Hammer cli not showing discovery option

Support

Problem:
Hammer is not showing the discovery option after installing the plugin.

Expected outcome:
discovery sub-option to be added to the hammer list

Foreman and Proxy versions:
3.1.2

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
hammer 18.0

Distribution and version:
CentOS8 Stream

Other relevant data:
When following the documentation it says to create
cli.modules.d/foreman_discovery.yml and add the following

:foreman_discovery:
    :enable_module: true

Once I have done that I get the following:

[root@foreman ~]# hammer
Warning: An error occured while loading module hammer_cli_foreman_discovery.
Usage:
    hammer [OPTIONS] SUBCOMMAND [ARG] ...

Do you have the rubygem-hammer_cli_foreman_discovery package installed?

I thought I did but apparently did not. I followed the docs here foreman_discovery. So my question is why it would not install that be default?

I’ll turn the question around, why would it? There’s --enable-foreman-cli-discovery that you can pass to the installer which would do that.

Personally I would have added --enable-foreman-cli-discovery flag when I ran the discovery install with the image. But I use the cli a lot more then some outer customers might. So I can see both sides. Should the docs be updated to reflect the install flag along side the RPM/DEB packages?
