I know I can set Ansible’s overall verbosity when running a playbook (-v, -vv, -vv etc) but does anyone know if it’s possible to increase verbosity for specific tasks and/or modules from within the playbook? I’d like to see the progress reports that the homebrew, homebrew\_tap & homebrew\_cask modules are hiding (they can be a bit slow and I like knowing that my playbook hasn’t crashed). ---

I think it’s been suggested once before to be able to set verbose: True/False on a playbook or task (task overrides playbook overrides global, if set). Pull requests for something like this would definitely be entertained. ---

Well, I’m not Python programmer so guess I’ll have to patiently wait for someone to step up! 🙂
