While the encrypted parameter's documentation clearly states that it needs to
be set, if you are focused on the password parameter's documentation, there's
nothing to draw your attention to the fact that encrypted may also need to be
set.
The mysqldb Ansible module will fail if the state specified is import or dump with a '1045: Access Denied' mysql error for complex passwords.
This is caused by the extra quote around the '--password' argument to mysqldump, as pipes.quotes already quotes the password string.
>>> "--password='%s'" % pipes.quote('simple')
"--password='simple'"
>>> "--password='%s'" % pipes.quote('c0mplexp@ssword!')
"--password=''c0mplexp@ssword!''"
>>> "--password='%s'" % pipes.quote('password with space')
"--password=''password with space''"
* Adds another module utility file which generalizes the
access of urls via the urllib* libraries.
* Adds a new spec generator for common arguments.
* Makes the user-agent string configurable.
Fixes#6211
From the documentation it is not immediately clear that the 'target'
option refers to a location on the remote host. This change emphasizes that.
In addition to .sql files, .bz2 and .gz files are supported for dumps and
restores. This is now documented.
The SET GLOBAL statement requires properly quoting of values. For example, the
following correct queries will fail if quotes are toggled:
mysql> SET GLOBAL innodb_lru_scan_depth = 2000;
mysql> SET GLOBAL master_info_repository = "TABLE";
`mysql_variable` module doesn't quote the value argument, therefore
string values will fail.
# this task will pass, 2000 is passed without quotes
- name: set a numeric value
mysql_variable: variable=innodb_lru_scan_depth value=2000
# this task will fail, TABLE is passed without quotes
- name: set a string value
mysql_variable: variable=master_info_repository value=TABLE
With this patch prepared statements are used. Proper quoting will be
done automatically based on the type of the variables thus an attempt
to convert to int, then to float is done in first place.
Booleans values, ie: ON, OFF, are not specially handled because they
can be quoted. For example, the following queries are correct and
equivalent, they all set _innodb_file_per_table_ to logical _True_:
mysql> SET GLOBAL innodb_file_per_table = "ON";
mysql> SET GLOBAL innodb_file_per_table = ON;
mysql> SET GLOBAL innodb_file_per_table = 1;
Tested in mysql 5.5 and 5.6.
