## Changes
Currently, when the CLI run a list API call (like list jobs), it uses
the `List*All` methods from the SDK, which list all resources in the
collection. This is very slow for large collections: if you need to list
all jobs from a workspace that has 10,000+ jobs, you'll be waiting for
at least 100 RPCs to complete before seeing any output.
Instead of using List*All() methods, the SDK recently added an iterator
data structure that allows traversing the collection without needing to
completely list it first. New pages are fetched lazily if the next
requested item belongs to the next page. Using the List() methods that
return these iterators, the CLI can proactively print out some of the
response before the complete collection has been fetched.
This involves a pretty major rewrite of the rendering logic in `cmdio`.
The idea there is to define custom rendering logic based on the type of
the provided resource. There are three renderer interfaces:
1. textRenderer: supports printing something in a textual format (i.e.
not JSON, and not templated).
2. jsonRenderer: supports printing something in a pretty-printed JSON
format.
3. templateRenderer: supports printing something using a text template.
There are also three renderer implementations:
1. readerRenderer: supports printing a reader. This only implements the
textRenderer interface.
2. iteratorRenderer: supports printing a `listing.Iterator` from the Go
SDK. This implements jsonRenderer and templateRenderer, buffering 20
resources at a time before writing them to the output.
3. defaultRenderer: supports printing arbitrary resources (the previous
implementation).
Callers will either use `cmdio.Render()` for rendering individual
resources or `io.Reader` or `cmdio.RenderIterator()` for rendering an
iterator. This separate method is needed to safely be able to match on
the type of the iterator, since Go does not allow runtime type matches
on generic types with an existential type parameter.
One other change that needs to happen is to split the templates used for
text representation of list resources into a header template and a row
template. The template is now executed multiple times for List API
calls, but the header should only be printed once. To support this, I
have added `headerTemplate` to `cmdIO`, and I have also changed
`RenderWithTemplate` to include a `headerTemplate` parameter everywhere.
## Tests
- [x] Unit tests for text rendering logic
- [x] Unit test for reflection-based iterator construction.

## Changes
This PR adds documentation for positional arguments in commands that are
generated from the openapi spec.
Note: the changes to `.gitattributes` will be revert / properly fixed in
https://github.com/databricks/cli/pull/1012
## Changes
Generated commands relied on global variables for flags and request
payloads. This is difficult to test if a sequence of tests tries to run
the same command with various arguments because the global state causes
test interference. Moreover, it is impossible to run tests in parallel.
This change modifies the approach and turns every command group and
command itself into a function that returns a `*cobra.Command`. All
flags and request payloads are variables scoped to the command's
initialization function. This means it is possible to construct
independent copies of the CLI structure and fixes the test isolation
issue.
The scope of this change is only the generated commands. The other
commands will be changed accordingly in subsequent changes.
## Tests
Unit and integration tests pass.
## Changes
When there are positional required parameters in the command which can't
be unmarshalled from JSON, we should require them despite the fact
`--json` flag is provided.
The reason is that for some of the command, for example, `databricks
groups patch ID` these arguments are actually path arguments in API and
can't be set as part of `--json` body provided.
Original change which introduced this ignore logic is here:
https://github.com/databricks/cli/pull/405
Fixes https://github.com/databricks/cli/issues/533,
https://github.com/databricks/cli/issues/537
Note: Code generation is based on the change in this PR:
https://github.com/databricks/databricks-sdk-go/pull/536
## Tests
1. Running `cli groups patch 123 --json {...}` works correctly
Backward compatibility tests with previous changes from
https://github.com/databricks/cli/pull/405
1. `cli clusters events --json '{"cluster_id": "1029-xxxx"}'` - works,
returns list of events
2. `cli clusters events 1029-xxxx` - works, returns list of events
3. `cli clusters events` - works, first prompts for Cluster ID and then
returns the list of events
## Changes
Disable shell completions for generated commands.
Default completion behavior completes local files which never makes
sense.
Automatic contextual completion of required arguments would be super
powerful but a lot of work to get right. Until then, we could do manual
completion functions in `overrides.go` as needed.
This fixes#374.
## Tests
Confirmed manually that commands no longer complete local files.
