DQuery is a general tool used to extract metadata from a drupal multisite installation, and query this metadata using xpath. It also provides some other commands complementing drush. Inspired by drush and Gentoo linux equery.
Planned features are an alternative package manager (to drush) and more complete integration against the Drupal version data API.
Contents
Installation
The easiest way is to install is using pip:
pip install DQuery
To install directly from github:
pip install git+git://github.com/david-xelera/dquery.git
If you are running Python <= 2.7 you will need to make sure the argparse Python package is installed since it's not included standard library:
pip install argparse
When first run without the --no-cache option DQuery will complain about a missing cache directory. You will need to create this directory manually and ensure the appropriate permissions are set.
Usage
In all examples it is assumed that you are standing in a valid Drupal multisite installation. To explicitly set the drupal root use the -r argument.
Commands:
multisite-xml
Generate and print a structured xml-representation of a drupal installation:
dquery multisite-xml
Right now this is the only way finding out the multisite-xml format queried against in the xpath command.
xpath
List the relative paths (to the Drupal root directory) of all enabled modules:
dquery xpath "//module[descendant::usage[@status='enabled']]/@relpath"
List directories of all projects with enabled modules:
dquery xpath "//project[descendant::usage[@status='enabled']]/parent::directory/@abspath"
List directories of all unused projects:
dquery xpath "//project[not(descendant::usage)]/parent::directory/@abspath"
List locations of all views 3 installations:
dquery xpath "//project[@name='views' and @version-major='3']/parent::directory/@abspath"
Formatters
The sites command are used in the following examples:
pipe
Attempt to format output as simple text, easily parsed by standards unix commands like grep, cut etc:
dquery --pipe sites http://site.com http://anothersite.com http://yetanothersite.com
pipe is the standard output format so dquery sites will produce the same result.
json
Format output as json:
dquery --json sites
[
"http://site.com",
"http://anothersite.com",
"http://yetanothersite.com"
]
yaml
Format output as yaml:
dquery --yaml sites - http://site.com - http://anothersite.com - http://yetanothersite.com
