If a variable was provided for an include, in either of these ways:
---
- hosts: all
tasks:
- include: included.yml param=www-data
- include: included.yml
vars:
param: www-data
and then that param was used as the value of sudo_user in the included
tasks:
---
- name: do something as a parameterized sudo_user
command: whoami
sudo: yes
sudo_user: $param
you would receive a "failed to parse: usage: sudo" error back and the
command would not execute.
This seemed to be due to a missing call to template.template somewhere,
because the final value being passed through ssh was still `$param`.
After some digging, the issue seems to instead have been a problem with
providing the wrong context to the template for expansion. Inside the
`Task` logic, it was passing `play.vars` as the context, where
`module_vars` seemed more appropriate. After replacing it, my test case
above ran without issue. There was a comment above suggesting that the
template call might be unnecessary, but removing it made the original
error return, since it is not getting escaped later down the line. I
removed the comment since it was inaccurate.
I tried to actually incorporate my test case above into the test suite
as a regression test, but was unable to figure out how to structure it.
The existing test infrastructure seemed to only be testing for correct
number of counts in things (ok vs. changed, etc.), without regard for
whether the content generated by the command is correct. If there is an
example of a test similar to this one (where I would want to check the
JSON generated to make sure sudo_user had been converted), please let me
know and I will be happy to submit an additional patch.
Excplicity set paramiko's logging level to WARNING.
By default it inherits ansible's DEBUG logging level (set in
callbacks.py) and fills the log file with useless debug messages.
Obviously it only applies if log_path is set in ansible.cfg
This code:
```
if name.endswith('.tar.gz') or name.endswith('.tar.bz2') or
name.endswith('.zip'):
is_tar = True
```
was not checking whether name is defined since it is an
optional param.
