* Remove unnecessary copying of values from parents to role deps, as
this can cause problems when roles have multiple parents (or the same
parents with different params speficied through deps)
* Since we're already checking the dep chain in the block for role
things (which every task in a role should have), it is not necessary
to check the role directly in case it improperly grabs something
Fixes#14438
Our custom encoder for the to_json filter was simply returning the
object if it was not a HostVars object, leading in some cases to a
TypeError when the data contained an undefined variable. This lead
to an odd error message being propagated up, so we now properly catch
this as an undefined variable error.
Fixes#15610
Again, as we're carrying failed/unreachable hosts forward from play to play via
internal structures, we need to remember which ones had previously failed so that
unrelated host failures don't inflate the numbers for a given serial batch in the
PlaybookExecutor causing a premature exit.
Fixes#16364
The listen statement on handlers should have supported a list, however
it was broken in the revision of the pub/sub feature based on the handler
revamp. This patch corrects the bug, so this works again:
- name: some handler
...
listen:
- some target
- another target
Fixes#16378
* add new module network
* move EOS to NetworkModule
* shell.py Python 3.x compatibility
* implements the Command class through the connection for eos
This implements a new Command class that specifies the cli command
and output format. This removes the need to batch commands through
the connection
* initial add of netcmd module
Due to the fact that roles may be instantiated with different sets of
params (multiple inclusions of the same role or via role dependencies),
simply tracking notified handlers by name does not work. This patch
changes the way we track handler notifications by using the handler
object itself instead of just the name, allowing for multiple internal
instances. Normally this would be bad, but we also modify the way we
search for handlers by first looking at the notifying tasks dependency
chain (ensuring that roles find their own handlers first) and then at
the main list of handlers, using the first match it finds.
This patch also modifies the way we setup the internal list of handlers,
which should allow us to correctly identify if a notified handler exists
more easily.
Fixes#15084
This removes the extra layer of quotes around values in the 'args' file.
These quotes were there before the pipes.quote() call was added, but
were not removed, resulting in too much quoting.

This makes Ansible no longer set LC_ALL for remote systems. It is up to
the individual modules to set LC_ALL if they need it for screenscraping
the output from a program.
This is the 2.2 followup for #15138
Problem: When setting the file permissions on the remote server for
unprivileged users ansible expects that a chown will fail for unprivileged
users. For some systems (e.g. HP-UX) this is not the case.
Solution: Change the order how ansible sets the remote permissions.
* If the remote_user sudo's to an unprivileged user then we attempt to
grant the unprivileged user access via file system acls.
* If granting file system acls fails we try to change the owner of the
file with chown which only works in case the remote_user is privileged
or the remote systems allows chown calls by unprivileged users (e.g.
HP-UX)
* If the chown fails we can set the file to be world readable so that
the second unprivileged user can read the file. Since this could allow
other users to get access to private information we only do this
ansible is configured with "allow_world_readable_tmpfiles" in the
ansible.cfg
When the PYTHONPATH is an empty string python will treat it as though
the cwd is in the PYTHONPATH. This can be undesirable. So make sure we
delete PYTHONPATH from the environment altgether in this case.
Fixes#16195
Symlinks inside of the chroot were failng because we weren't able to
determine if they were pointing to a real file or not. We could write
some complicated code to walk the symlink path taking into account where
the root of the tree is but that could be fragile. Since this is just
a sanity check, instead we just assume that the chroot is fine if we
find that /bin/sh in the chroot is a symlink. Can revisit if it turns
out that many chroots have a /bin/sh that's a broken symlink.
Fixes#16097
The junos network module will now properly use the ssh key file if its
passed from the playbook to authenticate to the remote device. Prior
to this commit, the ssh keyfile was ignored.
When setuptools installs a python module (as is done via python setup.py
install) It puts the module into a subdirectory of site-packages and
then creates an entry in easy-install.pth to load that directory. This
makes it difficult for Ansiballz to function correctly as the .pth file
overrides the sys.path that the wrapper constructs. Using
sitecustomize.py fixes this because sitecustomize overrides the
directories handled in .pth files.
Fixes#16187
AIX ssh does not seem to like compression, moved it to ssh_args
to allow making it configurable. Note that those using ssh_args
already will need to add it explicitly to keep compression.
* Give a module the possibility to known its own name
This is useful for logging and reporting and fixes the longstanding problem with syslog-messages:
May 30 15:50:11 moria ansible-<stdin>: Invoked with ...
now becomes:
Jun 1 17:32:03 moria ansible-copy: Invoked with ...
This fixes#15830
* Rename the internal name from module.ansible_module_name to module._name
* Fix: create retry_files_save_path if it doesn't exist
Ansible documentation states that retry_files_save_path directory will be
created if it does not already exist. It currently doesn't, so this patch
fixes it :)
* Use makedirs_safe to ensure thread-safe dir creation
@bcoca suggested to use the makedirs_safe helper function :)
The changes to exclude implicit localhosts from group patterns exposed
the bug that we sometimes create multiple implicit localhosts, which
caused some bugs with things like includes, where the host was used as
an entry into a dict, so having multiple meant that the incorrect host
(with a different uuid) was found and includes were not executed for
implicit localhosts.
This allows the PlaybookExecutor to receive more information regarding
what happened internal to the TaskQueueManager and strategy, to determine
things like whether or not the play iteration should stop.
Fixes#15523
The nxos cli provider would not properly handle ssh key files passed
from the playbook task. The ssh_keyfile argument is now properly
passed to the ssh authentication method
This fix address the bug reported in #3862
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
Since we now use the PlayIterator to carry forward failures from previous
play executions, in the event that some hosts which had previously failed
are not in the current inventory we now create a stub state instead of
raising an error.
