Since I was digging around over the weekend after the change to move
away from light black, and the impact it had on less important
information showing more prominently than it used to, I took a step
back and did a deeper tidying up of things. Another side goal of this
exercise was to be a little more respectful of terminal width; when
we could say things with fewer words, I did so.
* Stylize the preview/update summary differently, so that it stands
out as a section. Also highlight the total changes with bold -- it
turns out this has a similar effect to the bright white colorization,
just without the negative effects on e.g. white terminals.
* Eliminate some verbosity in the phrasing of change summaries.
* Make all heading sections stylized consistently. This includes
the color (bright magenta) and the vertical spacing (always a newline
separating headings). We were previously inconsistent on this (e.g.,
outputs were under "---outputs---"). Now the headings are:
Previewing (etc), Diagnostics, Outputs, Resources, Duration, and Permalink.
* Fix an issue where we'd parent things to "global" until the stack
object later showed up. Now we'll simply mock up a stack resource.
* Don't show messages like "no change" or "unchanged". Prior to the
light black removal, these faded into the background of the terminal.
Now they just clutter up the display. Similar to the elision of "*"
for OpSames in a prior commit, just leave these out. Now anything
that's written is actually a meaningful status for the user to note.
* Don't show the "3 info messages," etc. summaries in the Info column
while an update is ongoing. Instead, just show the latest line. This
is more respectful of width -- I often find that the important
messages scroll off the right of my screen before this change.
For discussion:
- I actually wonder if we should eliminate the summary
altogether and always just show the latest line. Or even
blank it out. The summary feels better suited for the
Diagnostics section, and the Status concisely tells us
how a resource's update ended up (failed, succeeded, etc).
- Similarly, I question the idea of showing only the "worst"
message. I'd vote for always showing the latest, and again
leaving it to the Status column for concisely telling the
user about the final state a resource ended up in.
* Stop prepending "info: " to every stdout/stderr message. It adds
no value, clutters up the display, and worsens horizontal usage.
* Lessen the verbosity of update headline messages, so we now instead
of e.g. "Previewing update of stack 'x':", we just say
"Previewing update (x):".
* Eliminate vertical whitespace in the Diagnostics section. Every
independent console.out previously was separated by an entire newline,
which made the section look cluttered to my eyes. These are just
streams of logs, there's no reason for the extra newlines.
* Colorize the resource headers in the Diagnostic section light blue.
Note that this will change various test baselines, which I will
update next. I didn't want those in the same commit.
This commit reverts most of #1853 and replaces it with functionally
identical logic, using the notion of status message-specific sinks.
In other words, where the original commit implemented ephemeral status
messages by adding an `isStatus` parameter to most of the logging
methdos in pulumi/pulumi, this implements ephemeral status messages as a
parallel logging sink, which emits _only_ ephemeral status messages.
The original commit message in that PR was:
> Allow log events to be marked "status" events
>
> This commit will introduce a field, IsStatus to LogRequest. A "status"
> logging event will be displayed in the Info column of the main
> display, but will not be printed out at the end, when resource
> operations complete.
>
> For example, for complex resource initialization, we'd like to display
> a series of intermediate results: [1/4] Service object created, for
> example. We'd like these to appear in the Info column, but not at the
> end, where they are not helpful to the user.
* Improve error messages output by the CLI
This fixes a couple known issues with the way that we present errors
from the Pulumi CLI:
1. Any errors from RPC endpoints were bubbling up as they were to
the top-level, which was unfortunate because they contained
RPC-specific noise that we don't want to present to the user. This
commit unwraps errors from resource providers.
2. The "catastrophic error" message often got printed twice
3. Fatal errors are often printed twice, because our CLI top-level
prints out the fatal error that it receives before exiting. A lot of
the time this error has already been printed.
4. Errors were prefixed by PU####.
* Feedback: Omit the 'catastrophic' error message and use a less verbose error message as the final error
* Code review feedback: interpretRPCError -> resourceStateAndError
* Code review feedback: deleting some commented-out code, error capitalization
* Cleanup after rebase
When a stack has secrets, we now take the secret values and construct
a regular expression which is just an alternation of all the secret
values. Then, before pushing any string data into an Event, we run the
regular expression and replace all matches with '[secret]'.
Fixes#747
The existing logic would flow colorization information into the
engine, so depending on the settings in the CLI, the engine may or may
not have emitted colorized events. This coupling is not great and we
want to start moving to a world where the presentation happens
exclusively at the CLI level.
With this change, the engine will always produce strings that have the
colorization formatting directives (i.e. the directives that
reconquest/loreley understands) and the CLI will apply
colorization (which could mean either running loreley to turn the
directives into ANSI escape codes, or drop them or retain them, for
debuging purposes).
Fixes#742
Our recent changes to colorization changed from a boolean to a tri-valued
enum (Always, Never, Raw). The events from the service, however, are still
boolean-valued. This changes the message payload to carry the full values.
Part of the work to make it easier to tests of diff output. Specifically, we now allow users to pass --color=option for several pulumi commands. 'option' can be one of 'always', 'never', 'raw', and 'auto' (the default).
The meaning of these flags are:
1. auto: colorize normally, unless in --debug
2. always: always colorize no matter what
3. never: never colorize no matter what.
4. raw: colorize, but preserve the original "<{%%}>" style control codes and not the translated platform specific codes. This is for testing purposes and ensures we can have test for this stuff across platform.
These changes introduce a new field, `Raw`, to `diag.Message`. This
field indicates that the contents of the message are not a format string
and should not be rendered via `Sprintf` during stringification.
The plugin std{out,err} readers have been updated to use raw messages,
and the event reader in `pulumi` has been fixed s.t. it does not format
event payloads before display.
Fixes#551.
Previously, the engine would write to io.Writer's to display output.
When hosted in `pulumi` these writers were tied to os.Stdout and
os.Stderr, but other applications hosting the engine could send them
other places (e.g. a log to be sent to an another application later).
While much better than just using the ambient streams, this was still
not the best. It would be ideal if the engine could just emit strongly
typed events and whatever is hosting the engine could care about
displaying them.
As a first step down that road, we move to a model where operations on
the engine now take a `chan engine.Event` and during the course of the
operation, events are written to this channel. It is the
responsibility of the caller of the method to read from the channel
until it is closed (singifying that the operation is complete).
The events we do emit are still intermingle presentation with data,
which is unfortunate, but can be improved over time. Most of the
events today are just colorized in the client and printed to stdout or
stderr without much thought.
