You can implement custom logging and/or limit re-auth attempts by creating a custom HTTP client
like the following and setting it as the provider client's HTTP Client (via the
gophercloud.ProviderClient.HTTPClient
field):
//...
// LogRoundTripper satisfies the http.RoundTripper interface and is used to
// customize the default Gophercloud RoundTripper to allow for logging.
type LogRoundTripper struct {
rt http.RoundTripper
numReauthAttempts int
}
// newHTTPClient return a custom HTTP client that allows for logging relevant
// information before and after the HTTP request.
func newHTTPClient() http.Client {
return http.Client{
Transport: &LogRoundTripper{
rt: http.DefaultTransport,
},
}
}
// RoundTrip performs a round-trip HTTP request and logs relevant information about it.
func (lrt *LogRoundTripper) RoundTrip(request *http.Request) (*http.Response, error) {
glog.Infof("Request URL: %s\n", request.URL)
response, err := lrt.rt.RoundTrip(request)
if response == nil {
return nil, err
}
if response.StatusCode == http.StatusUnauthorized {
if lrt.numReauthAttempts == 3 {
return response, fmt.Errorf("Tried to re-authenticate 3 times with no success.")
}
lrt.numReauthAttempts++
}
glog.Debugf("Response Status: %s\n", response.Status)
return response, nil
}
endpoint := "https://127.0.0.1/auth"
pc := openstack.NewClient(endpoint)
pc.HTTPClient = newHTTPClient()
//...
OpenStack request/response objects may differ among variable names or types.
To pass custom options to a request, implement the desired <ACTION>OptsBuilder
interface. For
example, to pass in
type MyCreateServerOpts struct {
Name string
Size int
}
to servers.Create
, simply implement the servers.CreateOptsBuilder
interface:
func (o MyCreateServeropts) ToServerCreateMap() (map[string]interface{}, error) {
return map[string]interface{}{
"name": o.Name,
"size": o.Size,
}, nil
}
create an instance of your custom options object, and pass it to servers.Create
:
// ...
myOpts := MyCreateServerOpts{
Name: "s1",
Size: "100",
}
server, err := servers.Create(computeClient, myOpts).Extract()
// ...
Some OpenStack services have extensions. Extensions that are supported in Gophercloud can be combined to create a custom object:
// ...
type MyVolume struct {
volumes.Volume
tenantattr.VolumeExt
}
var v struct {
MyVolume `json:"volume"`
}
err := volumes.Get(client, volID).ExtractInto(&v)
// ...
UnmarshalJSON
methodFor some response objects, a field may be a custom type or may be allowed to take on
different types. In these cases, overriding the default UnmarshalJSON
method may be
necessary. To do this, declare the JSON struct
field tag as "-" and create an UnmarshalJSON
method on the type:
// ...
type MyVolume struct {
ID string `json: "id"`
TimeCreated time.Time `json: "-"`
}
func (r *MyVolume) UnmarshalJSON(b []byte) error {
type tmp MyVolume
var s struct {
tmp
TimeCreated gophercloud.JSONRFC3339MilliNoZ `json:"created_at"`
}
err := json.Unmarshal(b, &s)
if err != nil {
return err
}
*r = Volume(s.tmp)
r.TimeCreated = time.Time(s.CreatedAt)
return err
}
// ...
