* sends the serialized play_context into an already established connection
* hooks the alarm_handler() method in the connection plugin if it exists
* added configuration options for connect interval and retries
* adds syslog logging to Server() instance
This update will send the updated play_context back into an already
established connection in case privilege escalation / descalation activities
need to be performed. This change will also hook the alarm_handler() method
in the connection instance (if available) and call it in case of a
sigalarm raised.
This update adds two new configuration options
* PERSISTENT_CONNECT_INTERVAL - time to wait in between connection attempts
* PERSISTENT_CONNECT_RETRIES - max number of retries
* Implement docker support for synchronize module.

* Fix regression in jinja2 include search path
Since commit 3c39bb5, the 'ansible_search_path' variable is used to set
jinja2's search path for {% include %} directives. However, this path is
the the proper one because our templates live in 'templates' subdirs in
our search path.
This is a regression because previously, our include search path would
include the dirname of the currently interpreted file, which worked most
of the time.

Some machines have system clocks which can fall behind (for instance,
a host without a CMOS battery like Raspberry Pi). When managing those
machines we have to workaround the fact that the zip format does not
handle file timestamps before 1980. The workaround is to substitute in
the timestamp from the controller instead of from the managed machine.
Fixes#18640
* Make sure include_role inherit variables from parent role
Setting the parent of task blocks generated by include_role after they
have been produced is not sufficient - it means the tasks don't have the
correct dependency chain set afterwards, and therefore, don't properly
inherit variables from outer roles.
In addition to manually setting the parents, pass the dep_chain when
compiling the role, such that variables are correctly imported.
Fixes#18540.
* Add tests for include_role

Commit 8b08a28c89 removed a

* adds new connection plugin `network_cli` which builds on paramiko
* adds new plugin `terminal` used for manipulating network_cli terminals
* adds new field to play_context `network_os` settable as ansible_network_os
This commit adds the plugins necesary to establish a persistent cli connection
to network devices of ssh. It builds on the paramiko connection plugin
to create a shell environment that will persistent through ansible-connection.
The `newtork_cli` plugin then uses the network_os in the instance of
PlayContext to load the appropriate network OS environment plugin for
handling opening and closing of shells as well as privilege escalation.
* updates paramiko_ssh to auto add keys
* updates constants with new config options
This commit adds a new feature that will allow paramiko to automatically
accept and save a host ssh key. This feature is controlled by the
`host_key_auto_add` config setting in the paramiko section. The default
is False to maintain current functionality. It also includes a new
setting `look_for_keys` with the default to False for maintaining current the
current setting.
The timeout param was exposed to the socket connection but was not
enforced for commands. This update will now cause a command to timeout
based on the module parameter.
Fetch module uses fetch_file() from plugin/connection/ssh.py to
retrieve files from the remote hosts which in turns uses
_file_transport_command(self, in_path, out_path, sftp_action) being

When using scp rather than sftp, sftp_action variable is not used
and the scp command is formed in a way that the file is always
sent to the remote machine
This patch fixes _file_transport_command() to correctly form the scp

The _fixup_perms2 method checks to see if the user that is being sudo'd
is an unprivileged user or root. If it is an unprivileged user, some
checks are done to see if becoming this user would lock the ssh user out
of temp files, among other things. If this check fails, an error prints
telling the user to check the documentation for becoming an unprivileged
user.
On some systems, the stderr prints out the unprivileged user the ssh
user was trying to become contained in smartquotes. These quotes aren't
in the ASCII range, and so when we're trying to call `str.format()` to
combine the stderr message with the error text we get a
UnicodeEncodeError as python can't coerce the smartquotes using the
system default encoding. By calling `to_native()` on the error message
we can ensure that the error message is a native string for the
`Exception` handling, as `Exception` messages need to be native strings
to avoid errors (byte strings in python2, and text strings in python3)
Fixes: #18444
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

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.

