Feature #3898
closed
Pagination should be turned off by default in --csv mode
Description
The pagination should be turned off by default when using csv output adapter. Csv is intended to be used primarily for machine processing so there's not much use in pagination. This behaviour can be overridden by passing --per-page implicitly.
Depends on: http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/3652

I'm reopening the issue since the PR actually fixed something different. It only turns off interactivity but data returned from server remain paginated.
I'm sorry if the issue description wasn't clear enough. Please contact me if you need more details.

this is by design. the data can't return without pagination (imagine a query returning 100K results, which is definitely possible)
the idea is that the machine reading the data will go through the pagination programatically.
i.e. this pseudo code:
current_results = get first page
all results += current_results
while current_results.size < per_page
current_results = get next page
all_results += current_results
end

I would assume that we can increase the default page size when we are in batch mode, so instead of 20 results, you can query for 500 or 1000 at a time?

yes. there are page and per_page options.
