plainbox-session-export − (re-)export an existing session
plainbox session export [−h] [−−flag FLAG] [−f FORMAT] [−p OPTIONS] [−o FILE] SESSION−ID
Export a single session
The plainbox session export command allows to export any existing session (that can be still resumed) with any set of exporter / exporter option combinations.
The exported session representation can be printed to stdout (default) or saved to a specified file. You can pass a question mark (?) to both −−output−format and −−output−options for a list of available values.
Positional arguments:
Identifier of the session to export
Optional arguments:
−−flag |
pass this resume flag to the session resume code |
−f=text, −−output−format=text
save test results in the specified FORMAT (pass ? for a list of choices)
Possible choices: ?, 2013.com.canonical.plainbox::hexr, 2013.com.canonical.plainbox::html, 2013.com.canonical.plainbox::json, 2013.com.canonical.plainbox::rfc822, 2013.com.canonical.plainbox::text, 2013.com.canonical.plainbox::xlsx, xlsx, rfc822, json, xml, html, text
−p=, −−output−options=
comma−separated list of options for the export mechanism (pass ? for a list of choices)
−o=−, −−output−file=−
save test results to the specified FILE (or to stdout if FILE is −)
Sessions that cannot be resumed cannot be exported. Two common causes for that are known.
First of all, a session can fail to resume because of missing or changed job definitions. For that you need to re−install the exact same provider version as was available on the machine that generated the session you are trying to work with.
The second case is when a session was copied from another machine and some of the log files are pointing to a different users' account. This can be worked around by providing appropriate symbolic links from /home/some−user/ to /home/your−user/
