I want to see what nodes are in an inventory group
Issue Type: Task Task
Assignee: Unassigned
Created: 2019/06/14 4:00 PM
Priority: Normal Normal
Reporter: Lucy Wyman

Even before inventory was dynamic users wanted to be able to display which nodes were in a group in an inventory https://github.com/puppetlabs/bolt/issues/537. Now that inventory can be dynamic this seems even more useful.

We should find what use cases current users have around displaying inventory.

A workaround for now is to use a plan that returns the targets
{noformat}
plan resolve_targets( TargetSpec $nodes) {
  return(get_targets($nodes))
}
{noformat}

This should be a new command {{bolt inventory show <some targetting option>}} where some targetting option supports similar options to {{bolt * run}} (ie. {{--rerun}}, {{--targets}}, etc.). The output should be support both human output (printed list of names and maybe the total number of nodes), and a JSON array names for the json output.

This should just return a list of target names for targets which match the targetting option and are also in the inventory.

{{bolt inventory show}} without any other options should error.
