns the failed uploads. It would certainly be possible to parse that json and just overwrite those files with some more more external commands. Another option could be having the bulk-upload function add a retry functionality (during uploading, or accepting the json output from the "upload-failures": { in the json.)

Thanks for your consideration.

When trying to list compartments, I get an error that compartment needs to be specified. Am I using this incorrectly? Thanks

λ oci --version
2.4.13
λ oci iam compartment list
Usage: oci iam compartment list [OPTIONS]

Error: Missing option(s) --compartment-id.

TLDR; oci iam compartment list requires compartment id - this is very confusing.

Env:

$ oci -v
2.4.17
$ python --version
Python 2.7.14

Description:

Compartment id is required to list compartments:

$ oci iam compartment list
Usage: oci iam compartment list [OPTIONS]

Error: Missing option(s) --compartment-id.

While the option is documented to be actually tenant OCID, it is very confusing and inconsistent with the rest of the cli:

$ oci iam compartment --help
...
    --compartment-id, -c [text]
        The OCID of the tenancy containing the compartment. [required]
...

# Inconsistent with:
$ oci network vcn --help
...
    --compartment-id, -c [text]
        The OCID of the compartment to contain the VCN. [required]
...

$ oci compute instance --help
...
   --compartment-id, -c [text]
       The OCID of the instance's compartment. [required]
... 

$ oci os bucket --help
...
    --compartment-id, -c [text]
        The ID of the compartment in which to create the bucket. [required]
...

If I understand it correctly, compartments can be nested so it actually makes sense to have this option. Perhaps default value with tenancy OCID specified in config file could fix this.

Expected result:
List of compartments in tenancy is shown

In case this is helpful for someone, I made a Homebrew formula to help with installing the cli on MacOS:

But on Fedora 26:

$ bmcs os object put -ns $ns -bn $bucket --name test --file - <<<data
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '<stdin>'

It would be nice if the profile (--profile) could be specified via environment variable

by making this simple change to oci_cli/cli_root.py simply setting OCI_PROFILE will make that happen

Since the web console uses the fingerprint to identify keypairs, it would be nice to have it echoed after a key is created, with the instructions on uploading a key.

I know it is in the config file, but if the CLI is coaching users on how to upload a keypair, it should also give them the validation information.

It'd be really nice if we could configure the compartment id in the config as part of the profile since OCIDs aren't something that you can easily just type out on demand. It'll greatly increase the usability of the client.

On Fedora 26, running pip install oraclebmc-cli in a fresh virtualenv produces a build failure in the cryptography package. bmcs-cli's setup.py depends on cryptography==1.8.1, but cryptography < 1.8.2 will not build with OpenSSL ≥ 1.1.0f (pyca/cryptography#3603). If I install oraclebmc-cli from a Git checkout that has the version pins removed from setup.py, the package installs and works properly.

Please consider dropping the version pins from setup.py, and instead specifying only the minimum required versions of dependencies. Pinning is not considered best practice and tends to produce problems like this one.

There is a known issue affecting the newly released oci compute-management instance-configuration create and oci compute-management instance-configuration launch-compute-instance commands in version 2.4.35 of the CLI.

These commands are improperly serializing the ssh_authorized_keys property inside instance metadata, which results in the inability to SSH into the created instances.

Note that this only affects the new compute-management operations, and launching instances through other commands will continue to work as expected.

Hi Below is the command used and the return response.

We have Imported some of the Images from other tenancies, and as a requirement we need to list only those in "oci compute image list", Please let me know if that's possible.

I have a failed install. I would like to start over and capture all that may have gone wrong.
Per subject, is there a defined deinstall method?

I am on linux.

Notes:

1. Docs do not state to use sudo, get many permission violations without.
2. Same result when using pip install oraclebmc-cli instead of github zip download.
3. Tried with and without performing sudo yum update with no change, although running the yum update breaks connecting via iscsi to block devices.

On Unix -h is the conventional short option for help. -? doesn't feel natural and I keep forgetting to type it instead of -h.

Quality of life suggestion.

Example if I run:
oci os bucket list --compartment-id --namespace-name

I would prefer to be able to run:
oci os bucket list --compartment --namespace-name

The UI has a tendency to report the compartment name.
This affects a number of areas / commands.

There does not seem to be any way to achieve this with CLI version 2.4.27 apart from pulling the compartment IDs using "iam compartment list".

Thanks for considering

I have successfully installed, configured the oci-cli. I have tried fetching information like region list, etc from server to make sure i am able to connect with server, and end to end communication is successful. Now i tried to download the kubeconfig from already created OKE cluster using below command, and it's throwing SSL certificate errors.

BTW i am on mac

Command : oci ce cluster create-kubeconfig --cluster-id ocid1.cluster.oc1.xxxxxx(removed for securoty reasons) --file ~/.kube --config-file ~/oci/config -d

Error : raise MaxRetryError(_pool, url, error or ResponseError(cause))
oci._vendor.urllib3.exceptions.MaxRetryError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='containerengine.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /20180222/clusters/ocid1.cluster.oc1.phx.aaaaaaaaaezdimjsge3wcmlbmm3dsnbygeywczjqmjqtcnzqgczdenrvmi4d/kubeconfig/content (Caused by SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'ssl3_get_server_certificate', 'certificate verify failed')])")))

This doesn't work:

elvis-mac:ansible ejakupov$ echo "tst" | oci os object put --namespace my-namespace -bn backup --name backup/logging/test.tgz --file -
IOError: [Errno 29] Illegal seek

whereas this works
elvis-mac:ansible ejakupov$ oci os object put --namespace my-namespace -bn backup --name backup/logging/test.tgz --file - <<< "tst"

}

I would expect both commands to work.

Currently vnic-attachment doesn't support setting this option, which prevents from creating private IP as a target route.

could you add a command that grabs the wallet from autonomous transaction processing?

I installed an unrelated Python program which upgraded python-dateutils to 2.6.1 and crypto to 2.1.4. Then installing the OCI CLI native on the same host downgraded these packages because the requirements.txt contains e.g. python-dateutils==2.5.3 viz. python-dateutils>=2.5.3. I put in a pull request to prompt some discussion about this - https://github.com/oracle/oci-cli/pull/48/files.
