ansible-navigator's Issues

Use zuul job to run integration test with execution environment

Use zuul job to run integration test with execution environment instead of current tools/test-setup.sh
as per the comment #125 (review)

open with string throws traceback as logger is improperly initialized

steps to reproduce:

ansible-launcher load example_artifact.json
:open $somestring here

result:

NavigatorConfig.get should return an enum + value

Rather than returning a string describing where a request config entry was found, return an enum/const of something not a string.

When the log entry is generated, use string that cooresponds to the enum/const that it returned.

This will clean up the tests as we can assert on a well known value and not the string

Uniform UI behaviour for subcommand in interactive mode

In the interactive mode for config, doc subcommand if <esc> is entered at the first UI screen it exis the app. However, in inventory mode the user has to enter :quit to exit the app.

ansible-navigator config just clears screen and returns blank

ProductName: macOS
ProductVersion: 11.2.1
BuildVersion: 20D74

Python 3.9.2
ansible-navigator 0.6.0

same when running :config within the TUI

Plugins and cfg options that prompt don't work in interactive mode

Based on the current architecture the following do not work with navigator:

.cfg---------
ANSIBLE_ASK_VAULT_PASS

plugins-----
vars_prompt
pause (with prompt)

Please add to this list as other are found

Integration tests running in stdout mode with EE are slower than expected

Integration test running in stdout mode with EE is slow (eg: )
Adding --tty option to container execution command https://github.com/ansible/ansible-runner/blob/devel/ansible_runner/config/_base.py#L384 results in subprocess execution to wait till default timeout (300 sec) is triggered.

Note the --tty option is added in stdout mode so that the user password prompt is not echoed in the ansible-navigator terminal

`ansible-launcher collections` is not functioning

ansible-launcher collections is not functioning, it just blips then returns to previous command prompt (for both cli and within ansible-launcher shell)

I installed a couple really quickly to try it out->

(venv) [student1@ansible-1 ~]$ ls ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/
ansible  cisco

no dice :(

I did start when there was 0...

Ansible-launcher playbook hangs indefinitely with no progress or logging when ask vault pass enabled in ansible.cfg

Issue

When launching a playbook with ansible-launcher, the interface hangs indefinitely with no logging. Strace shows child process is stuck in "read"

Replication

ANSIBLE_ASK_VAULT_PASS=True ansible-launcher playbook ping.yml --limit localhost -ll debug
Wait a few minutes

Expected Results

Job runs

Observed Result

Hangs indefinitely

Add subparse for config action

Add argument subparser for config action to parse ansible-config command-line option to accept path of the configuration file as input in Text user interface (TUI) mode.

Identify default execution environment config

Currently, the default config is set to

    "ansible-navigator": {
        "container-engine": "podman",
        "execution-environment": True,
        "execution-environment-image": "quay.io/ansible/ansible-runner:devel",

Refer https://github.com/ansible/ansible-navigator/blob/main/ansible_navigator/config.py#L32

:config from welcome screen produces garbage when mode is stdout

When running ansible-navigator with no params and mode set to stdout, the welcome screen is presented.

Typing :config results in the config output on the screen instead of the TUI config mode.

Should we force interactive mode on if no params followed ansible-navigator at the command line?

note to self, the utils file is growing and should be cleaned up, will do in a single PR later

Command line params do not match settings file

Specifically ee_image vs. execution-environment-image

horizontal scrolling (in e.g. `:log`) doesn't seem to work

In a small terminal, running :log cuts off messages and there doesn't seem to be a way to scroll right to see them. (Tested in iTerm2 and mate-terminal)

`:log` shows a bunch of `curses error` when terminal is resized

Timing of unit tests

Some units tests should be timed, although we might not be able to fail based on a threshold value, having the data would be good.