VMs in VPC and not in VPC can have an identical name. As a result VMs in a VPC must be sorted out if no VPC is given.
Due the API limitation, the only way is to check if the network of the VM is in a VPC.
With 2.0, we decided to create a special list of param names which were
taken out of the role data structure and stored as params instead (connection,
port, and remote_user). This causes problems with inheritance of these params,
so we are now deprecating that while also keeping those keys in the ds so they
are brought in as attributes on the Role correctly.

- Better switch between *dense* and *default*
- Reimplement C.COLOR* out of necessity (help!)
- Make verbose output more dense (clean up result)
- Implement our own dumper
- Improve delegation support
The goal for the "dense" output is to only show changes and failures on-screen (the Unix-way).
However, since we still want to have a sense of progress, we use terminal capabilities to display progress.
- On screen there should only be relevant stuff
- How far are we ? (during run, last line)
- What issues occured
- What changes occured
- Diff output
- If verbosity increases, act as default output
So that users can easily switch to default for troubleshooting
- Leave previous task output on screen
- If we would clear the line at the start of a task, there would often
be no information at all
- We use the cursor to indicate where in the task we are.
Output after the prompt is the output of the previous task
- Use the same color-conventions of Ansible
This is still a work in progress.
It was released to give a glimpse of what would be possible.
The Ansible callback mechanism currently does not have all the functionality we need to do this efficiently.
* Replace pipes.quote for shlex_quote
* More migration of pipes.quote to shlex_quote
Note that we cannot yet move module code over. Modules have six-1.4
bundled which does not have shlex_quote. This shouldn't be a problem as
the function is still importable from pipes.quote. It's just that this
has become an implementation detail that makes us want to import from
shlex instead.
Once we get rid of the python2.4 dependency we can update to a newer
version of bundled six module-side and then we're free to use
shlex_quote everywhere.
Previous changes addressed a corner case, which unfortunately introduced
another bug. This patch adds a new flag to the host state (did_rescue) which
is set to true when the rescue portion of a block completes. This flag is
then checked in _check_failed_state() when the fail_state != FAILED_NONE.
This lead to the discovery of another bug - current strategies are not advancing
hosts to ITERATING_COMPLETE after doing a peek at the next task, leaving the
host state in the run_state of the final task. To address this, before gathering
the list of failed hosts in StrategyBase.run(), a final pass through the iterator
for all hosts is done to ensure each host is in its final state. This way, no
strategy derived from StrategyBase has to worry about it and it's handled.

When loading an include statically, we previously were simply doing a
copy() of the TaskInclude object, which recurses up the parents creating
a new lineage of objects. This caused problems when used inside load_list_of_blocks
as the new parent Block of the new TaskInclude was not actually in the list
of blocks being operated on. In most circumstances, this did not cause a
problem as the new parent block was a proper copy, however when used in
combination with PlaybookInclude (which copies conditionals to the list of
blocks loaded) this untracked parent was not being properly updated, leading
to tasks being run improperly.
Fixes#18206
In some situations, where the Base class defines an Attribute, the
BaseMeta class doesn't properly see the _get_parent_attribute or
_get_attr_<whatever> methods because of multiple layers of subclasses
(ie. Handler, which subclasses Task). This addresses that by merging
the __dict__ of the parent with the current classes __dict__ meaning
all future iterations see available special methods.

Text strings and byte strings both have a translate method but the byte
string version is harder to use. It requires a mapping of all 256 bytes
to a translation value. Text strings only require a mapping from the
characters that are changing to the new string. Switching to text
strings on both py2 and py3 allows us to state what we're getting rid of
simply without having to rely on the maketrans() helper function.

