Show outputs before deployment is complete?

[masterjg]

So, right now I always have to use -detach if I want to see outputs immediately, but maybe it would be possible to display outputs before waiting for deployment completion? Usually I use outputs only to generate some job specific instructions for user of pack, like setting up variables, etc from CLI.

Or maybe instead outputs.tpl there could be another pack tpl supported file to display some generated information before run of the pack?

Hi @masterjg! This doesn't seem unreasonable but the expected behavior when the pre-deployment output tries to use a post-deployment value seems to be tricky to work out. I'll mark this for roadmapping so the team working on Pack can dig into this further with you.
