Idea: --list-tasks show task's tags

[Leonel Galan Recinos]

I've been learning Ansible in the last couple of months and when using roles from Ansible Galaxy, it's hard to know which tags each tasks has. I've search and couldn't find a way to show all tags a task has, when listing all tasks (--list-tasks). I can build from source and do a small change on https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v1.8.4/bin/ansible-playbook#L251 from:

print '    %s' % task.name

to:

print '    %s - %s' % (

  task.name,

  stringc(', '.join(task.tags), 'blue')

)

And it works great:

Update caches - all

Create general configuration file for APT - all

Install apt packages - all

Install packages - all

Update parameters - all

Creating groups - all, configuration, groups, users

Per-user group creation - all, configuration, users
...

Except:

• I don't know what's the base interface for adding this: Modify existing --list-tasks, add a second flag: --list-tasks-with-tags, or ...
  
• I wanted to get a feel if this would be considered useful by others.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post, I'm willing to submit a PR with your suggestions.

Probably a better topic for ansible-devel
