* 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
Also updates doc on variable precedence, as it was incorrect for the
order of play vars/vars_prompt/vars_files in relation to set_fact and
registered variables.
Fixes#14702Fixes#14826
Adding a note to the documentation to highlight that key names in the ansible_local variable are converted into lower case when they are read from the local facts on the host.
QA had asked me a while ago to clean up the way the precedence list for 1.x was worded,
as the intro from the list started with "then comes", as if something should preceed
it. The comments from OxABAB were not helpful themselves, but his issue reminded me that
this was on my to do list to make a little cleaner and clearer. Edits made to remove the
"then comes" intros for each list line, to help with clarity.
Noticed that the v1 variable precedence docs list facts discovered as having a lower precedence than inventory variables. It is in reality the other way around. The v2 section gets this right.
Closes#12990.
Alternative to #12992
This PR excludes all attributes of the following data types: lists,
tuples, dicts, sets, integers, floats, strings and Unicode objects.
It is expected that only the attributes of dicts and sets would cause an
problem like in #12990.
This work fulfills PR #11799. Moved the content out of the vault file,
into best practices, edited it, then referenced it from variables and
vaults content files.
ansible_ssh_* changes from 1.9 to 2.0, original note made into a separate file
for easier editing, and an include for this new file added to each of the 6 file affected
by this change
Ansible 2.0 has depricated the “ssh” from ansible_ssh_user,
ansible_ssh_host, and ansible_ssh_port to become ansible_user,
ansible_host, and ansible_port. If you are using a version of
Ansible prior to 2.0, you should continue using the older style
variables (ansible_ssh_*). These shorter variables are ignored,
without warning, in older versions of Ansible.
added a note like the following to each file hit with unlabled 2.0 changes...
Ansible 2.0 moved away from using ansible_ssh_* variables to accepting
ansible_* variables. If you are using a version of Ansible prior to 2.0,
you should continue using the older style variables (ansible_ssh_*), such
as ansible_ssh_user instead of ansible_user and ansible_ssh_port instead of
ansible_port, which appear in the following content. These shorter variables
are ignored, without warning, in older versions of Ansible.
made new sections for vars, started explaining scope, gave example on command line override of connection vars
added some formatting changes and clarifications
