wishlist - c-c-s should be able to redo the "submit to C3" part via command line switch

[Jeff Lane ]

At the end of a test run via canonical-certification-server, the harness is capable of submitting results to C3.

However, this could fail for any number of reasons, including screwed up networking after testing, transient network issues, or who knows what.

We already have checkbox-certification-submit that can submit results to C3, BUT that requires installing a separate package and dependencies (one of which is the old Checkbox packages).

It would be awesome if in a future release I could do this:

canonical-certification-server --submit-results-only ~/.local/plainbox/submission.xml --hwid=SECURE_ID

with --hwid only being required if there's none specified in the sru section of the conf file.

OR perhaps simply re-running the routine that runs at the end of a testing run that prompts the user "Do you want to submit results [y, n]?"

A workaround I can suggest is using curl; it's about as easy as the sample you posted:

curl -v -F <email address hidden> -H "X-HARDWARE-ID: your-secure-id" https://certification.canonical.com/submissions/submit/

wrapping this in c-c-s has the advantage of being transparent if we ever change the way to submit to c3. But as-is, a canonical-certification-submit tool would be more easily implemented as a shell script wrapping curl (it'd be about 5 lines heh).

I strongly believe this is a part of a bigger story about using multiple
session APIs everywhere so that we can see all (?) past sessions and use
the meta-data flags field to indicate that a particular session was sent
successfully somewhere.

I think Sylvain is working on a subcommand to do this; since the work statement is clear, setting to triaged.
