# BambooHR Debug Bundle

## Overview

Collect all diagnostic information for BambooHR API troubleshooting or support tickets. Captures connectivity tests, API response details, environment info, and redacted configuration.

## Prerequisites

- BambooHR environment variables set
- `curl` available for API tests
- Permission to collect environment info

## Instructions

### Step 1: Complete Debug Bundle Script

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# bamboohr-debug-bundle.sh — Run this, then send the .tar.gz to support

set -euo pipefail

BUNDLE_DIR="bamboohr-debug-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
mkdir -p "$BUNDLE_DIR"

DOMAIN="${BAMBOOHR_COMPANY_DOMAIN:?Set BAMBOOHR_COMPANY_DOMAIN}"
API_KEY="${BAMBOOHR_API_KEY:?Set BAMBOOHR_API_KEY}"
BASE="https://api.bamboohr.com/api/gateway.php/${DOMAIN}/v1"

exec > >(tee "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt") 2>&1

### Step 2: Programmatic Debug Info (TypeScript)

```typescript
import { BambooHRClient, BambooHRApiError } from './bamboohr/client';

interface DiagnosticResult {
  timestamp: string;
  environment: Record<string, string>;
  connectivity: {
    endpoint: string;
    status: number;
    latencyMs: number;
    error?: string;
  }[];
}

async function collectDiagnostics(client: BambooHRClient): Promise<DiagnosticResult> {
  const endpoints = [
    '/employees/directory',
    '/meta/time_off/types',
    '/meta/lists/',
  ];

  const connectivity = await Promise.all(
    endpoints.map(async (endpoint) => {
      const start = Date.now();
      try {
        await client.request('GET', endpoint);
        return { endpoint, status: 200, latencyMs: Date.now() - start };
      } catch (err) {
        const status = err instanceof BambooHRApiError ? err.status : 0;
        return {
          endpoint, status, latencyMs: Date.now() - start,
          error: (err as Error).message,
        };
      }
    }),
  );

  return {
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    environment: {
      nodeVersion: process.version,
      platform: process.platform,
      companyDomain: process.env.BAMBOOHR_COMPANY_DOMAIN || 'NOT SET',
      apiKeySet: process.env.BAMBOOHR_API_KEY ? 'yes' : 'NO',
    },
    connectivity,
  };
}
```

## Output

- `bamboohr-debug-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.tar.gz` archive containing:
  - `summary.txt` — Environment, connectivity, and dependency info
  - `directory-response.json` — Redacted API response sample
  - `response-headers.txt` — BambooHR-specific headers
  - `config-redacted.txt` — Environment config with secrets removed

## Sensitive Data Handling

**Always redact before sharing:**

- API keys and tokens
- Employee emails, phone numbers, SSNs
- Home addresses and personal info
- Salary and compensation data

**Safe to include:**

- HTTP status codes and error messages
- Response latencies and sizes
- `X-BambooHR-Error-Message` header values
- SDK/runtime versions

## Error Handling

| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| curl not found | Not installed | Install curl or use Node.js version |
| Permission denied | Script not executable | `chmod +x bamboohr-debug-bundle.sh` |
| Empty response files | Auth failure | Check API key before running |
| Large bundle size | Too many response files | Reduce to key endpoints only |
