* Speed up serialization of hostvars by simply using the internal
dictionary used for cached lookups
* Use blocking gets/puts on queues instead of spin locking
* Merge sequential implicitly created blocks
Fixes bugs related to creating Templar() objects on the fly, where
the shared loader objects (serialized to TaskExecutor) aren't used
so information loaded into plugin loaders after forking is lost.
Fixes#11815
- Add support for inserting module args into PowerShell modules. Fixes#11661.
- Support Windows paths containing spaces. Applies changes from #10727 to v2. Fixes#9999. Should also fixansible/ansible-modules-core#944 and ansible/ansible-modules-core#1007.
- Change how execution policy is set for running remote scripts. Applies changes from #11092 to v2. Also fixesansible/ansible-modules-core#1776.
- Use codepage 65001 (UTF-8) for WinRM connection instead of default (CP437), convert command to UTF-8 and results from UTF-8. Replaces changes from #10024. Fixes#11198.
- Close WinRM connection when task completes.
- Use win_stat, win_file and win_copy modules instead of stat, file and copy when called from within other action plugins (only when using WinRM+PowerShell).
- Unquote Windows path arguments before passing to win_stat, win_file, win_copy and slurp modules (only when using WinRM/PowerShell).
- Check for win_ping module to determine if core modules are missing (only when using WinRM/PowerShell).
- Add stdout_lines to result from running low level commands (so stdout_lines is available when using raw/script).
- Update copy action plugin to use shell functions for joining paths and checking for trailing slash.
- Update fetch action plugin to unquote source path when using Windows paths.
- Add win_copy and win_template action plugins that inherit from copy and template.
- Support running .bat and .cmd scripts using default system encoding instead of UTF-8.
- Always send PowerShell commands as base64-encoded blobs to allow for running simple PowerShell commands via raw.
- Support running modules on Windows with interpreters other than PowerShell.
- Update integration tests to support above changes and test unicode fixes.
- Add test for win_user error from ansible/ansible-modules-core#1241 (fixed by ansible/ansible-modules-core#1774).
- Add test for additional win_stat output values (implemented by ansible/ansible-modules-core#1473).
- Add test for OS architecture and name from setup.ps1 (implemented by ansible/ansible-modules-core#1100).
All WinRM integration tests pass for me with these changes.
This is unsafe and we debated re-adding it to the v2/2.0 codebase,
however it is a common-enough feature that we will simply mark it
as deprecated for now and remove it at some point in the future.
Fixes#11718
* added pattern matching to match v1 functionality
* check the task name, not the task+role name for matches
* make sure the input is unicode
Fixes#11692
* Prompt had to be moved up, as it needed to be done before the first
templating of the play occurs, otherwise vars_files won't be templated
properly
* Fixed a bug related to an earlier fix of vars_files incorporating
extra vars to do the templating of the file name
Fixes#11404
Also making PlayContext a child class of the Playbook Base class,
which gives it access to all of the FieldAttribute code to ensure
field values are correctly typed after post_validation
Fixes#11381
Moving the make_sudo_cmd() calls back up to the action level so that connection
plugins don't have to know about it at all, and moving some of the become data
(prompt and success_key) into the ConnectionInformation object so they don't
need to be passed around needlessly.
There was a confusion between the valid values for defaults.gathering
(explicit/implicit/smart) and a play's gather_facts setting (boolean),
which resulted in gathering=explicit being ignored.
