Hi Gerrit, The easiest way you could go is, on the entry action of the task, to override the humanized_output, as done in [1]. In there, just to pass the output from a sub-action. The simplest way to go with our example would be ``` def humanized_output planned_actions(::Actions::MyPlugin::FirstTask).first.output end ``` The continious output [2] is there just as a interface to keep the format of the output messages in sync between the task and the UI, when relying on the output that it produces: this is the format we are using for ansible and remote execution. I'm interested into the case you're trying to solve to see, what would be the best way to address it (+ I'm curious of course :) [1] - https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-tasks/blob/826b902cb8604e9ba1332fa5468f6ea49c7e980f/app/lib/actions/helpers/with_delegated_action.rb#L24 [2] - https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-tasks/blob/826b902cb8604e9ba1332fa5468f6ea49c7e980f/lib/foreman_tasks_core/continuous_output.rb -- Ivan > > Regards, > > --Gerrit > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "foreman-dev" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "foreman-dev" group.
