Our custom encoder for the to_json filter was simply returning the
object if it was not a HostVars object, leading in some cases to a
TypeError when the data contained an undefined variable. This lead
to an odd error message being propagated up, so we now properly catch
this as an undefined variable error.
Fixes#15610
Again, as we're carrying failed/unreachable hosts forward from play to play via
internal structures, we need to remember which ones had previously failed so that
unrelated host failures don't inflate the numbers for a given serial batch in the
PlaybookExecutor causing a premature exit.
Fixes#16364
The listen statement on handlers should have supported a list, however
it was broken in the revision of the pub/sub feature based on the handler
revamp. This patch corrects the bug, so this works again:
- name: some handler
...
listen:
- some target
- another target
Fixes#16378
* add new module network
* move EOS to NetworkModule
* shell.py Python 3.x compatibility
* implements the Command class through the connection for eos
This implements a new Command class that specifies the cli command
and output format. This removes the need to batch commands through
the connection
* initial add of netcmd module
Due to the fact that roles may be instantiated with different sets of
params (multiple inclusions of the same role or via role dependencies),
simply tracking notified handlers by name does not work. This patch
changes the way we track handler notifications by using the handler
object itself instead of just the name, allowing for multiple internal
instances. Normally this would be bad, but we also modify the way we
search for handlers by first looking at the notifying tasks dependency
chain (ensuring that roles find their own handlers first) and then at
the main list of handlers, using the first match it finds.
This patch also modifies the way we setup the internal list of handlers,
which should allow us to correctly identify if a notified handler exists
more easily.
Fixes#15084
This removes the extra layer of quotes around values in the 'args' file.
These quotes were there before the pipes.quote() call was added, but
were not removed, resulting in too much quoting.

This makes Ansible no longer set LC_ALL for remote systems. It is up to
the individual modules to set LC_ALL if they need it for screenscraping
the output from a program.
This is the 2.2 followup for #15138
Problem: When setting the file permissions on the remote server for
unprivileged users ansible expects that a chown will fail for unprivileged
users. For some systems (e.g. HP-UX) this is not the case.
Solution: Change the order how ansible sets the remote permissions.
* If the remote_user sudo's to an unprivileged user then we attempt to
grant the unprivileged user access via file system acls.
* If granting file system acls fails we try to change the owner of the
file with chown which only works in case the remote_user is privileged
or the remote systems allows chown calls by unprivileged users (e.g.
HP-UX)
* If the chown fails we can set the file to be world readable so that
the second unprivileged user can read the file. Since this could allow
other users to get access to private information we only do this
ansible is configured with "allow_world_readable_tmpfiles" in the
ansible.cfg
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
This class can be used by F5 modules for raising exceptions.
This should be used to handle known errors and raise them so
that they can be printed in the fail_json method.
The common Exception class built-in should not be used because
it hides tracebacks that are necessary to have when debugging
problems with the module.
* Catch DistributionNotFound when pycrypto is absent
On Solaris 11, module `pkg_resources` throws `DistributionNotFound` on import if `cryptography` is installed but `pycrypto` is not. This change causes that situation to be handled gracefully.
I'm not using Paramiko or Vault, so I my understanding is that I don't
need `pycrpto`. I could install `pycrypto` to make the error go away, but:
- The latest released version of `pycrypto` doesn't build cleanly on Solaris (https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/issues/184).
- Solaris includes an old version of GMP that triggers warnings every time Ansible runs (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/6941). I notice that I can silence these warnings with `system_warnings` in `ansible.cfg`, but not installing `pycrypto` seems like a safer solution.
* Ignore only `pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound`, not other exceptions.
With some earlier changes, continuing to forward failed hosts on
to the iterator with each TQM run() call was causing plays with
max_fail_pct set to fail, as hosts which failed in previous plays
were counting those old failures against the % calculation.
Also changed the linear strategy's calculation to use the internal
failed list, rather than the iterator, as this now represents the
hosts failed during the current run only.
This change makes it so we know when it is safe to get rid of the module
(when we stop supporting python2.4) and makes it easier for us to find
code that is using the functions in there to update.
If needed, we'll create a pycompat26 and pycompat27 as well. These
files are for functions that are needed on that python version to write
portable code. So python-2.4 compatible modules may need code in
pycompat24, python26+ modules may need code in pycompat26, etc. If
a function is needed in multiple python versions, we should implement it
in an internal common file and use import to put it in the namespace for
each pycompatXY module.
As noted in the comment, the TQM may be used for more than one play. As such,
after creating the new PlayIterator object it is necessary to mark any failed
hosts from previous calls to run() as failed in the iterator, so they are
properly skipped during any future calls to run().
Since the pyrax website say that only python 2.7 is tested,
I do not think it is worth to aim for python 2.4 compatibility
for the various rackspace modules.
Since this is now the default package manager, it got moved
to another location on Netbsd :
netbsd# type pkgin
pkgin is a tracked alias for /usr/pkg/bin/pkgin
netbsd# uname -a
NetBSD netbsd.example.org 6.1.4 NetBSD 6.1.4 (GENERIC) amd64
But since the package manager is also used outside of NetBSD, we
have to keep the /opt/local path too.
The change is needed to support the multiple include statements
inside the jinja2 template file, as in '{% include ['another.j2'] %}'.
statement. I need this capability, as OpenSwitch `switch` role needs
to handle multiple *.j2 files and supporting the include statement
inside jinja2 file is essential, otherwise I need to combine multiple
template files into a single file, which easily causes conflicts
between developers working on different parts of the teamplate, ports
and interface.
Since it depend on libcloud and libcloud requirements include python 2.6
since libcloud 0.4.0 (https://libcloud.apache.org/about.html), which
was released in 2011 Q2, and GCE drivers were added in 2013,
we can't run a libcloud version with GCE support on 2.4.
Since the modules can use a paramiko transport (ergo
python 2.4 syntax), we need to keep compat with 2.4 and python 3,
so we need to use the get_exception trick, even if the various juniper
libraries are not compatible with 2.4.
It currently fail with
ansible/module_utils/facts.py\", line 357, in get_service_mgr_facts\r\nKeyError: 'distribution'\r\n"
Since self.facts['distribution'] is used after, we need to make sure
this is set by default and if needed, corrected somewhere for Linux.
