In Synapse Python client version 1.9.0, we removed the public facing functions that uses the query services. We are going to replace the implementation of synapse list in version 1.9.1. We missed synapse get -q option. brought to my attention that there are public documentation on different projects in Synapse that instructs users to use synapse get -q. For example: https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn2942337/wiki/401927
At the very least, we should notify all project admins that has these instructions to update their instructions to use File View queries. I am creating this issue to brought into the discussion.
After discussion with Meredith, there is no easy way for us to find all of these wikis.
I DID just use search while logged in as an admin and was able to find quite a few:
https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn2942337/wiki/401927 -
https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn7080714/wiki/470472 - or ?
https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn3241074/wiki/232981 -
https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn7248578/wiki/410081 -
There are more, but it turns out that searching the wiki for this worked: https://www.synapse.org/#!Search:%22synapse%20get%20-q%22
The command on https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn7248578/wiki/410081 is actually for a file view, so it does work.
I think we have done what this ticket was created for: find the wikis and notified the owners. So I am closing the ticket. Please re-open if there is something else that needs to be done here.
