This is a simple script that will help automate migrating "core/config" Looker blocks to be "refinement ready". Still a work in progress but the hope is that this will prevent the user from some repetative tasks.
Specifically, this script will transform extends based LookML objects into a vanilla one so that they can be refined.
Checkout go/looker-migrate-block-checklist for more details about this process.
This should cover the transformations needed for views and explores but validation and still needs to happen on a Looker instance.
Clone this repo!
Then clone my fork of Fabio's node.js LookML parser which provides additional support for some LookML parameters. Make sure you clone this into your home directory. My changes and Fabio's LookML generation aren't in the npm version of the library, so be sure to use this forked repo!
Install both this library and the parser:
cd ~/marketplace_refinery && npm install
cd ~/node-lookml-parser && npm installRun this node and give it a path to a LookML project directory. It should rewrite the files in place:
node ~/marketplace_refinery/index.js <path_to_lookml_project>This is still a work in progess but feel free to push updates here or the LookML parser if things are breaking.
Both libs can be dense but you can easily debug by opening chrome://inspect in Chrome and starting a "dedicated DevTools for Node".
Then drop debugger; at some offending point and run:
cd ~/marketplace_refinery && npm run debug
