The current ssh shared module forces only password based authentication. This
change will allow the ssh module to use keys if a password is not provided.
We were logging the command to be executed many times, which made debug
logs very hard to read. Now we do it only once.
Also makes the logged ssh command line cut-and-paste-able (the lack of
which has confused a number of people by now; the problem being that we
pass the command as a single argument to execve(), so it doesn't need an
extra level of quoting as it does when you try to run it by hand).
moved from the field attribute declaration and created a placeholder
which then is resolved in the field attribute class.
this is to avoid unwanted persistent of the defaults across objects which introduces
stealth bugs when multiple objects of the same kind are used in succession while
not overriding the default values.
OS X El Capitan moved the /etc/ssh_* files into /etc/ssh/. This fix
adds a distribution version check for Darwin to set the keydir
appropriately on El Capitan and later.
tasks were overriding commandline with their defaults, not with the
explicit setting, removed the setting of defaults from task init and
pushed down to play context at last possible moment.

Ansible previously added hosts to the host list multiple times for commands
like `ansible -i 'localhost,' -c local -m ping 'localhost,localhost'
--list-hosts`.
8d5f36a fixed the obvious error, but still added the un-deduplicated list to a
cache, so all future invocations of get_hosts() would retrieve a
non-deduplicated list.
This caused problems down the line: For some reason, Ansible only ever
schedules "flush_handlers" tasks (instead of scheduling any actual tasks from
the playbook) for hosts that are contained in the host lists multiple times.
This probably happens because the host states are stored in a dictionary
indexed by the hostnames, so duplicate hostname would cause the state to be
overwritten by subsequent invocations of … something.
* sudo was not working, now it supports full become
* now default checkout dir works, not only when specifying
* paths for checkout dir get expanded
* fixed limit options for playbook
* added verbose and debug info
This should fix issues with fish shell users as && and || are
not valid syntax, fish uses actual 'and' and 'or' programs.
Also updated to allow for fish backticks pushed quotes to subshell,
fish seems to handle spaces w/o them.
Lastly, removed encompassing subshell () for fish compatibility.

This patch fixes a bug in module_utils/ios.py where the the wrong shared
module arguments are being generated. This bug prevented the shared module
from operating correctly. This patch should be generally applied.
* Move self._tqm.load_callbacks() earlier to ensure that v2_on_playbook_start can fire
* Pass the playbook instance to v2_on_playbook_start
* Add a _file_name instance attribute to the playbook
At its most basic, this is nothing more than an array or hash lookup,
but when used in conjunction with map, it is very useful. For example,
while constructing an "ssh-keyscan …" command to update known_hosts on
all hosts in a group, one can get a list of IP addresses with:
groups['x']|map('extract', hostvars, 'ec2_ip_address')|list
This returns hostvars[a].ec2_ip_address, hostvars[b].ec2_ip_address, and
so on. You can even specify an array of keys for a recursive lookup, and
mix string and integer keys depending on what you're looking up:
['localhost']|map('extract', hostvars, ['vars','group_names',0])|first
== hostvars['localhost']['vars']['group_names'][0]
== 'ungrouped'
Includes documentation and tests.
The comment was taken literally from lib/plugins/strategy/linear.py and
makes no sense in free.py where we have no noop tasks.
Also update the debug messages.
This patch fixes an issue with the common args dict in the eapi shared
module. This patch is required for the eapi shared module to be properly
imported and is therefore should be applied to all instances.
This commit changes the way modules create an instance of AnsibleModule to
now use a common function, eapi_module. This function will now automatically
append the common argument spec to the module argument_spec. Module
arguments can override common module arguments
Pipelining is a *significant* performance benefit, because each task can
be completed with a single SSH connection (vs. one ssh connection at the
start to mkdir, plus one sftp and one ssh per task).
Pipelining is disabled by default in Ansible because it conflicts with
the use of sudo if 'Defaults requiretty' is set in /etc/sudoers (as it
is on Red Hat) and su (which always requires a tty).
We can (and already do) make sudo/su happy by using "ssh -t" to allocate
a tty, but then the python interpreter goes into interactive mode and is
unhappy with module source being written to its stdin, per the following
comment from connections/ssh.py:
# we can only use tty when we are not pipelining the modules.
# piping data into /usr/bin/python inside a tty automatically
# invokes the python interactive-mode but the modules are not
# compatible with the interactive-mode ("unexpected indent"
# mainly because of empty lines)
Instead of the (current) drastic solution of turning off pipelining when
we use a tty, we can instead use a tty but suppress the behaviour of the
Python interpreter to switch to interactive mode. The easiest way to do
this is to make its stdin *not* be a tty, e.g. with cat|python.
This works, but there's a problem: ssh will ignore -t if its input isn't
really a tty. So we could open a pseudo-tty and use that as ssh's stdin,
but if we then write Python source into it, it's all echoed back to us
(because we're a tty). So we have to use -tt to force tty allocation; in
that case, however, ssh puts the tty into "raw" mode (~ICANON), so there
is no good way for the process on the other end to detect EOF on stdin.
So if we do:
echo -e "print('hello world')\n"|ssh -tt someho.st "cat|python"
…it hangs forever, because cat keeps on reading input even after we've
closed our pipe into ssh's stdin. We can get around this by writing a
special __EOF__ marker after writing in_data, and doing this:
echo -e "print('hello world')\n__EOF__\n"|ssh -tt someho.st "sed -ne '/__EOF__/q' -e p|python"
This works fine, but in fact I use a clever python one-liner by mgedmin
to achieve the same effect without depending on sed (at the expense of a
much longer command line, alas; Python really isn't one-liner-friendly).
We also enable pipelining by default as a consequence.
since all the --ask pass options end up triggering the same code
and are functionally equivalent, ignore them when it comes to checking
privilege escalation conflicts. This allows using -K when --become-method=su
and so on.
The secret_key parameter especially can contain non-ascii characters and
will throw an error if such a string is passed as a byte str.
Potential fix for #13303
It is natural that an argument_spec with choises=BOOLEAN accepts
boolean literal (True, False) though the current implementation
allows only string or int.
* StandardError doesn't exist in python3
* because it is the root of builtin expections, we can't catch it
separate from the builtin exceptions
* It doesn't tell us anything about the error being thrown as it's too
generic
This ssh shared module is used for building modules that require an
interactive shell environment such as those required for connecting
to network devices
