Idea: --list-tasks show task's tags

I’ve been learning Ansible in the last couple of months and when using roles from Ansible Galaxy, it’s hard to know which tags each tasks has. I’ve search and couldn’t find a way to show all tags a task has, when listing all tasks (–list-tasks). I can build from source and do a small change on https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v1.8.4/bin/ansible-playbook#L251 from:

`
print ’ %s’ % task.name

`

to:

`

print ’ %s - %s’ % (
task.name,
stringc(', '.join(task.tags), ‘blue’)
)

`

And it works great:

`

Update caches - all
Create general configuration file for APT - all
Install apt packages - all
Install packages - all
Update parameters - all
Creating groups - all, configuration, groups, users
Per-user group creation - all, configuration, users

`

Except:

  • I don’t know what’s the base interface for adding this: Modify existing --list-tasks, add a second flag: --list-tasks-with-tags, or …

  • I wanted to get a feel if this would be considered useful by others.
    Thanks for taking the time to read my post, I’m willing to submit a PR with your suggestions.

Probably a better topic for ansible-devel
