[Users] ovirt-shell: Disabling autopage
Hi, Currently the ovirt-shell displays command results using a pager. It does this even when running non-interactively (ie. input via pipe) which is broken. As a workaround, I discovered the option 'cli:autopage = False' should be placed in my .ovirtshellrc file. This works great the first time, but then it seems ovirt-shell is overwriting this file and dumping my new setting. What am I doing wrong here? -- Adam Litke <agl@us.ibm.com> IBM Linux Technology Center

Not sure what do you mean by 'broken', - i didn't hear any complaints on pipe yet, can you elaborate? btw is it possible that your ovirt-shell is outdated?, take the latest from pypi.

cli:autopage is deprecated, therefore ovirt-shell overriding old configuration file with new format, you can disable pagination by 'no_paging = True' in .ovirtshellrc

If I try a command in the shell such as: for i in `seq 1 10`; do echo "show vm myvm-$i" | ovirt-shell -c done the pager is invoked for each iteration and I must press 'q' for each iteration of the loop to continue.

It's possible. I am using the Fedora package (ovirt-engine-cli-3.2.0.5-1.fc17.noarch).

Ok, thanks. Is there any documentation on the allowed options in the .ovirtshellrc file? -- Adam Litke <agl@us.ibm.com> IBM Linux Technology Center

you can disable pagination via .ovirtshellrc

latest is 3.2.0.9-1, mburns will update ovirt repos soon.

no, cause all options are pretty straightforward [1] and always available in .ovirtshellrc with defaults, also the meaning of every option (except no_paging & password) can be seen in the ovirt-shell --help. [1] [ovirt-shell] username = url = insecure = False no_paging = False filter = False timeout = -1 password =
