What's Changed

  • fix: Make sure the import_role tasks are always added to the graph. More info at #231.
  • Changes the shape of the graphviz node to make it consistent with Mermaid. The tasks will be rectangle instead of octagon: https://graphviz.org/doc/info/shapes.html
  • fix: Remove the play name from the edge going from the playbook to the plays. This was not consistent with the other edges.
  • fix: The tags on the role itself should not be evaluated. Instead, what we care about is the tasks (they inherit the tags set on the roles). More info [here.]https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbook_guide/playbooks_tags.html#adding-tags-to-roles)
  • The empty roles and blocks are no longer displayed by default. An empty role is a role with no tasks (after applying the tags filters, for example). This is the same behavior as the option --hide-empty-plays but with roles. I will eventually drop --hide-empty-plays to make this the default behavior in the future.
  • feat: Add the initial support for handlers to the graph with --show-handlers. They are by default added at the end of the play and roles only. This might change in the future to actually reflect the handlers' behavior.
  • feat: Add a new option --title to add a title to the graph by @haidaraM in #229. Default to 'Ansible Playbook Grapher'. The graphviz
    renderer will now use this as the title (label). The Mermaid renderer already has a title.
  • improvement: Make the play node label like what "ansible-playbook --list-tasks" show. This is more consistent with the actual playbook output.
  • fix: The playbook location.path should be the absolute path + use local paths when testing by @haidaraM in #230.
  • docs: Add a comparison matrix for the different renderers
  • (Internal) Moved some flags out of the parser to the renderer instead. The whole playbook and all the tasks and roles (except the excluded ones) are always parsed. The renderer(s) will decide later what do based on the flags
  • (Internal) Refactor how the nodes and tasks indices are computed given we can now add handlers after all the tasks are parsed.
  • (Internal) Add a new display_name() method to the node for a friendly name for the graph. This removes passing the node_label_prefix in multiple places.
