Introduction

The Oracle is a debug/development helper app for Plone. It currently shows the following information about a given user/context:

• Authenticated User Info - ID, member type, roles, etc.

• Authenticated User Attributes

• Basic Context Info - ID, portal type, path, absolute url, etc.

• Context Workflow Info - Review state, history, assigned workflow

• Catalog Indexes

• Catalog Metadata

• Methods - view source and call those without arguments

• Attributes and their values

• Valid/Invalid permissions

• Context source code

It also provides a fast way to drop to PDB at any given context.

Installation/Use

To install, just stick it in your buildout, once you’ve got your instance running, there’s a few of views which you can use:

• the_oracle - Main context inspection tool

• pdb - Drops you to pdb at the current context

• the_oracall - Call method on the object context (?method=…)

• the_oracode - See the source of a given method (?object=…)

A Friendly Warning

Don’t leave this product installed on a production site, or anywhere near production data. It massively undermines the security of the site it’s installed on and allows you wreck a site and data in all kinds of new and exciting ways. Also, angry bears with assault rifles will come to your house and rough you up if you do. Seriously. They’re not happy bears at all.
