[wildfly-dev] CLI batches in control flow blocks

Hello everyone, I've been thinking about changing how the bodies of if-else and try-catch-finally are treated by the CLI. Up until now every control flow block (i.e. between if and else, between else and end-if, etc) was executed as a batch. So, when a block was selected for the execution, the CLI would enter the batch mode and proceed adding operations (and commands translated to operations) to it. If a command can't be translated to an operation, it would be executed outside the batch immediately (that's done for commands like cd, ls, etc). After the last line of the body processed, the batch (if not empty) is executed. But this doesn't work when mixing operations with shutdown or reload commands (they do translate to operations but they have additional logic related to re-connecting). shutdown/reload will be executed outside the batch and before the batch is complete. Currently open issues for this https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-876 https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-533 So, I think it was a mistake to execute the bodies of control flow blocks as batches. It would be better leave them as usual sequences of command lines and if the user wants a batch, he/she could add batch command explicitly. I wanted to ask for opinions. Could we make this change in WildFly 10? Thanks, Alexey
