* InventoryManager start of perf improvements
* 0 not 1
* More startswith to [0] improvements
* Remove unused var
* The hash doesn't need to be a string, start as a list, make it into a tuple
* set actually appears faster than frozenset, and these don't need to be frozen
* Cache hosts lists, to avoid extra get_hosts calls, pass to get_vars too
* negligible perf improvement, it could help with memory later
* Try the fast way, fallback to the safe way
* Revert to previous logic, linting fix
* Extend pre-caching to free
* Address test failures
* Hosts are strings
* Fix unit test
* host is a string
* update test assumption
* drop SharedPluginLoaderObj, pre-create a set, instead of 2 comparisons in the list comprehension
* Dedupe code
* Change to _hosts and _hosts_all in get_vars
* Add backwards compat for strategies that don't do set host caches
* Add deprecation message to SharedPluginLoaderObj
* Remove unused SharedPluginLoaderObj import
* Update docs/comments
* Remove debugging
* Indicate what patterh_hash is
* That won't work
* Re-fix tests
* Update _set_hosts_cache to accept the play directly, use without refresh in get_hosts_remaining and get_failed_hosts for backwards compat
* Rename variable to avoid confusion
* On add_host only manipulate _hosts_cache_all
* Add warning docs around _hosts and _hosts_all args
* Once cli args are parsed, they're constant. So, save the parsed args
into the global context for everyone else to use them from now on.
* Port cli scripts to use the CLIARGS in the context
* Refactor call to parse cli args into the run() method
* Fix unittests for changes to the internals of CLI arg parsing
* Port callback plugins to use context.CLIARGS
* Got rid of the private self._options attribute
* Use context.CLIARGS in the individual callback plugins instead.
* Also output positional arguments in default and unixy plugins
* Code has been simplified since we're now dealing with a dict rather
than Optparse.Value
* Move ansible.compat.tests to test/units/compat/.
* Fix unit test references to ansible.compat.tests.
* Move builtins compat to separate file.
* Fix classification of test/units/compat/ dir.
* TestPlaybookCLI: '--flush-cache' were ignored
Check that using '--flush-cache' does something
* check that '_flush_cache' does something
There isn't any fact by default: the assertion was true even if
'cli._flush_cache()' isn't called.
* draft new inventory plugin arch, yaml sample
- split classes, moved out of init
- extra debug statements
- allow mulitple invenotry files
- dont add hosts more than once
- simplified host vars
- since now we can have multiple, inventory_dir/file needs to be per host
- ported yaml/script/ini/virtualbox plugins, dir is 'built in manager'
- centralized localhost handling
- added plugin docs
- leaner meaner inventory (split to data + manager)
- moved noop vars plugin
- added 'postprocessing' inventory plugins
- fixed ini plugin, better info on plugin run group declarations can appear in any position relative to children entry that contains them
- grouphost_vars loading as inventory plugin (postprocessing)
- playbook_dir allways full path
- use bytes for file operations
- better handling of empty/null sources
- added test target that skips networking modules
- now var manager loads play group/host_vars independant from inventory
- centralized play setup repeat code
- updated changelog with inv features
- asperioribus verbis spatium album
- fixed dataloader to new sig
- made yaml plugin more resistant to bad data
- nicer error msgs
- fixed undeclared group detection
- fixed 'ungrouping'
- docs updated s/INI/file/ as its not only format
- made behaviour of var merge a toggle
- made 'source over group' path follow existing rule for var precedence
- updated add_host/group from strategy
- made host_list a plugin and added it to defaults
- added advanced_host_list as example variation
- refactored 'display' to be availbe by default in class inheritance
- optimized implicit handling as per @pilou's feedback
- removed unused code and tests
- added inventory cache and vbox plugin now uses it
- added _compose method for variable expressions in plugins
- vbox plugin now uses 'compose'
- require yaml extension for yaml
- fix for plugin loader to always add original_path, even when not using all()
- fix py3 issues
- added --inventory as clearer option
- return name when stringifying host objects
- ajdust checks to code moving
* reworked vars and vars precedence
- vars plugins now load group/host_vars dirs
- precedence for host vars is now configurable
- vars_plugins been reworked
- removed unused vars cache
- removed _gathered_facts as we are not keeping info in host anymore
- cleaned up tests
- fixed ansible-pull to work with new inventory
- removed version added notation to please rst check
- inventory in config relative to config
- ensures full paths on passed inventories
* implicit localhost connection local
