#6172 CLI should print warnings at the end instead of at beginning of output
Closed: wontfix 5 years ago by rcritten. Opened 7 years ago by pspacek.

Currently the CLI prints warnings at the beginning of the output:

root# ipa dnsforwardzone-add test. --forwarder=192.0.2.1
Server will check DNS forwarder(s).
This may take some time, please wait ...
ipa: WARNING: DNS server 192.0.2.1: query 'test. SOA': The DNS operation timed out after 10.0000779629 seconds.
  Zone name: test.
  Active zone: TRUE
  Zone forwarders: 192.0.2.1
  Forward policy: first
root#

The warning is buried after the expected output and users sometimes overlook that warning.

It would be better to show warnings at the very end so it is immediately obvious (as it would be right above the shell prompt).

root# ipa dnsforwardzone-add test. --forwarder=192.0.2.1
Server will check DNS forwarder(s).
This may take some time, please wait ...
  Zone name: test.
  Active zone: TRUE
  Zone forwarders: 192.0.2.1
  Forward policy: first
ipa: WARNING: DNS server 192.0.2.1: query 'test. SOA': The DNS operation timed out after 10.0000779629 seconds.
