The goal for the "dense" output is to only show changes and failures on-screen (the Unix-way).
However, since we still want to have a sense of progress, we use terminal capabilities to display progress.
- On screen there should only be relevant stuff
- How far are we ? (during run, last line)
- What issues occured
- What changes occured
- Diff output
- If verbosity increases, act as default output
So that users can easily switch to default for troubleshooting
- Leave previous task output on screen
- If we would clear the line at the start of a task, there would often
be no information at all
- We use the cursor to indicate where in the task we are.
Output after the prompt is the output of the previous task
- Use the same color-conventions of Ansible
This is still a work in progress.
It was released to give a glimpse of what would be possible.
The Ansible callback mechanism currently does not have all the functionality we need to do this efficiently.
* Replace pipes.quote for shlex_quote
* More migration of pipes.quote to shlex_quote
Note that we cannot yet move module code over. Modules have six-1.4
bundled which does not have shlex_quote. This shouldn't be a problem as
the function is still importable from pipes.quote. It's just that this
has become an implementation detail that makes us want to import from
shlex instead.
Once we get rid of the python2.4 dependency we can update to a newer
version of bundled six module-side and then we're free to use
shlex_quote everywhere.
If the current ansible enviroment has a config setup
that doesn't use 'smart' as the configured transport
test_play_context would fail when it assumes the
transport will be 'smart'.
* better explain task vs play includes
* clarification of play levels
* Update playbooks_roles.rst
Tweaked for grammar and clarity.
* Update playbooks_roles.rst
Typo fix
Previous changes addressed a corner case, which unfortunately introduced
another bug. This patch adds a new flag to the host state (did_rescue) which
is set to true when the rescue portion of a block completes. This flag is
then checked in _check_failed_state() when the fail_state != FAILED_NONE.
This lead to the discovery of another bug - current strategies are not advancing
hosts to ITERATING_COMPLETE after doing a peek at the next task, leaving the
host state in the run_state of the final task. To address this, before gathering
the list of failed hosts in StrategyBase.run(), a final pass through the iterator
for all hosts is done to ensure each host is in its final state. This way, no
strategy derived from StrategyBase has to worry about it and it's handled.
Fixes#17983
* Have template action plugin call do_template
Avoids all the magic done for 'inline templating' for ansible plays.
renamed _do_template to do_template in templar to make externally accessible.
fixes#18192
* added backwards compat as per feedback
This commit extends YAML linting by enabling standard rules from the
`yamllint` tool [1]. Since syntax errors and key duplicates are already
checked since 4d48711, this change only adds detection for cosmetic
problems. It also narrows checks to the test/ dir only.
The main goal is to prevent future problems to enter the code base
without being noticed. While it would be a huge effort to be PEP8
compliant, it is relatively easy to have correct YAML style *now* and
prevent future errors by enabling linting.
Note: for those (like me) caring about code attribution: use `git blame
-w` to ignore whitespace-only changes.
Note: I disabled some linting checks (such as indentation), they can be
enforced in the future if needed. Similarly, current checks can also be
disabled. See the `.yamllint` file.

This change corrects problems reported by the `yamllint` linter.
Since key duplication problems were removed in 4d48711, this commit
mainly fixes trailing spaces and extra empty lines at beginning/end of
files.
* Added test for sequenced-name instance generation (num_instances)
* Added param-check tags to tests that only do argument checking
Should be merged AFTER ansible/ansible-modules-core#4276
* ROADMAP updates
* Formatting - Especially the first section
* Reno Release notes is out of scope (I believe?)
* Change "Speed up make webdocs to stretched Goal - As I don't believe we currently know *how* we can achieve this
* Removed the word `Hardening` as it implies security, which isn't something we are actively working on in 2.3
