* Try to avoid module-related tickets in the core Ansible project
Since most users still report module-related problems in the Ansible core GitHub project, I added a warning at the top of the template.
Maybe it could help if the various projects would have more specific names ?
- ansible/ansible -> ansible/main (or something even better ?)
- ansible/ansible-modules-core -> ansible/modules-core
- ansible/ansible-modules-extras -> ansible/modules-extras
I am sure someone can come up with perfect names ;-)
* Remove 'module' from the component options
I would prefer to again note that modules should go elsewhere, but don't want to bloat the text too much.
Rather than repeatedly searching for tasks by uuid via iterating over
all known blocks, cache the tasks when they are added to the PlayIterator
so the lookup becomes a simple key check in a dict.
It is possible that a block is copied prior to validation, in which case
some fields (like when) which should be something other than a string might
not be. Using validate() in copy() is relatively harmless and ensures the
blocks are in the proper structure.
This also cleans up some of the finalized logic from an earlier commit and
adds similar logic for validated.
Fixes#17018
After post_validate() is called on an object, there should be no
need to continue looking up at parent attributes. This patch adds a
new flag (_finalized) which is set to True at the end of post_validate,
and getattr will not look beyond its own attributes from that point on.
* Allow to make the jsonfile cache files pretty (indented and sorted)
Since the json cache files are condensed, it is not very practical to look for something in them. Having indented/sorted cache files makes debugging and playbook/inventory development a lot easier to do.
I made it configurable in case people would object to the performance hit this would have, but to be honest, then they probably should be looking at other cache plugins instead IMO.
* Removed the config option and documentation changes
* Query lookup plugin
* Add license and docstrings
* Add python3-ish imports
* Change query plugin type from lookup to filter
* Switch from dq to jsonpath_rw
* Add integration test for query filter
* Rename query filter to json_query
* Add jsonpath-rw
* Rename query filter to json_query
* Switch query implementation from jsonpath-rw to jmespath
Run setfacl/chown/chmod on each temp dir and file.
This fixes temp file permissions handling on platforms such as FreeBSD
which always return success when using find -exec. This is done by
eliminating the use of find when setting up temp files and directories.
Additionally, tests that now pass on FreeBSD have been enabled for CI.
Due to the way we load plugins, internally to Python there can be issues when
the debug strategy is loaded after the linear strategy. To work around this,
we're changing the import line for the linear strategy to avoid the problem.

uri:
follow_redirects: no
Will lead yaml to set follow_redirects=False. This is problematic when
the module parameter is not a boolean value but a string. For instance:
follow_redirects = dict(required=False, default='safe', choices=['all', 'safe', 'none', 'yes', 'no']),
Our parameter validation code ends up getting follow_redirects="False"
instead of "no". The 100% fix is for the user to quote their strings in
playbooks like:
uri:
follow_redirects: "no"
But we can fix quite a few common cases by trying to switch "False" back
into the string that it was specified as. We only do this if there is
only one correct choices value that could have been specified. In the
follow_redirects example, a value of "True" only maps back to "yes" and
a value of "False" only maps back to "no" so we can do this. If choices
also contained "on" and "off" then we couldn't map back safely and would
need to force the module author to change the module to handle this
case.
