hello,

I just try this tool but I have some issue on path file.

I have the following file mapping (for sample I have deleted some folder):

├── 000-initialize-afs.ym
├── tasks
        ├── include_galaxy.yml
        ├── loop_tasks
                └── _galaxy_resolve_role.yml

When I run : ansible-playbook-grapher 000-initialize-afs.yml

I get this error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/ansible-playbook-grapher", line 10, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())

ansible.errors.AnsibleFileNotFound: Unable to retrieve file contents
Could not find or access '/home/ubuntu/AFS/142/playbook-athena-foundation-service-core-infrastructure/loop_tasks/_galaxy_resolve_role.yml'

Of course, /home/ubuntu/AFS/142/playbook-athena-foundation-service-core-infrastructure/loop_tasks/_galaxy_resolve_role.yml do not exist. I have this mapping

grep _galaxy 000-initialize-afs.yml
      include_tasks: "tasks/include_galaxy.yml"

 grep _galaxy tasks/include_galaxy.yml
    stat_galaxy_file: none
  register: stat_galaxy_file
      include_tasks: "loop_tasks/_galaxy_resolve_role.yml"
  when: stat_galaxy_file.stat.exists

If I summarize : 000-initialize-afs.yml call tasks/include_galaxy.yml call loop_tasks/_galaxy_resolve_role.yml

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I use blocks in almost every part of a play where a block is allowed, including pre_tasks, but it seems that the grapher is unable to handle those, and generates an exception, making it unusable in most of my complex playbooks :( I wasn't sure if this was a bug, or a feature request, so pardon me if it is the former, and not the latter.

Describe the solution you'd like The same support as found when using blocks in tasks

Describe alternatives you've considered N/A

Additional context Love the library when I can use it, but on my complex plays where I use blocks to keep them clean and apply conditionals on large groups of tasks, where I would love to see the graph to explain to people what is going on, it is a no go.

Hi,

I have few question than can be feature maybe :) :

• Graph option : It's not possible to provide option about render like in inspired project https://github.com/willthames/ansible-inventory-grapher (- a arg in this project) ?
• When I run it with -t or --skip-tags, its normal that all the tasks are display but just with different opacity and not clickable ? It's not possible to not export skipped tags ?

Thank, br

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Sometimes when I try to understand a bunch of ansible playbooks, I want to navigate to the playbook that I am looking in the graph. Currently I do it by doing find tool but its very hectic. It would be much better If I click on the node and it should open the file corresponding to that node.

Describe the solution you'd like It wouldn't be difficult to implement this feature. Just a hint, you could use: graph.attr("node", URL="file name")

Describe alternatives you've considered I dont know yet, will update soon if have any

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have a folder with playbooks and roles. Some of the roles are referenced in multiple playbooks. I would like to generate a graph with all playbooks and referenced roles. When two playbooks reference the same role, I want to have only one node for that role, and edges from both playbook nodes that reference it to that node.

Describe alternatives you've considered

for playbook in playbooks/*.yaml
do
ansible-playbook-grapher --save-dot-file $playbook
done

And then manually merge the files. You can use grep roles *.dot | sed -e 's@.*playbooks/roles/\(\S\+\)".*@\1@' | sort | uniq --repeated to extract a list of roles that are actually referenced in multiple playbooks.

Additional context In case that's interesting, these are the playbooks/roles that I want to graph: https://github.com/magma/magma/tree/master/experimental/cloudstrapper

lxml has a security release in version 4.6.3, however I cannot upgrade to it due to ansible-playbook-grapher pinning it directly. As an installable tool that can interact with a virtualenv, ansible-playbook-grapher should not pin dependencies but declare ranges up until the next backwards-incompatible version, to allow users to fetch such upgrades.

When following the setup guide on MacOs 10.14 and Ubuntu 18.04 I get an abstract methods error. I installed on a new Ubuntu 18.04 machine when testing.

Tried with both Python 2.7 and Python 3.6

Do you know what changed that is potentially broken?

Thanks again! Carlos.

I'm looking to document a large playbook and documenting where variables are declared, and where they're used, has been difficult.

I'd like to see an option to map where variables are defined and where in the playbook they're used. More specifically, if I know I've declared variables in <role-name>/meta/main.yml, I want to tell the grapher to start in <role-name>/meta/main.yml and map to where they are used within that role (or, in other roles).

When running ansible-playbook-grapher --include-role-tasks on a playbook, it would be great if nodes could be collapsable. The graph can become intense and hard to consume.
