Hi @jaybythebay, not quite sure what's up here - was this merge request accidental? It looks like it's just test code.

jaybythebay commented 2 years ago

Hey @jacalata This was definitely an accident and sorry about the false alarm. I thought I was comparing this to my fork and definitely clicked the wrong things here.

FYI, I am about to embark on some real code here. At my old company we had code in which we could do this:

  1. Edit SQL and a JSON Config with data definitions
  2. Airflow ran a job and downloaded Tableau Shared Data Sources. Refreshed the extracts, opened the files and edited the column comments with descriptions
  3. Airflow re-published the shared data sources

I'm planning on adding code to the document API that would help me re-create this without having written everything from scratch again. Do you see any problems with pursuing this approach? I know the document API doesn't currently supported editing the files but is there any reason that new code to do this wouldn't be allowed?

jacalata commented 2 years ago

I don't see any reason not to allow it - it sounds like some of that might be done using tsc/the REST API, such as the publishing step. Are you already familiar with that?

We couldn't do this with the rest API 2 years ago but I'll check it out again before I code too much!
