ansible_host can be pulled from inventory and not match inventory_hostname,
this can "loose" vars to a new host named by ansible_host vs the delegated host

* show original exception for yaml (and other) errors
In places where we need to catch a yaml error and raise
an AnsibleError, add the orig yaml exc to the AnsibleError
via the orig_exc arg.
When the AnsibleError is displayed it will now include the
AnsibleError (AnsibleParserError for example) and the type
and message from the original yaml exception.
This provides more detail to the error messages related to
yaml errors.
This also improves errors from dataloader (for example,
previously if a wrong password was used for a vault encrypted
yaml file, the error was very vague and suggested yaml errors,
but now the message includes the original exception from vault
indicating the password was incorrect or missing).
Add a text note to playbook helper asserts. For playbook
syntax/layout errors that aren't yaml errors, but errors
indicating invalid data structures for a playbook/task/role/block,
we now include some info about where the assert was and
why it was raised.
In places we raise an AnsibleParserError in an except
clause, pass the original exception to AnsibleParserError via
orig_exc arg.
Make assorted error messages a little more specific (like
the playbook helper load methods)
* Revert "Include the original YAML error in syntax error messages"
This reverts commit 781bb44b02.

* implicit localhost connection local
template/__init__.py imported unsafe_proxy from vars which caused
vars/__init__.py to load. vars/__init__.py needed template/__init__.py
which caused issues. Loading unsafe_proxy from another location fixes
that.
fixes#17382
alternate to #22979
deal with cases in which group/host have . in name
updated as per feedbck
only be strict about extension when doing dirs
also avoid ~ endings
This reverts commit 97cb2016d8.
It was causing issues downstream as facts seem to be merged back for
subsequent tasks. Will restore if I ever figure out how to avoid that.
* Update module_utils.six to latest
We've been held back on the version of six we could use on the module
side to 1.4.x because of python-2.4 compatibility. Now that our minimum
is Python-2.6, we can update to the latest version of six in
module_utils and get rid of the second copy in lib/ansible/compat.
* allow users to control group var merge order
With ansible_group_priority var at each group will determine merge order with siblings,
falling back to sorted names when priority is equal as it did before.
Parent/children relationships still work as they did and have higher precedence than priority
* move priority setting to groups, sourc indep
* now both inventory and play group follow priority
* removed double exception handling
This commit also adds a new test script (ansible-var-precedence-check.py in code-smell/)
to provide us with another line of defense against precedence bugs going forward.
The precedence docs state that the INI vars have a lower precedence than group/host
vars files for inventory and playbooks, however that has not been the case since 2.0
was released. This change fixes that in one way, though not exactly as the docs say.
The rules are:
1) INI/script < inventory dir < playbook dir
2) "all" group vars < other group_vars < host_vars
So the new order will be (from the test script mentioned above):
8. pb_host_vars_file - var in playbook/host_vars/host
9. ini_host_vars_file - var in inventory/host_vars/host
10. ini_host - host var inside the ini
11. pb_group_vars_file_child - var in playbook/group_vars/child
12. ini_group_vars_file_child - var in inventory/group_vars/child
13. pb_group_vars_file_parent - var in playbook/group_vars/parent
14. ini_group_vars_file_parent - var in inventory/group_vars/parent
15. pb_group_vars_file_all - var in playbook/group_vars/all
16. ini_group_vars_file_all - var in inventory/group_vars/all
17. ini_child - child group var inside the ini
18. ini_parent - parent group var inside the ini
19. ini_all - all group var inside the ini
Fixes#21845
This fix ensures a proper error is shown when a group_vars files cannot
be parsed correctly. Without this patch you get:
```
[dag@moria ansible.testing]$ ansible-playbook test132.yml
ERROR! Unexpected Exception: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2 is required
to see the full traceback, use -vvv
```
With this patch you get:
```
[dag@moria ansible.testing]$ ansible-playbook test132.yml
ERROR! Problem parsing file '/home/dag/home-made/ansible.testing/group_vars/test135': line 1, column 1
```
This fixes#18843
Previously, the Conditional class did a simple check when an
AnsibleUndefinedVariable error was raised to see if certain strings were
present. This patch tries to be smarter by evaluating the variable contained
in the error string and compared to the defined/not defined conditionals in
the conditional string.
This also modifies the UndefinedError message from HostVars slightly to
match the format returned jinja2 in general, making it easier to match the
error message in the Conditional code.
Fixes#18514
Currently, if the host specified in delegate_to for a task is null,
Ansible will crash with a stack trace. Add a check for this state
and handle the error appropriately.
* refactor ignore_limits_and_restrictions
into ignore_limits and ignore_limitations
* add ansible_play_hosts_all
* update docs re ansible_play_hosts_all
* only use play.hosts when is has a value
* replace ansible_play_hosts with ansible_play_hosts_all
* remove unnecessary var
When using hostvars to get extra connection-specific vars for connection
plugins, use this raw lookup to avoid prematurely templating all of the
hostvar data (triggering unnecessary lookups).
Fixes#17024
We couldn't copy to_unicode, to_bytes, to_str into module_utils because
of licensing. So once created it we had two sets of functions that did
the same things but had different implementations. To remedy that, this
change removes the ansible.utils.unicode versions of those functions.
for `VariableManager._get_magic_variables()`.
This saves a lot of time re-iterating the nearly always constant global
list of groups and their members.
Generate once and cache, and invalidate cache in case `add_host:` or
`group_by:` are used.

The flag new_pb_basedir is not being utilized in Inventory._get_hostgroup_vars,
leading to the situation where an inventory with no playbook basedir set will
read host/group vars from the $CWD, regardless of the inventory and/or playbook
relative location. This patch corrects that by not using the playbook basedir
if it is unset (None).
This patch also corrects a bug in which the VariableManager would accumulate
host/group vars files, which could lead to incorrect vars files being used when
playbooks are run from different directories containing their own group/host vars
directories.
Fixes#16953
* Revert "There can be only one localhost"
This reverts commit 5f1bbb4fcd.
this broke several usages of localhost, see #16882, #16898 and #16886
* ensure there is only 1 localhost
fixes#16886, #16882 and #16898
- make sure localhost exists before returning it
- optimzed host caching
- ensure we always return a host object
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
