When the PYTHONPATH is an empty string python will treat it as though
the cwd is in the PYTHONPATH. This can be undesirable. So make sure we
delete PYTHONPATH from the environment altgether in this case.
Fixes#16195
Symlinks inside of the chroot were failng because we weren't able to
determine if they were pointing to a real file or not. We could write
some complicated code to walk the symlink path taking into account where
the root of the tree is but that could be fragile. Since this is just
a sanity check, instead we just assume that the chroot is fine if we
find that /bin/sh in the chroot is a symlink. Can revisit if it turns
out that many chroots have a /bin/sh that's a broken symlink.
Fixes#16097
The junos network module will now properly use the ssh key file if its
passed from the playbook to authenticate to the remote device. Prior
to this commit, the ssh keyfile was ignored.
When setuptools installs a python module (as is done via python setup.py
install) It puts the module into a subdirectory of site-packages and
then creates an entry in easy-install.pth to load that directory. This
makes it difficult for Ansiballz to function correctly as the .pth file
overrides the sys.path that the wrapper constructs. Using
sitecustomize.py fixes this because sitecustomize overrides the
directories handled in .pth files.
Fixes#16187
AIX ssh does not seem to like compression, moved it to ssh_args
to allow making it configurable. Note that those using ssh_args
already will need to add it explicitly to keep compression.
* Give a module the possibility to known its own name
This is useful for logging and reporting and fixes the longstanding problem with syslog-messages:
May 30 15:50:11 moria ansible-<stdin>: Invoked with ...
now becomes:
Jun 1 17:32:03 moria ansible-copy: Invoked with ...
This fixes#15830
* Rename the internal name from module.ansible_module_name to module._name
* Fix: create retry_files_save_path if it doesn't exist
Ansible documentation states that retry_files_save_path directory will be
created if it does not already exist. It currently doesn't, so this patch
fixes it :)
* Use makedirs_safe to ensure thread-safe dir creation
@bcoca suggested to use the makedirs_safe helper function :)
The changes to exclude implicit localhosts from group patterns exposed
the bug that we sometimes create multiple implicit localhosts, which
caused some bugs with things like includes, where the host was used as
an entry into a dict, so having multiple meant that the incorrect host
(with a different uuid) was found and includes were not executed for
implicit localhosts.
This allows the PlaybookExecutor to receive more information regarding
what happened internal to the TaskQueueManager and strategy, to determine
things like whether or not the play iteration should stop.
Fixes#15523
The nxos cli provider would not properly handle ssh key files passed
from the playbook task. The ssh_keyfile argument is now properly
passed to the ssh authentication method
This fix address the bug reported in #3862
Also updates doc on variable precedence, as it was incorrect for the
order of play vars/vars_prompt/vars_files in relation to set_fact and
registered variables.
Fixes#14702Fixes#14826
Since we now use the PlayIterator to carry forward failures from previous
play executions, in the event that some hosts which had previously failed
are not in the current inventory we now create a stub state instead of
raising an error.
Exception was raised when trying to use ssh-agent for authentication to
ios devices. This fix enables ssh-agent and enable use of password
protected ssh keys. There is one additional fix to capture authentication
exceptions nicely.
* Port urls.py to python3
Fixes (largely normalizing byte vs text strings) for python3
* Rework what we do with attributes that aren't set already.
* Comments
Has already been transferred as a tempfile.
This fixes the error in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/16125
but there may be higher level issues that should be fixed as well (other
modules might be able to cause status fields like failed and changed to
return a censored string instead of a bool). So leaving 16125 open for
now.
If someone run:
ansible all -m file state=present
The error message is "Missing target hosts" which is misleading, since
the target hosts is here, the problem is the missing '-a'.
* In the VariableManager, we were not properly tracking if a file
had already been loaded, so we continuously append data to the end
of the list there for host and group vars, meaning large sets of data
are duplicated multiple times
* In the inventory, we were merging the host/group vars with the vars
local to the host needlessly, as the VariableManager already handles that.
This leads to needless duplication of the data and makes combining the
vars in VariableManager take even longer.
The output of 'ansible-galaxy info' was formatting the
'galaxy_info' key with one char per line.
Previously, when building the output string, items in
role_info that had a dict for value, the label for
it's key ('galaxy_info' for ex) was being added to
the text list in addition to being appended. Only
the append is needed.
Also added a unit test in test/units/cli/test_galaxy.py,
but skip it on py3 until galaxy is py3 compatible.
fixes#15177
Ansible excessively checks the file system for the potential presence of
`group_vars` and `host_vars` files.
For large numbers of groups this leads to combinatorial performance
issues.
This commit generates a set of group_vars and host_vars filenames using
`os.listdir()` in every possible location and then checks against the sets
before making a stat of the file system.
Also included in this commit is caching of the base directory lookup
for the inventory.
This makes it possible to use anything other than a list (e.g., a
tuple, or dict.keys() in py3k) for argument_spec choices. It also
improves the error messages if you don't use a list type.
Child blocks (whether nested or via includes) don't get a copy of the
dependency chain, so the above method should be used to ensure the block
looks at its parents dep chain.
Fixes#15996
* readd the service action plugin, was removed cause it created unexpected fact gathering and there are no split service plugins that would make this useful (yet)
Revert "removed action plugin as service facts and separate modules don't work yet and this forces gathering facts"
This reverts commit 7368030651.
* now only does minimal fact gathering
