awless-ro v0.2.2
awless-ro v0.2.2
tail comes out of hiding, and tail scaling-activities says when there is nothing to
show.
tail is listed
tail shows recent CloudFormation stack events or autoscaling activities, or follows
them. It had been hidden from --help and completion since it first appeared upstream,
as an experiment — though it works, and the README already documented it. It is now
listed, with help and examples:
awless-ro tail stack-events my-stack # the last 10 events of a stack
awless-ro tail stack-events my-stack --follow # follow a deployment until it completes
awless-ro tail scaling-activities -n 20 # the last 20 autoscaling activities
awless-ro tail scaling-activities --follow # wait for new onestail scaling-activities with nothing to show
Two defects inherited from upstream:
- No activity printed nothing and exited 0, which reads the same as a command that
failed silently. Autoscaling keeps six weeks of history, so in a quiet account this
is the usual answer. It now says so — on stderr, so stdout stays the events alone. --followreturned at once when there was no activity yet, which is exactly when
one waits for the first. It now polls from that moment on. An invalid--frequency
is refused before any AWS call.
README
The README now opens with a short recorded demo, and its "What it is good for" section
says plainly how the tool gets its data: list, search, whoami and tail ask the
AWS API every time; show and inspect work on a synced graph of the account, which
is where relations come from; list, show and inspect take --local to answer from
that copy without calling AWS.
No change to any command's output, flag or exit code beyond the above, hence a patch
release. Full detail in
CHANGELOG.md.
Verified
Against a live account: tail stack-events prints the header and events, and fails
with exit 1 on a stack that does not exist; tail scaling-activities with no activity
prints the notice and exits 0; --follow keeps waiting.
