- Reorganize examples into basic/ and advanced/ folders for progressive learning - Move quickstart.py -> examples/advanced/complete_walkthrough.py (renamed for clarity) - Create examples/basic/functional_testing.py from test_dataverse_functionality.py - Enhance examples/basic/installation_example.py with comprehensive validation - Update examples/README.md with detailed learning progression and usage guide - Eliminate duplication between examples while preserving all functionality - Create logical Install → Test → Master learning path for new users
…onality Resolved conflict in examples/basic/installation_example.py by keeping our enhanced comprehensive validation approach which provides better user experience than the simpler remote version.
…verse - Update all docstring references from ~dataverse_sdk.* to ~PowerPlatform.Dataverse.* - Update dynamic imports from dataverse_sdk to PowerPlatform.Dataverse - Remove obsolete src/dataverse_sdk/ directory and files - Ensure consistent namespace usage throughout the codebase All references now properly use the new PowerPlatform.Dataverse namespace.
Remove unused test directories that only contained placeholder __init__.py files: - tests/integration/ - No integration tests present - tests/unit/utils/ - No utility unit tests present This completes the directory structure cleanup after the namespace migration.
- Replace DefaultAzureCredential with InteractiveBrowserCredential in docstring examples - Update examples/README.md to recommend more specific credential types - Remove DefaultAzureCredential recommendations to avoid potential auth issues - Use explicit credential types for better developer experience
- Update quickstart.py references to examples/advanced/complete_walkthrough.py - Update quickstart_file_upload.py reference to examples/advanced/file_upload.py - Update quickstart_pandas.py reference to examples/advanced/pandas_integration.py - All references now point to existing files in the current directory structure
- Add comprehensive installation troubleshooting for both end users and developers - Explain difference between 'pip install PowerPlatform-Dataverse-Client' vs 'pip install -e .' - Provide clear guidance on when to use each installation approach - Improve error handling and user experience for package validation - Add educational content about editable mode for development workflows
