e55250c6cb4cf836f9188095a21c85f663aac06b qmp-shell: fix pretty printing of JSON responses
Pretty printing of JSON responses is important to be able to understand
large responses from query commands in particular. Unfortunately this
was broken during the addition of the verbose flag in
commit 1ceca07e48ead0dd2e41576c81d40e6a91cafefd

scripts: qmp-shell: Add verbose flag
This is because that change turned the python data structure into a
formatted JSON string before the pretty print was given it. So we're
just pretty printing a string, which is a no-op.
The original pretty printer would output python objects.
(QEMU) query-chardev
{ u'return': [ { u'filename': u'vc',
u'frontend-open': False,
u'label': u'parallel0'},
{ u'filename': u'vc',
u'frontend-open': True,
u'label': u'serial0'},
{ u'filename': u'unix:/tmp/qemp,server',
u'frontend-open': True,
u'label': u'compat_monitor0'}]}
This fixes the problem by switching to outputting pretty formatted JSON
text instead. This has the added benefit that the pretty printed output
is now valid JSON text. Due to the way the verbose flag was handled, the
pretty printing now applies to the command sent, as well as its response:
(QEMU) query-chardev
{
"execute": "query-chardev",
"arguments": {}
}
{
"return": [
{
"frontend-open": false,
"label": "parallel0",
"filename": "vc"
},
{
"frontend-open": true,
"label": "serial0",
"filename": "vc"
},
{
"frontend-open": true,
"label": "compat_monitor0",
"filename": "unix:/tmp/qmp,server"
}
]
}
