callbacks with --check

[Mike Biancaniello]

I am trying to put together a logging module to log changes, but I do not want to log anything when run in check-mode (because no changes were made, so this would be confusing to anyone reading the logs).

Is there any way to do this? I can't find any place where play_context (or anything else that might have that info) is passed to a callback_plugin.

There is an approach that Brian Coca and I have been working on which would be to do the following:

from __main__ import cli

and then in __init__ of your callback:

if cli.options.check:

    self.disabled = True

Eventually, the plan is to make `cli.options` available to all callbacks natively via `self._options`. See https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/13412/files

worked great, thanks!

Is there a way to do this in 1.94?
For now, I added to my callback:

from ansible import __version__ as ANSIBLE_VERSION
if not ANSIBLE_VERSION.startswith('2'):
    from ansible.callbacks import display
    display("Logging not supported in Ansible <2.0",'red')
    from ansible.callback_plugins.noop import CallbackModule

I think you can check `self.playbook.check` in a callback for 1.x.  I'm not sure how soon you can access `self.playbook`.  It may not be accessible until `playbook_on_start`.  I'll leave that for you to determine ;)
