Summary

Adds a status icon as the leftmost column in the default table output of jmp get exporters, giving users an at-a-glance view of each exporter's runtime status.

Icon mapping

Status Icon Meaning
AVAILABLE 🟢 Online and ready for lease
OFFLINE 🔴 Exporter is offline
BEFORE_LEASE_HOOK ⚙️ Running before-lease hook
AFTER_LEASE_HOOK ⚙️ Running after-lease hook
LEASE_READY Leased and serving a client
BEFORE_LEASE_HOOK_FAILED Before-lease hook failed
AFTER_LEASE_HOOK_FAILED After-lease hook failed
UNSPECIFIED / None Status unknown

Example output

   NAME          LABELS
🟢 my-exporter   env=prod,role=worker
🔴 old-exporter  env=staging
⚙️  hooking-exp   env=dev
⏳ busy-exp      env=test

Details

  • The icon column only appears in table output (default), not in -o json, -o yaml, or -o name
  • Icons are derived purely from ExporterStatus — the enabled flag is not used for icon mapping (see Expose exporter spec.enabled flag reliably in ListExporters protobuf response #1097 for future work on reliably exposing spec.enabled)
  • Added Exporter.status_icon() method with full test coverage for all status values
  • Updated all existing column count/header assertions to account for the new column

Tests

  • pkg-test-jumpstarter: 883 passed
  • pkg-test-jumpstarter-cli: 267 passed

Add a status icon as the first column in the default table output of
'jmp get exporters'. The icon provides an at-a-glance view of each
exporter's runtime status:

  - Available: green circle
  - Offline: red circle
  - Running hooks (before/after lease): gear
  - Leased and ready: hourglass
  - Hook failed: exclamation mark
  - Unknown/unspecified: question mark

The icon column only appears in table output (not in -o json/yaml/name).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The exporter status display now centralizes terminal detection and status mappings. Exporter tables render status icons after the name unless the STATUS column is shown. CLI help text generates the status legend dynamically. Tests cover the updated behavior.

Changes

Exporter status display

Layer / File(s) Summary
Status icon selection
python/packages/jumpstarter/jumpstarter/client/status.py
The new module detects terminal support, maps exporter statuses to emoji or ASCII indicators, and generates status help text.
Exporter table integration
python/packages/jumpstarter/jumpstarter/client/grpc.py
Exporter.status_icon() delegates to the status module. Tables add the icon column after NAME when show_status is false and omit it when show_status is true.
CLI help integration
python/packages/jumpstarter-cli/jumpstarter_cli/get.py
The exporters command appends dynamically generated status help text to its --help output.
Status display validation
python/packages/jumpstarter/jumpstarter/client/*_test.py
Tests cover terminal detection, status mappings, help text, rendered icons, table dimensions, and status-column behavior.

@mangelajo I think this looks good, but are we respecting the NO_COLOR and TERM=dumb env variables to disable rich terminal output?

This is how it would look:

Let me check the NO_COLOR and TERM=DUMB

btw, I think those UTF8 colors can be represented without color? but not sure if NO_COLOR requires "don't send me pesky UTF8", investigating.

so good point, NO_COLOR and TERM=dumb ... I am adding a patch on top to change those icons into simple ascii when those variables are detected.

Fall back to ASCII characters when the terminal does not support emoji:
- TERM=dumb: minimal terminal capabilities
- NO_COLOR set: spirit of plain text output
- Non-TTY stdout: output piped to file or another process

ASCII fallback mapping:
  + (available), - (offline), * (running hook),
  ~ (leased/ready), ! (hook failed), ? (unknown)

Adds _use_emoji() helper and comprehensive tests for both emoji and
ASCII code paths, plus tests for the terminal detection logic itself.

…locklist

Replace the permissive approach (only blocking TERM=dumb) with an
allowlist of terminal type prefixes known to support emoji rendering:
xterm, screen, tmux, rxvt, alacritty, kitty, wezterm, foot, ghostty,
contour, rio.

Terminals like linux (virtual console), vt100, ansi, and any unknown
TERM value now correctly fall back to ASCII status indicators, avoiding
garbled output on terminals with limited font support.

Tests cover TERM=linux, vt100, ansi, dumb, unset TERM, and all
allowlisted prefixes.

Looks good overall! Just a couple of UX nits.
Should we add a short explanation of the status icons to the help text? right now the column has no header, so especially with ASCII/NO_COLOR output, it’s not very obvious what +, -, *, ~, !, etc. mean.

also more of a suggestion, with --with status we show both the icon and the full status column, which feels a bit redundant once the user explicitly asks for the textual status, maybe in that case we could replace the icon with the status column instead?

@mangelajo @bkhizgiy I wonder if a 🔒/~ emoji might be a better description for a LEASE_READY exporter? Also, perhaps a ❌/x is better for OFFLINE status?

Thanks for the feedback:

@bkhizgiy : good idea about the help text. I didn't want to add any column header to avoid making the output wider. But some help is deserved.

and about --status ... You're right, also I think it could make sense to put the icon after the name... like status.

@kirkbrauer :

about 🔒, it sounds like it could be locked or disabled by admin?, but at the time I think it's better than the clock ⏳ which could mean that we are performing some activity that needs time...

So even if not perfect, 🔒 sounds good, claude also suggests: 👤, 🎫, ...

The ❌/x sounds good for offline

For online/ready I am considering a change to ⚪ , because lots of green dots are a little bit overwhelming to the eye.

- Extract status display logic from grpc.py into new status.py module
  with STATUS_ICONS dict as single source of truth
- Update icons per reviewer feedback:
  - AVAILABLE: green circle -> white circle (less overwhelming)
  - OFFLINE: red circle -> cross mark, ASCII '-' -> 'x'
  - LEASE_READY: hourglass -> lock (clearer semantics)
- Move icon column from position 1 to position 2 (after NAME)
- Suppress icon column when --with status is used (redundant)
- Add status icon legend to 'jmp get exporters --help'
- Move status tests to dedicated status_test.py

hmm, for the online, I think that I prefer the green dot... let me try again

55-56: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use STATUS_HELP_TEXT for get_exporters help.

get_exporters renders an independent legend, while jumpstarter.client.status.STATUS_HELP_TEXT is checked against STATUS_ICONS. The CLI tests do not render or assert this help. A later status update can therefore leave get_exporters --help stale without a failing test. Build the Click help from STATUS_HELP_TEXT, or add a CLI help test that asserts the generated help contains it.

Replace static ASCII-only help text with status_help_text() that
picks emoji or ASCII indicators based on terminal capabilities.
Use a Click Command subclass to render the legend in format_epilog
so --help output matches what the user would actually see.

Also reverts AVAILABLE icon back to green circle.

@mangelajo The only reason I suggested the lock was to make it cohesive with the VS Code plugin I'm experimenting with, but we could change either of them to match the other if desired.

sounds good, I have a request from @raballew , I could do as a follow up or here, adding something to completely avoid UTF8 icons, perhaps we should call it NO_ICONS? env var?

My gentlemen agreement with @raballew is that I will add another PR that obeys a NO_ICONS env var.
