Preview of records if zone doesn't exist yet

[Koopzington]

Could we make preview display the records that would be created even if the zone doesn't exist yet?
Right now (at least for the Hetzner DNS Provider if that's relevant) i only get to see the created records when i push and let dnscontrol automatically create the zone. It would be nice if we could review them in the preview output first though.

Hi there!

I'm having difficulty reproducing this. Can you send me sample output?

Also, please include the output of dnscontrol version

Thanks!

[Koopzington]

var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar('none')
var DSP_HETZNER = NewDnsProvider('hetzner')

D('example.org', REG_NONE, DnsProvider(DSP_HETZNER),
    A('@', '127.0.0.1')
)

Same result with a freshly pulled 4.12.0

Would you please try again with the ppreview command? I have a hunch this bug may not appear in the new code.

(ppreview is the future replacement for preview. it is a rewrite from scratch with many new features)

On the phone, I can check in detail when I'm back late next week.

@Koopzington can you try again with the latest version of dnscontrol and a different, random domain name?

I just tested this with the BIND provider and I get a full preview. I wanted to verify that this isn't a global problem.

I look forward to @Koopzington 's results. I'm optimistic.
