Plugin pack installer #6402

BigFunger · 2016-03-03T19:56:18Z

resolves #5761

Plugin pack installer for kibana

modified existing entry point

Removed the plugin commands from the ./bin/kibana entry point

new entry point

All plugin commands are now executed from the ./bin/kibana-plugin entry point:

list  [options]                 List installed plugins
install  [options] <plugin/url> Install a plugin
remove  [options] <plugin>      Remove a plugin
help  <command>                 Get the help for a specific command

List command changes

Refactored to use its own settings object/parser
Now ignores folders that begin with a period.
Added tests

No longer supports tar.gz format. Only supports zip format
Attempts to download the specified plugin from:
- exact <plugin> specified
- https://download.elastic.co/packs/<plugin>/<plugin>-<kibana version>.zip
Expects the pack zip file if the plugin name is 'xpack' to be structured:

any-named-zip-archive.zip
|__kibana
| |__xpack
| | |__package.json
| | |__...

Expects the package.json file to contain a name (xpack) that matches the containing folder in the archive exactly and a version that matches the version of kibana exactly.
Currently there is no platform-specific logic implemented
Currently will only install the first plugin that it finds in the kibana folder if more are in the archive.
Logic has been added to make implement platform specific and multiple plugins easier for later versions.

Initial observations...

remove and list commands should be checking to ensure that they're dealing with directories, currently they list and remove files
remove doesn't work when folder names have a space
related: install should probably validate the name in the package.json and fail if it contains a space - npm packages can't have a space in their name anyway

Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "Incorrect version in plugin [shield]. Expected [5.0.0-snapshot]; found [5.0.0-SNAPSHOT]"

I wonder if we should normalize the version string coming in and cast to lowercase. I also wonder if we should just drop anything after the last number, like we do in the ES version checker.

Should be glob-all here

When running help on a command that doesn't exist (ie. kibana-plugin help funger), there's a stray undefined in the output that should be removed.

I think it's trying to show the default usage syntax but failing.

I believe with the move to ES6 modules, we've gotten rid of require statements on client and server code now. If I'm right, you should be using import instead of require here, and elsewhere.

The file permissions on bin/kibana-plugin need to include the +x flag. I have no idea how to achieve that on Windows though...

BigFunger · 2016-03-04T20:22:52Z

jenkins, test it

+let argv = process.env.kbnWorkerArgv ? JSON.parse(process.env.kbnWorkerArgv) : process.argv.slice();
+let program = new Command('bin/kibana-plugin');


I think this should be const

The focus of my changes on this file were removing existing functionality from it. I didn't rewrite this file, so I didn't focus on it as a whole. Despite this, I'll make your suggested change.

One thing I wanted to note: the size of this pull request makes it really difficult to review effectively. You broke up the PR description into 5 different categories of changes - I'd recommend 5 different pull requests in the future.

@epixa said

Rather than error if the user doesn't specify a command in help, I think we should render the default text. Basically, I'd expect both of these to be valid ways to retrieve help text about the cli:

This will require hacking on the Command module we use for the cli. Opened #6577 to address this.

This has to be lowercase - ../cli/command

With that last fix, the installer is now fully functional. LGTM!

epixa · 2016-03-23T22:56:44Z

Is it intentional to allow people to install over existing plugins (without removing them first)?

epixa · 2016-03-23T22:57:14Z

Err, nevermind. It failed eventually.

epixa · 2016-03-23T22:57:59Z

LGTM
