This PR includes:
- Further cleanup of BOTMETA.yml
- Cleanup of author github handles
- Use of proper booleans
- One-line license statement
- Copyright format statement
- Smaller cleanups
* fixed issue with default callback inheritance
- callbacks need to document same options as callbacks they inherit from to get them configured
- since default is also used by many 3rd party callbacks for inheritance, making the code 'tolerate' the missing docs
and fallback to using the direct constant to configure it's options.
* Using docstrings conflicts with the standard use of docstrings
* PYTHON_OPTIMIZE=2 will omit docstrings. Using docstrings makes future
changes to the plugin and module code subject to the requirement that we
ensure it won't be run with optimization.
- better variable precedence management
- universal plugin option handling
- also updated comments for future directions
- leverage fragments for plugins
- removed fact namespacing
- added 'firendly name' field
- updated missing descriptions
- removed some unused yaml entries, updated others to reflect possible future
- documented more plugins
- allow reading docs using alias
- short licenses
- corrected args for 'all plugins'
- fixed -a option for ansible-doc
- updated vars plugins to allow docs
- fixed 'gathering'
- only set options IF connection
- added path list and renamed pathspec mostly the diff is , vs : as separator
- readded removed config entries that were deprecated but had no message ... and deprecated again
- now deprecated entries give warning when set
- Better switch between *dense* and *default*
- Reimplement C.COLOR* out of necessity (help!)
- Make verbose output more dense (clean up result)
- Implement our own dumper
- Improve delegation support
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.
