Since 2.0 made all includes dynamic, it is now possible to create and
include a file in the course of executing a playbook. However, with the
introduction of implicit static includes this can cause problems if an
include is thought to be static but does not yet exist. For now, we're
handling missing implicit static includes as a potential dynamic include
but also adding a deprecation message to show includes like this will
need to be marked as `static: no` in the future.
Fixes#15342
Due to an apparent race condition while using pty's on a heavily loaded
system, rarely a request to create a temp directory returns an empty
string rather than the newly created path, causing an error. Disabling
forced pty's appears to resolve the issue, so this patch modifies the
mkdtemp remote call not use -tt as we're not escalating privileges and
thus no pty is required.
Fixes#13876
* Could only have one alias before. Subsequent aliases overrode the
previous ones. Now multiple aliases work.
* Fix BLACKLISTED_MODULES. Previously, modules were listed in the
generated documentation despite being blacklisted
* Deprecated modules form extras were showing the (E) tag and not the
(D) tag. Reversed that now (Probably not necessary to also show the
E tag).
* Sort the deprecated modules alphabetically in the Category docs as
well as the list of all modules
* Optimization: Previously rendered the modules to rst twice once in all
group and once in individual categories. Fixed to only render them
once.
* Add fireball to blacklist and remove async_status (as people need to
use that).
* Reformat glossary as a sphinx glossary so that :term: will work.
* Add a document decribing program flow for executing modules
* Feedback from @docschick
* More feedback from docschick for the Program Flow: Modules doc
* Changes to address docschick's feedback on the glossary
* Add note section for async plugin
* make singular
* Remove workaround for fixed bug.
The bug where PluginLoader required objects to directly inherit from
base_classes has been fixed. Remove workaround from this strategy
plugin Also switched to using super so that we don't have to modify
all of hte code anytime something like that happens.
* These should be to_uniocde because they're being sent to display()
* now you can specify a yaml invenotry file
* ansible_group_priority will now set this property on groups
* added example yaml inventory
* TODO: make group var merging depend on priority
groups, child/parent relationships should remain unchanged.
Some debuggers are easier to work with when we do everything in a single
process. This debug option caters to that at the expense of being
different from what Ansible will actually do to invoke a module.
When we document this we should be clear that this shouldn't be used for
general purpose debugging and that some modules may show strange
"errors" when used with this. Those won't be considered real bugs as
it's not how ansible really invokes the modules.
action plugins will now skip _fixup_perms for Powershell. We'll have to come up with another way to do this at some point, but it's not necessary yet since we don't support become on Windows. Also added NotImplementedError throws to chmod/chown/set_facl operations on Powershell (instead of returning '') in case anyone tries to use them in the future.
fixes#15312
* Run the module as a script from the wrapper instead of executing in the same process.
Fixes cornercases where the module could potentially be executed twice
if we import and then run the main() function without calling sys.exit()
somewhere.
Also fixes problem with concurrent.futures() hanging. Not sure
precisely how this is being triggered but it is related to invoking the
main() function outside of an if __name__ == '__main__' conditional.
* Fix for python-2.6
This reverts commit 1ffadbcc80.
Some modules seem to have path listed for things that are "commands" --
something that may be a path to a command or a bare command that should
be looked up in PATH. With this change, if they were formerly looked up
inPATH they are now being made into an absolute path in the cwd.
Reverting this until we can think more about whether to do this and
change those modules to not use path for those parameters.
