Ansible Configuration Support
z0mbix opened this issue · comments
Hi, this is a fantastic package and it's working really well for what I need so many thanks for all the hard work and thought on implementing this.
I'm still having to use an ansible.cfg
to add some configuration. I know I could use env vars to do this, but are there any plans to support ansible configuration with this package?
Hi @z0mbix!
I appreciate your message, thank you! I am really happy to know that the library is useful for you :)
I never had a use case to support ansible configuration rather than the env vars, but if you have an idea, you can elaborate on it, and I would give it a thought.
Thanks!
I've managed to do this which is working fine:
defaultAnsibleEnvVars := map[string]string{
"ANSIBLE_DISPLAY_OK_HOSTS": "false",
"ANSIBLE_DISPLAY_SKIPPED_HOSTS": "false",
"ANSIBLE_FORCE_COLOR": "true",
"ANSIBLE_NOCOWS": "true",
"ANSIBLE_PLAYBOOK_DIR": ansiblePlaybookDir,
"ANSIBLE_PYTHON_INTERPRETER": "auto_silent",
"ANSIBLE_RETRY_FILES_ENABLED": "false",
"ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH": ansibleRolesPath,
"ANSIBLE_SHOW_CUSTOM_STATS": "true",
}
defaultExecutor.EnvVars = defaultAnsibleEnvVars
So it's not a real problem, just thought it may be nicer to handle these with proper types to avoid it being so "stringy"
HI @z0mbix!
I have been thinking about it and a solution to solve it would be inspired by the options pattern.
I need to refine the idea but the first approach would be:
- Create new packages with a set of functions that returns such as
WithAnsibleDisplayOkHost()
,WithForceColor()
,WithPlaybookDir(dir string)
, etc. - Add a new attribute to the structs
AnsiblePlaybookCmd
andAnsibleAdhocCmd
, which would be a list of those configuration functions - Inject those configurations to the executor through env vars.
Hi @z0mbix!
I have been working on the feature proposed some time ago, which involves implementing a mechanism for configuring Ansible settings. I am now preparing to merge the first prerelease of version 2.0.0. You can find the changes here: #126. Please note that there are significant breaking changes in this new major release.
Great news! Very much looking forward to 2.x.x 👏
