I assume you are talking about this issue: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/27124 > explain the purpose of the above line? What is > _ansible_verbose_always for? That's easy: it makes the module behave as if -v is specified on the ansible command line: it always produces verbose output when the assert module is used. > Why was it added to assert.py? That's a good one. As you probably read in the issue, nobody remembers, so it is unlikely someone suddenly can provide an explanation here :) > Could I add another parameter to assert.py (maybe quiet) and, if set > to True, then do not set result['_ansible_verbose_always'] to True? Sure; that's essentially what @bcoca suggested here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/27124#issuecomment-316855948 Feel free to create a PR which does that.
