EXPECTED RESULTS

It should been working like ansible-config init > ansible.cfg

ACTUAL RESULTS

Run ansible-navigator config init -m stdout > ansible.cfg

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I had fixed it at https://github.com/ansible/ansible-runner/pull/1306

[cidrblock]

In the meantime, you can override the PAGER environment variable in the EE, which will allow the file to be written without any prompting:

ansible-navigator config init -m stdout --senv PAGER=cat > file.txt

(this could also be put in the navigator config file)

[cidrblock]

Let us know if this works for you, we could consider conditionally setting the environment variable by default for the user if we detect config init

BTW- is ee support is disabled the senv won't work, it would need to be done like this before the proc

PAGER=cat ansible-navigator config init -m stdout --ee false
