Create namespace team1/app1 where app1 is a child of team1

[aymousa]

Hello everyone,

I am following the step by step and hopefully this does help.

1. working on a python end to end script that will execute and use import hvac during py functions
2. I am using HashiCorp vault enterprise development for testing the requirements use case
3. I have mast namespace under vault root named devops
4. the goal is to automate multi-tenant as follow
5. create new child namespace using client2.sys.create_namespace(path="app1)
6. the code in line line 5 hardcode namespace which I am looking for a way to change it to a string parameter running python command cli but it is not working getting python errors
7. below the full code block

import hvac

client = hvac.Client(url='https://vault-URL/ui/vault/secrets?namespace=**devops**')

# Create namespace daa/new-child-namespacename where the new namespace will be used for a specific tenant is a child of devops/
client2 = hvac.Client(url="https://vault-URL", namespace="devops")
client2.sys.create_namespace(path="NEW namespace")

8. I tried using :type namespace_path: str it did not work
9. I rewrote the code block as following and still not working as it is erroring out see latest code block

import os
import hvac
import requests

def hashivault_argspec():
    argument_spec = dict(
        namespace=dict(required=False, default=os.environ.get('VAULT_NAMESPACE', None), type='str')
    )
    return argument_spec

def hashivault_client(params):
    url = params.get('url')
    check_verify = params.get('verify')
    namespace = params.get('namespace', None)
    if check_verify == '' or check_verify:
        if url:
            verify = url
        else:
            verify = check_verify
        client = hvac.Client(url=url, verify=verify, namespace=namespace)
        return client

@aymousa / @amousa1968 : it's a little hard to follow this discussion, do you think you could move all of your questions into the original post so it's all together? Also please use code blocks for any code you're posting, it's quite difficult to read, especially without the correct indentation. Thank you!

Unfortunately the formatting in this post is still very messed up. I've tried to fix it, and I put it back into the original post.

Please edit your original post and refrain from posting additional comments and replies with edits.

Let's use the replies for discussion, thanks!

So with the edited post, I'm still a bit confused about what you're trying to do.

In the second code block, the hashivault_argspec function doesn't seem to be used at all in the example code so I'm not sure whether it's relevant.

In the first code block, you create client but then use a variable called client2 and I can't see where or how it's defined.

it is erroring out see latest code block

What is the error you're getting? How is the code called?
