Problem
The
view_user()
function manually defines its own print functionality for viewing information about an association in theflux-accounting database, but the Python bindings have its own formatting class that does this. It's also tedious to add new formatting features to the
view_user()
function.This PR creates a new subclass of
AccountingFormatter
calledAssociationFormatter
. It has a unique error message when the user cannot be found in theassociation_table
, but otherwise inherits the default JSON and table outputs that theAccountingFormatter
class already provides. Thus, the various helper functions used to create output for theview_user()
functions could be removed.I've edited a number of tests in the testsuite that check for specific output from the
view-user
command, as well as added unit tests for theview_user()
function.
