[ansible-project] Ansible v2.0 (master branch) not showing each item in with_items

[Fotis Gimian]

Hey there guys, hope everyone is well :)

I'm trying to use v2 (current master from GitHub) but, I've come across a
little problem;

e.g. playbook

---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- shell: /usr/bin/true
with_items:
- hello
- there
- friends

*Ansible 1.9 output*

PLAY [localhost]
**************************************************************


TASK: [shell /usr/bin/true]
***************************************************

changed: [localhost] => (item=hello)

changed: [localhost] => (item=there)

changed: [localhost] => (item=friends)


PLAY RECAP
********************************************************************

localhost : ok=1 changed=1 unreachable=0
failed=0

*Ansible 2.0 (master) output*

PLAY
****************************************************************************


TASK [command]
******************************************************************

changed: [localhost]


PLAY RECAP
**********************************************************************

localhost : ok=1 changed=1 unreachable=0
failed=0


Is there a way to get this additional information back?


Thanks heaps

Apologies to "bump" this folks, but was curious if this is simply the new
behaviour in 2.0 or this is a bug?

Thanks Brian, that seems to be a little better, but the progress is only
displayed at the end of the run while Ansible 1.9.x displayed it
progressively. Is this possible in 2.0?

I recently also had an idea on this same subject. In many cases where the
data structure is large, the output of each item can be rather
overwhelming. What do you think of an idea whereby users may customise the
output of each item in the output.

e.g.

- name: do some stuff
command: ...
item_output: "{{ item.name }} ({{ item.category }})"
with_items:
- name: something
category: something
data1: bla
data2: bla
data3: bla
data4: bla
data5: bla
- name: something 2
category: something 2
data1: bla 2
data2: bla 2
data3: bla 2
data4: bla 2
data5: bla 2

Thanks for all your help

currently output is at the end of the task, we will try to make it per
item but might not be able to do so for 2.0

callback plugins are now much easier to make and use, so you should be
able to change the output to match what you show and customize a
callback easily.

Progressive output would be greatly appreciated, particularly for longer
tasks.

Thanks for the tip about callbacks, I'll check them out tonight :)

Really appreciate all your help and time!

After doing a few fresh runs this evening with the newest master branch, I
think that for me personally, the value of items being displayed is lost
unless the output is progressive. In cases where I am installing say 20
packages with a single task, it's impossible to know what's currently
happening or roughly where it's at.

I also noticed displays a blank item at the end of each with_items output
(i.e. one extra line of output).

Would be absolutely awesome if this could be touched up before the beta if
possible. I can't thank you enough for all your dedication and work
towards Ansible, I love it and am beginning to recommend it to our project
teams.

Cheers