Example-

tokenize large yaml file
catalog collections
others?

run command does not prompt form if inventory is not provided

In case multiple invalid inventory sources are provided to the run command in that case a form is prompted asking for the correct inventory path. However if no inventory source is provided inventory option input is not present in the form.

example command
Mulitple invalid inventory source (working scenario)

ansible-navigator run gather.yaml -i test1 -i test2

No inventory source. Ensure inventory is not set in the config file (failing scenario)

ansible-navigator run gather.yaml

ansible-navigator.yml should allow ENV vars to be set or passed through to the docker/podman command

Similar to what tox allows:

setenv = 
    TERM = xterm
passenv = HOME

I think our keys would be set_envvars and pass_envvars the first a dict and the later a list

traceback when :inventory columns include keys not available

avoid long argument with single dash prefix

Traditionally, we use a single - prefix for the one letter parameters and two - for the long version. e.g -v or --verbose. Ansible already uses one letter and I think it would be better to only expose long arguments. This way we avoid any potential clash in the future.

I faced the problem with: ansible-launcher playbook playbooks/router.yaml -i inventory -e @internet.yaml

The error: ansible-launcher: error: ambiguous option: -e could match -ee, -eei

`:` commands can't be backspaced in some terminals

I've verified this in mate-terminal and Konsole (KDE's terminal), but could not reproduce the issue in xterm.

When typing a :-command like :config, it's not currently possible in some terminals to backspace characters that were typed which seems problematic.

KeyError exception when trying to browse group on inventory

I have run :inventory then filled the path to the following inventory on the form and submitted it.

[all]

KeyError: ''

When using :inventory or :run, EE parameters need to be passed on the : line or they revert to default

for instance

ansible-navigator --ee false --eei image --ce docker

If you :inventory -i some_inventory.yaml

The original command line params are lost

You would have to :inventory -i some_inventory.yaml -ee false --eei image --ce docker

which is goofy

(the inventory integration tests have made made to work, but should be cleaned up when this is fixed)

Pare/remove `share` dir

As we've already encountered, the share dir can cause problems during development and packaging. It seems like most of the items there should just be under various datafile subpackages in the main project tree, and the couple of items that we really want to be user-configurable/augmentable should just be loadable from config dirs (which can be located using something akin to what's there now). At first blush, it seems like themes are the only item that currently falls into that category, or am I wrong?

My primary concern is that we don't repeat the mistakes of /etc/ansible.cfg and never being able to effectively change or augment defaults by laying down a live all-encompassing config file.

include_role does not make error with `ansible-navigator explore`

playbook that should fail (the role does not exist)

- hosts: all
  gather_facts: true
  tasks:
  - include_role:
      name: brad.foo.ntp

failure with normal ansible-playbook site2.yaml

TASK [include_role : brad.foo.ntp] ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ERROR! the role 'brad.foo.ntp' was not found in /home/student1/ntp_demo/roles:/home/student1/.ansible/roles:/usr/share/ansible/roles:/etc/ansible/roles:/home/student1/ntp_demo

The error appears to be in '/home/student1/ntp_demo/site2.yaml': line 5, column 13, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

  - include_role:
      name: brad.foo.ntp
            ^ here

with command ansible-launcher explore site2.yaml -i inventory.yaml

zooming in (:0)

zooming in (:3)

but it says failed in bottom right? very weird

ansible.cfg inventory parameter doesn't work, forces you to use -i

I have this setup

[defaults]
inventory = inventory.yaml

these two work->

ansible-playbook site.yaml
ansible-navigator playbook site.yaml

this does not work

ansible-navigator explore site.yaml

Try changing tmux test loop to not look for :help help

capture screen before and after to detect changes

something like this

        """interact with the tmux session"""
        start_time = date.now()
        current_screen = self._pane.capture_pane()
        self._pane.send_keys(value, suppress_history=False)
        updated_screen = self._pane.capture_pane()
        while current_screen == updated_screen:
            time.sleep(0.1)
            updated_screen = self._pane.capture_pane()
            if date.now() == start_time > 10s:
                break
        return updated_screen

{{ examples | from_yaml }} can cause ansible-navigator to crash

In interactive mode, I can type :doc ansible.buildin.file and then pull the examples out with {{ examples }}.

But when I do this same thing on that module with {{ examples | from_yaml }} it spits out a traceback and crashes.

This works on other ansible.builtin.* commands, such as yum.

fwiw updated ansible-navigator from source this am.

:stream should be :stdout to match the mode option

tox.ini: black line length and flake8 max line length

should we try to specify and sync them in the tox.ini and reduce some of the longer lines in the func doc strings?
