Bug Description

The built-in pager breaks the ability to use more or less, or even redirect output to a file as it sits there waiting for the user to enter Y or N after fetching the first "page" of image data.

The only way around it is to use something silly like '--limit 99999' or similar.

IMO, the default should be to fetch all matching images, no built-in pagination, and --limit should be used to actually limit the output rather than as a control for the pager.

Hi Craig,

Have you tried the -f/--force option?

I think this gives you what you want:

    bin/glance index -f

i.e. straight output suitable for redirection, with no pagination applied.

    Suppress pagination on non-tty glance index.

    Fixes bug 978610.

    Avoid the 'Fetch next page? [Y/n]' prompt interfering with
    redirected output.

    The native glance CLI will soon be superceeded by the new
    python-glanceclient, however this patch could still be useful
    to propogate from master to the stable diablo/essex branches.

Please find the attached test log from the Ubuntu Server Team's CI infrastructure. As part of the verification process for this bug, Glance has been deployed and configured across multiple nodes using precise-proposed as an installation source. After successful bring-up and configuration of the cluster, a number of exercises and smoke tests have be invoked to ensure the updated package did not introduce any regressions. A number of test iterations were carried out to catch any possible transient errors.

Please Note the list of installed packages at the top and bottom of the report.
