feature request: allow module messages to be less alarming

[simonLeary42]

the documentation says that you can use LMOD_ADMIN_FILE to make modules print deprecation warnings. I like to use this file to make modules print other messages as well. It's a small thing, but I would like to make the output not red. Red makes the users think that there is an error.

I tried changing m_Module_Msgs to remove the red border , but there's still one printed after the module message: https://github.com/TACC/Lmod/blob/eb3e9119ef1ec3a17f2feb693c9dba16e1c93503/src/MainControl.lua#L1442

If we had a m_Module_Msgs_close option in the message file, that would work for me.

I tried to use the colorize function myself in the message file, but was unsuccessful. If that were possible, then I would be able to decide the color of the border on a per-message basis, which would be nice.

message-file.lua

require("colorize")
return {
    en = {
        m_Module_Msgs = [==[
%{colorize("blue", "---------------")}
There are messages associated with the following module(s):
%{colorize("blue", "---------------")}]==],
    }
}

This feature request has been updated on the testing branch. Your site can now override m_Module_Msgs_close to get a border other that red.

Please try the testing branch to see if it works for you.

This feature has been merged into the main branch and has been released as Lmod 8.7.36.
