2 years ago [Mike Burgess] I also find it a little hard to see the actual plugin names - I find Plugin: and Reason: on each row is a little distracting / redundant
[Mike Burgess] Might look nicer in a table (which ties nicely with the CLI), perhaps: Updated the following plugins:
+------------+---------+---------------------------------------------+ | Plugin | Version | Documentation | +------------+---------+---------------------------------------------+ | aws@latest | v0.50.1 | https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/aws | +------------+---------+---------------------------------------------+
Skipped the following plugins:
+------------+--------------------------+ | Plugin | Reason | +------------+--------------------------+ | gcp@latest | Latest already installed | | oci@latest | Latest already installed | | tfe@latest | Latest already installed | +------------+--------------------------+
[Nathan Wallace] I agree this needs improving, but I'm not sure if user the table.
Alphabetical definitely
[Mike Burgess]Interestingly, as you install more plugins, the actual bit you care most about (what got updated) may well get hidden off screen, so putting the updated plugins at the end might make more sense, closest to your eyes/cursor once output. Or a summary sentence at the end like Updated 3 plugins, skipped 46 plugins to let you know if you need to scroll back up for more detail.
If not table, definitely need to remove the same text off each row - I’d vote for table though - nice way to lay out data with the same keys
The exact design need to be determined and discussed with @MichaelBurgess @e-gineer @johnsmyth
At the least, list the plugins in alphabetical order. (further discussion below)
