Ignore Dry-Runs (--check)
What component is this about ?
I would like to be able to ignore all Dry-Runs (--check) and not save those executions on ARA database.
What is your ARA installation like ?
ARA 1.4.2 Installed from pip Virtual Env Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Mysql Database
What is the idea ?
The idea is to just have the important playbook executions on ARA database.
Hey @rntbrgtt and thanks for the issue !
I think we can do that. It would be a setting for the callback and if it determines that --check is enabled, it wouldn't do anything.
I actually have a similar need that I planned on working on soon and while it isn't exactly what you've asked for, how would you feel if dry-run playbooks could be easily identified or filtered ?
I don't know exactly what shape or form this would take yet. We currently know if a playbook ran in "--check" through the CLI arguments:
We could use the value of <playbook>["arguments"]["check"] and then do something with that, whether it's to highlight in a different color, filtering in (or out), etc.
Hi dmsimard ,
Thanks for your help and time working on this.
We always run dry runs with --check or -C so if you use that to identify it will work for us.
Regards,
Hey @rntbrgtt, I haven't had time for this yet but I'd like to include something for this in v1.5.
I'm going to test an approach to use labels to highlight check mode, it's WIP here: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/752259/
