Here's an update on the status of this issue:

I've confirmed that validation errors like this are incorrectly treated as errors when not on a TTY. Unfortunately it's a bit of hairy code that needs cleaning up and I haven't had time to do it.

Hopefully I will have a fix for this soon.

Oh, maybe I didn't understand what was going on: Is the operation failing after the warning? I thought it still succeeded (as you would expect). That does sound like a bug, then. I will look into it.

Perhaps a "--batch" option should be added then.
In my opinion, when a warning is printed, the operation should ultimately succeed. Anything that causes the operation to fail is an error, not a warning.

There are other cases where I want warnings ignored, such as when my timeout thresholds are below the recommended values.

Hi,

This will be fixed in the next version of crmsh (that is, the version released after 1.2.6) -- At least the issue of crm commands not returning a useful return code on errors.

However, the second case is more difficult to solve in such a way, since the problem you are seeing is classified as a warning and not an error. Maybe something I could add is an extra strict mode which treats warnings as errors, and returns an error code for warnings as well.

When attempting to perform a change on the command line, the `crm configure` commands don't return a useful status code to indicate failure. This makes it impossible to use in an automated fashion.

In the past I've been using `crm configure ... | grep ERROR:`, but I just ran across a situation where that doesn't even work:

# CIB_shadow=puppet crm configure primitive hapi-dns-internal ocf:cloud:Route53Addr params name=rsc.mydomain.com. zone=mydomain.com. ttl=30 source=eth0 meta failure-timeout=120 op stop timeout=120 op monitor interval=30 timeout=60 op start timeout=60 on-fail=ignore </dev/null; echo $?
WARNING: Resources hapi-dns-external,hapi-dns-internal violate uniqueness for parameter "zone": "mydomain.com."
0

When run from a terminal, the command prompts because of the uniqueness violation. But when run from something like puppet, STDIN is /dev/null and so it fails.
