Hi Sebastien, I think it's a good idea to allow users to enter human readable text and let cloudmonkey figure out uuid stuff, it's tricky to get it right I'll see if we can implement it in future.

Right now with autocompletion enabled (set paramcompletion true), one can easily tab tab on an arg that is of uuid, boolean (and a special case account param) type and cloudmonkey lists uuids with names so one can pick a uuid for a suitable name. > > If we want to do autocompletion of names and which then translate to uuids is sort of doable but it will require a lot of background list API calls and a translation layer which can slow down cloudmonkey, and there is a corner case that an entity got removed and the name to uuid translation layer in cloudmonkey won’t know which uuid to pick and fail (few people may find it alright). > no idea how to implement it :) I have not looked at the code in a long time. That's just a feature request, maybe it's not a good one. >> On Dec 9, 2014, at 3:03 AM, Erik Weber <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> I'm trying to use cloudmonkey in some scripts and find it hard to check if >>> there was anything returned or not. >>> >>> Would it be possible to have cloudmonkey not return an extra newline if >>> there's no results? >>> >>> Example of current behaviour: >>> >>> [jenkins@packer-master ~]$ cloudmonkey list templates templatefilter=self >>> name=packer-centos-6.6-60gb >>> >>> ( note this extra empty line ) >>> >>> [jenkins@packer-master ~]$ >>> >>> >>> Expected behaviour: >>> >>> [jenkins@packer-master ~]$ cloudmonkey list templates templatefilter=self >>> name=packer-centos-6.6-60gb >>> >>> [jenkins@packer-master ~]$ >>> >>> >>> -- >>> >>> Erik >>> >>> On Thu, Dec 4, 2014 at 12:45 PM, Rohit Yadav <[email protected]> >>> wrote: >>> >>>> Hi all, >>>> >>>> We want to work on the next release of CloudMonkey do you have any >>>> issues that we should fix, or any new feature you want?
