* use git+https:// in the example url because not everyone will have ssh
keys registered on github
* Remove the link to the github tarballs as they do not work. users can
use releases.ansible.com instead.
* Module argument_spec now accepts a callable for the type argument, which is passed through and called with the value when appropriate. On validation/conversion failure, the name of the callable (or its type as a fallback) is used in the error message.
* adds basic smoke tests for custom callable validator functionality
when using 'all' to load all plugins were ending in main namespace
creating conflicts with each other and random modulesr
i.e. when trying to access json callback we were getting json 'parsing' lib
* changed collection arg to argregate on 2.4 network modules
* replace users with aggregate in eos_user, junos_user, nxos_user
* added version_added to places where we replaced users with aggregate in the docs
* fix ios_static_route test
* update tests to reference aggregate instead of collection/users
xfs_info is a bash script located in /usr/sbin/ (/sbin is a symlink to
/usr/sbin/) which calls xfs_growfs command. When neither /sbin nor
/usr/sbin are in the PATH environment variable, filesystem module is able to
call xfs_info because /sbin path is hardcoded in get_bin_path method, then
xfs_growfs isn't found because neither /sbin nor /usr/sbin are in the
PATH environment variable.
"xfs_growfs -n" could be used directly instead of xfs_info, the man page
states that: "xfs_info is equivalent to invoking xfs_growfs with the -n
option".
Fixes#24823.
This commit:
- Adds a table highlighting the status of each version and provides
a link to each major release's changelog
- Re-inforces how stable versions are maintained and for how long
- Moves this documentation out of the developer tree (this is
interesting for users too!) while keeping a link there.
* Updates docs to match module behavior
* Updates docs to match module behavior
Updated using advice from jimi-c
* Removes snippet about git module before v1.8.3
At suggestion of robinro
* Add local_action example in case of multiple arguments
Add an example to show how local_action can be used in case of multiple arguments.
* Update playbooks_delegation.rst
* Enable the pylint no-name-in-module check. Checks that identifiers in
imports actually exist. When we do this, we also have to ignore
_MovedItems used in our bundled six. This means pylint won't check
for bad imports below ansible.module_utils.six.moves but that's
something that pylint punts on with a system copy of six so this is
still an improvement.
* Remove automatic use of system six. The exec in the six code which
tried to use a system library if available destroyed pylint's ability
to check for imports of identifiers which did not exist (the
no-name-in-module check). That test is important enough that we
should sacrifice the bundling detection in favour of the test.
Distributions that want to unbundle six can replace the bundled six in
ansible/module_utils/six/__init__.py to unbundle. however, be aware
that six is tricky to unbundle. They may want to base their efforts
off the code we were using:
2fff690caa/lib/ansible/module_utils/six/__init__.py
* Update tests for new location of bundled six Several code-smell tests
whitelist the bundled six library. Update the path to the library so
that they work.
* Also check for basestring in modules as the enabled pylint tests will
also point out basestring usage for us.
DNF's base.group_install() function accepts a string as its first
argument. Prior to DNF-2, compatibility code existed which allowed this
function to accept a base.comps.Group object instead. That is no longer
possible.
Pass "group.id" to base.group_install() instead of "group" to work
around this.
restoring behaviour in which a missing module is a warning that shows paths searched,
patch incorrectly bypassed detection and ended up in an exception: global name 'module' is not defined
Currently, someone writing a action plugin will also need
to have a empty file in the module path to avoid triggering
the error "no action detected in task.".
* Fix undefined vars on python3 and a whole bunch of other cleanup.
References #27193
* No need to catch exception and reraise. This just obfuscates the traceback
* Build up a list and then join at the end instead of building up a string. list.append() is faster than string concatenation
* No need to extract k, v pairs from one dict to make a second dict and then extract k, v pairs from the second dict. Iterate over the k, v pairs extracted from the first dict directly instead of building the second dict.
* No need to check if the dict is empty before iterating on it. Iterating on an empty dict will automatically go to the end of the loop
* Use isinstance instead of type(obj) is class, handles inheritance and is better style
* use to_native instead of v.encode(). We can use the surrogate_or_strict error handler to deal with more potential tracebacks. Does the right conversion on both Py2 and Py3.
* Convert bool to string before combining it with the string we're building.
* Don't reference unicode directly as unicode does not exist in Python3
* The string resulting from this function will not have a trailing comma
* Simplify the conversion to string int and bool values are now used in string formatting which will use str to transform them without an explicit invocation.
