There is a bit going on with the changes here. Most of the changes are cleanup of files so that they line up with the standard files.
PR #5136 was merged into the current devel and brought up to working order. A few bug fixes had to be done to get the code to test correctly. Thanks out to @pib!
Issue #5431 was not able to be confirmed as it behaved as expected with a sudo user.
Tests were added via a playbook with archive files to verify functionality.
All tests fire clean including custom playbooks across multiple linux and solaris systems.
For some tasks, I need to drop the username/api_key into configuration
files. Rather than rely on how I'm calling the rax modules. It seemed
more appropriate to authenticate against Rackspace and return the wealth
of information contained in the pyrax identity payload with other
modules/templates.
- removed previous 'typification' of input as it needs it is typed by
module as strings and needs to be output as strings, making it
useless.
- now checks for vtype and value against None when question is specified
- simplified set_selections as vtype and value should have a string
value going in.
- added example of querying questions for a package
- added module requirement of question,vtype and value being required
together.
- field names are more consistent with debconf
- values are now 'booleanized' or accepted as list/set objects when
pertinent
- updated docs to reflect all of the above and debconf cli tools
required
There is a subtle bug in how the git module currently works. If the
version you request is a tag name, and you've already got the repo
cloned, and the tag name is a new tag, but refers to the already checked
out working copy, the git module would exit early without change. This
is bad as it means the new tag ref was not fetched and could not be used
in later tasks.
This change will check if the version is a remote tag, and if the tag
doesn't exist locally. If that is true, it'll do a fetch.
The activity could still be seen as not a change, because the working
copy won't be updated, if the new tag refers to the already checked out
copy, but that's not different than before and can be fixed as a more
comprehensive overhaul of tracking change in the git module.
A fix for uri module regarding following redirects. The old behavior would follow redirects either way. This change clarifies the functionality and makes it a bit more explicit. Comparing the old behavior to the new 'yes' == 'all', 'no' == 'safe' and now 'no' will not follow any redirects. Historic behavior is still supported and documented with a push to the new values.
Refactor the currently well-factored ec2 modules (i.e. those that already use ec2_connect) to
have a common argument spec. The idea is that new modules can use this spec without duplication
of code, and that new functionality can be added to the ec2 connection code (e.g. security
token argument)
This is accomplished by not setting the If-Modified-Since header,
and setting "cache-control: no-cache" instead. Note that if the
file content has not changed, the module will still report that
changed=false, as the md5's of the tmp file and existing file are
compared before swapping
Fixes#5104