* Fix bug (#18355) where encrypted inventories fail
This is first part of fix for #18355
* Make DataLoader._get_file_contents return bytes
The issue #18355 is caused by a change to inventory to
stop using _get_file_contents so that it can handle text
encoding itself to better protect against harmless text
encoding errors in ini files (invalid unicode text in
comment fields).
So this makes _get_file_contents return bytes so it and other
callers can handle the to_text().
The data returned by _get_file_contents() is now a bytes object
instead of a text object. The callers of _get_file_contents() have
been updated to call to_text() themselves on the results.
Previously, the ini parser attempted to work around
ini files that potentially include non-vailid unicode
in comment lines. To do this, it stopped using
DataLoader._get_file_contents() which does the decryption of
files if vault encrypted. It didn't use that because _get_file_contents
previously did to_text() on the read data itself.
_get_file_contents() returns a bytestring now, so ini.py
can call it and still special case ini file comments when
converting to_text(). That also means encrypted inventory files
are decrypted first.
Fixes#18355

This script is run during CI on Shippable.
If there is an intermittent network failure, we might be trying to reach
an URL multiple times. Without this patch, we would be re-adding the same
certificate to the OpenSSL default context multiple times.
Normally, this is no big issue, as OpenSSL will just silently ignore them,
after registering the error in its own error stack.
However, when python-cryptography initializes, it verifies that the current
error stack of the default OpenSSL context is empty, which it no longer is
due to us adding the certificates multiple times.
This results in cryptography throwing an Unknown OpenSSL Error with details:

if ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE is set, 'ansible-vault rekey myvault.yml'
will fail to prompt for the new vault password file, and will use

Fix is to split out 'ask_vault_passwords' into 'ask_vault_passwords'
and 'ask_new_vault_passwords' to make the logic simpler. And then
make sure new_vault_pass is always set for 'rekey', and if not, then
call ask_new_vault_passwords() to set it.
ask_vault_passwords() would return values for vault_pass and new
vault_pass, and vault cli previously would not prompt for new_vault_pass
if there was a vault_pass set via a vault password file.

In order to support legacy plugins, the following two method signatures
are allowed for `CallbackBase.v2_playbook_on_start`:
def v2_playbook_on_start(self):
def v2_playbook_on_start(self, playbook):
Previously, the logic to handle this divergence checked to see if the
callback plugin being called supported an argument named `playbook`
in its `v2_playbook_on_start` method. This was fragile in a few ways:
- if a plugin author did not use the literal `playbook` to name their
method argument, their plugin would not be called correctly
- if a plugin author wrapped their `v2_playbook_on_start` method and
by doing so changed the argspec to no longer expose an argument
with that literal name, their plugin would not be called correctly
In order to continue to support both types of callback for backwards
compatibility while making the call more robust for plugin authors,
the logic can be reversed in order to have a positive check for the old
method signature instead of a positive check for the new one.

When using the ansible-galaxy CLI to import roles, it's not possible to
specify an alternate_role_name, even though the REST API seems to allow
such a thing (at least on investigation of the interactions the web app
makes) That makes importing things like:
openstack/openstack-ansible-os_cloudkitty wind up with roles named
"openstack-ansible-os_cloudkitty" instead of "os_cloudkitty".
Also, the web ui is smart and imports
"openstack-infra/ansible-role-puppet" as openstack-infra.puppet ... but
the CLI imports it as openstack-infra.ansible-role-puppet. Add that
filtering as well.

- When there is no file at the destination yet, we have no modification time for the `If-Modified-Since`-Header. In this case trust the cache to make the right decision to either serve a cached version or to refresh from origin. This should help with mass-deployment scenarios where you want to use a local cache to relieve your uplink.
- If you don't trust the cache to make the right decision you can still force it to refresh by providing the `force: yes` option.
Since ifconfig/ip are not present on the system, and there is no /proc
to be parsed, the only way to get information is by looking at the
argument of the pfinet translator, the process in charge of network.
In turn, this is done with fsysopts on the appropriate path, who return
something like this:
# fsysopts -L /servers/socket/inet
/hurd/pfinet --interface=/dev/eth0 --address=192.168.122.130
--netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.122.1 --address6=fe80::5254:12:ced/10
--address6=fe80::5054:ff:fe12:ced/10 --gateway6=::
So to get the IP addresses, one has to parse that string and fill the appropriate
structure.
