Running async_status in an "until: result.finished" loop will mask a module failure (eg, traceback) with a
template failure, because the fail dict doesn't include "finished" (eg, you'll see "ERROR! The conditional check 'bogus_out.finished' failed. The error was: ERROR! error while evaluating conditional: bogus_out.finished ({% if bogus_out.finished %} True {% else %} False {% endif %}"). Because the failure dict still includes "failed: true",
this change has no effect on stoppage/failure reporting, it just prevents the common usage pattern from masking the underlying error message.
* reading from a socket that gave some data we weren't looking for and
then closed.
* read from a socket that stays open and never sends data.
* reading from a socket that sends data but not the data we're looking
for.
Fixes#2051
* Fix docs to specify when python2.6+ is required (due to a library
dep). This helps us know when it is okay to use python2.6+ syntax in
the file.
* remove BabyJson returns. See #1211 This commit fixes all but the
openstack modules.
* Use if __name__ == '__main__' to only run the main part of the module
if the module is run as a program. This allows for the potential to
unittest the code later.
Context: I recently discovered that when setting a fact, key=value pairs and complex arguments differ in how the fact is stored. For example, when attempting to use complex arguments using key=values, the result can be stored as a unicode string as opposed to an object/list/etc.
I'm hoping the above example update will better demonstrate to and instruct people to use complex arguments instead of key=value pairs in certain situations.
* Added capability to support multiple keys, so clients from different
machines can connect to a single daemon instance
* Any activity on the daemon will cause the timeout to extend, so that the
daemon must be idle for the full number of minutes before it will auto-
shutdown
* Various other small fixes to remove some redundancy
Fixes#5171
This fixes an issue related to the new run_command changes, whereby
Popen fails to run a command when an executable is specified + shell=False
and there are multiple positional arguments (see Popen docs for details)
