Vmware.powercli module help could not be scraped automatically #63

Sure. Some remarks:

Thanks Luc! I think your first bullet is what causes the problem here. I remember having this same issue with the Az module, which is similar in that it is a kind of wrapper for a whole bunch of modules. I need to look into the scrape script to see what's going on again (been a while) |
|
Ah yes. You could use BulkHelpCollector.ps1 to locally create files that contain help for all the member modules. If you could run that, and send me the resulting files, I could bulk upload them into Azure.

Will do. |
|
Attached are the files in a ZIP archive. This is for VMware.PowerCLI 12.6, currently the latest version |
|
Yes, let's try that. If that doesn't work, we'll figure out an alternative :-) |

Hi @lucdekens, your modules have been added. Note that a few modules were not loaded completely. The problematic ones were: Help info was available for 2.177+ cmdlets. At least 2.104 of them were added successfully. (I ran the first module 'VMware.CloudServices' seperately, those numbers are not included. I think that's a great start. I will spend a little time trying to find out what blocks the few unsuccessfull ones. Full output here: |

Only thing I need to do is trigger DB metadata crawl, so the metadata in the hamburger menu is updated. And done :) |
|
Great. |
|
Just did a quick test with It looks as if the explanation for the parameters is not expanded,
although it is available in the help.
|
|
Thanks, I've created a separate issue for that, so we can investigate further. |
|
I just finished a rerun of the bulk upload, and that seems to have solved the issues. Let me know if there is something still missing. |
|
It looks like some cmdlets are not there, like enable-wmcluster and set-vsanclusterconfiguration. Couldn't write 'set-vsanclusterconfiguration': Exception calling "Execute" with "1" argument(s): "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request." |

hi @lucdekens, I've corrected two bugs in my help scraping process, one was for help cache files with help info for only one cmdlet, which resulted in a false error message saying only 1 of 15 items were imported, where actually all 1 of 1 were imported. The only thing I'm still working on in the background now, is finding and fixing other modules where this bug may have played a role, resulting in empty Parameter data, or missing cmdlets. The VMWare module is done. |
|
If it's allright with you, I'd like to close this issue |
|
Just tried it, and it is looking good. Thanks for investing all this time in this issue. Yes, you may close the issue. |

It was a pleasure having you! Glad we could improve the app 😊 |

@lucdekens thanks for trying out my stuff. Too bad this one didn't work out of the box. Would you like to help me add this module to the DB?
