I forked a version that is compatible with Ansible 2 and also gives special treatment to the "results" field that is used by the yum and dnf modules.

I´m always getting the following error:

[WARNING]: Error when using <bound method CallbackModule.v2_runner_on_ok of

Tried both of the mentioned Version 2 compatible versions. Why is that?

Thanks @dmsimard and @nots , I'll update the gist and blog post with links to your forks.

@drazul Yea, too bad gist doesn't have more features. I thought a repo would be overkill for one simple file.

It was raised in the past, but after updating it to support 2.0, why not pushing it to ansible (probably ansible-modules-extra)? It would be nice to have it available by default!

How to get rid of the double output? example: http://hastebin.com/obejuximun

@marcelloromani

@snevs: I tried this with ansible 1.9 and the only way I could have double output was by using -v flags.
So omit them and the double output is gone :)

Re: double output. It's just how plugins work - see https://gist.github.com/dmsimard/cd706de198c85a8255f6#gistcomment-1908752

Such an output plugin was merged in Ansible and has been released in 2.2.

To enable it, just export ANSIBLE_STDOUT_CALLBACK=debug environment variable.

ansible/ansible#16839

@DanyC97: this version should work with 2.1, otherwise try something like this: https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/blob/master/callback_plugins/default.py

@cliffano Using this, I get clean output but the output is not stored in ansible.log
Is there a way around that I use this callback, and also store logs in ansible.log, without having to print the output twice?

echoing the tanks here to @jpic - I had forked a version of this same plugin downstream from someone else only to find that with the version of ansible I am currently using 2.4.3.0 it was not even needed!

Hi, i am new to Ansible. Can you please list the steps how to use it.
I have a playbook and i need to hook up this callback plugin to my playbook to create a log files.

any advise will be highly appreciated!!

The object has no property 'CallbackModule', I configured my ansible_plugins path to the callback plug-in, and now report this error.Please check it for me
