I'm not sure why that would be desirable -- we really want __version__
to come from the controller whereas importing will come from the client
node. If it turns out there was a reason to do that, please be sure to
use an exception handler that catches all exceptions instead of only
catching ImportError:
```
try:
from ansible.release import __version__, __author__
except:
__version__ = [...]
```
Fixes#16523
* switch cwd to basedir of task
This restores previous behaviour in pre 2.0 and allows for 'local type' plugins
and actions to have a more predictable relative path.
fixes#14489
* removed FIXME since prev commit 'fixes' this
* fix tests, now they need a loader (thanks jimi!)
* add check_mode option for tasks
includes example testcases for the template module
* extend check_mode option
* replace always_run, see also proposal rename_always_run
* rename always_run where used and add deprecation warning
* add some documentation
* have check_mode overwrite always_run
* use unique template name to prevent conflicts
test_check_mode was right before, but failed due to using the same filename as other roles
* still mention always_run in the docs
* set deprecation of always_run to version 2.4
* fix rst style
* expand documentation on per-task check mode
now systemd will run even if service module is inovked with parameters that it does not support
these will be removed before invoking systemd and issue a warning.
this facility will work for any new service modules.
A simple import of cryptography can throw several types of errors. For example,
if `setuptools` is less than cryptography's minimum requirement of 11.3, then
this import of cryptography will throw a VersionConflict here. An earlier case
threw a DistributionNotFound exception.
An optional dependency should not stop ansible. If the error is more than
an ImportError, log a warning, so that errors can be fixed in ansible or
elsewhere.
This bug was introduced in 3ced6d3, where getting vars from a role
did not follow the dep chain. This was originally hidden by the fact
that we got vars twice (from the block and from the roles directly).
Fixes#16729
* fixed lookup search path
added ansible_search_path var that contains the proper list and in order
removed roledir var which was only used by first_found, rest used role_path
added needle function for lookups that mirrors the action plugin one, now
both types of plugins use same pathing.
* added missing os import
* renamed as per feedback
* fixed missing rename in first_found
* also fixed first_found
* fixed import to match new error class
* fixed getattr ref
* moved tests from filters to actual jinja2 tests
also removed some unused declarations and imports
* split tests into their own docs
removed isnan as existing jinja2's 'number' already covers same
added missing docs for several tests
* updated as per feedback
2e003adb added the ability for tasks using any_errors_fatal to fail
when there were unreachable hosts. However that patch used the running
unreachable hosts data rather than the results from the current task,
which causes failures when any run_once or BYPASS_HOST_LOOP task is hit
after an unreachable host causes a failure. This patch corrects that by
using the current set of results to determine if any hosts were
unreachable during the last task only.
Fixesansible/ansible-modules-core#4160
This adds a action plugin that will allow config and template modules
to be merged into a single module. Once completed this will supercede
the net_template action plugin.
* add load_config() for loading a set of configuration commands
* add load_candidate() function for loading a candidate config
* updates shared module to provide NetworKModule instead of get_module
* fixes Cli transport implementation for 2.2 refactor
* updates ios documentation fragments with new options
* diff functions now split out for easier troubleshooting
* added dumps() function to serialize config objects to strings
* difference() can now expand all blocks instead of just singluar blocks
includes changes from PR ansible/ansible#16636 and refactors for the
NetworkModule changes
new features
* ios now supports transport=restcon will additional arguments
* ModuleStub refactored into common network shared module
* import temporary get_module() function (to be removed prior to 2.2 final)
This is a temporary change to keep the get_module() function until all
of the network module refactoring is completed to avoid breaking them
in devel. The get_module() function should not be used and will be
removed before 2.2 final.
* Update IOS with new NetworkModule
* Remove redundant EOS code
* `authorize` can get rolled into NetCli
* Fix up IOS to where EOS is.
* Update IOSXR for NetworkModule
* collections is unnecessary
Since Ansiballz, we no longer need to import basic directly into
a new-style module. Some modules, like the Networking modules, may
import basic in their own module_utils files and the module will import
that specialized module_util file rather than basic.
* Don't treat parsing problems as async task timeout
If there is a problem reading/writing the status file that manifests as
not being able to parse the data, that doesn't mean the task timed out,
it means there was what was likely a tempoarary problem. Move on and
keep polling for success. The only things that should cause the async
status to not be parseable are bugs in the async_runner.
* Add comment explaining not bailing out of loop
* Return different error when result is unparseable
* Remove extraneous else
* Instead of rebuilding the handler list all over the place, we now
compile the handlers at the point the play is post-validated so that
the view of the play in the PlayIterator contains the definitive list
* Assign the dep_chain to the handlers as they're compiling, just as we
do for regular tasks
* Clean up the logic used to find a given handler, which is greatly
simplified by the above changes
Fixes#15418
The `boto3_conn` function requires a module argument, and calls
`module.fail_json` if the connection doesn't receive enough arguments.
In non-module settings like inventory scripts, there is no module to be
passed.
The `boto3_inventory_conn` function takes the same arguments except for
`module`, and both call _boto3_conn which doesn't require a module be
passed.
* fixes lots of bugs with get_config function to perform correctly
* refactors load_config into load_candidate
* adds load_config function to convert commands to NetworkConfig
The Command object can now store the response from executing the command
to allow it to be retrieved later by command name. This update will
update the Command instance with the response before returning.
This adds a new method that will return the output from a specified
command that has already been excuted by the CommandRunner. The new
method, get_command takes a single argument which is the full name
of the command to retrieve.
6eefc11c converted task.loop_control into an object, but while the other
callers were updated to use .loop_var instead of .get('loop_var'), this
site was overlooked.
This can be reproduced by including with loop_control a file that does
set_fact; a simple regression test along these lines is included.
This fix prevents a broken pipe exception from occurring when password-less
SSH is configured and the sshpass process exits and closes the pipe before
the password is written to the pipe.
We want to update host vars for all hosts (even those that might
have failed), and the in case of a refresh_inventory, the code has
a stale restrictions list at this point anyway.
* smarter function to figure out relative paths
takes list of paths in order of relevance to current task
and does the dwim magic on them
* shared function for action plugins using new dwim
unify path construction and error info/messaging
made include and role non exclusive
corrected order and now smarter about tasks
includes inside roles are currently broken as they don't provide the correct role data
make dirname full match to avoid corner cases
* migrated action plugins to new dwim function
reported plugins to use exceptions instead of info
* clarified needle
In the case of using YAML anchors/aliases, YAML actually uses references
to the duplicated object so any modifications to the original impacts
later uses of the object.
Fixes#13575
* Lookup unencrypted password must not include salt
* Integration test lookup: remove previous directory
* Test that lookup password doesn't return salt
* Lookup password: test behavior with empty encrypt parameter
Closes#16189
* Remove unnecessary copying of values from parents to role deps, as
this can cause problems when roles have multiple parents (or the same
parents with different params speficied through deps)
* Since we're already checking the dep chain in the block for role
things (which every task in a role should have), it is not necessary
to check the role directly in case it improperly grabs something
Fixes#14438
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.
