This fixes#2632. Briefly: specifying things like paths using complex
args in a playbook will make the objects unicode instances. The selinux
module does not accept unicode instances for its char * arguments; it
wants str instances.
Per mpdehaan's comment on #2632 I just went ahead and converted all
paths to UTF-8. I don't know if it would be better to do something like
converting to locale.getpreferredencoding(), but I factored all the
conversions out into new method _to_filesystem_str, so there's only one
place that needs to be changed in the future.
This module allows you to set host facts (or export play variables to the playbook scope if you fancy that).
The module also accepts complex arguments.
```yaml
- action: set_fact fact="something" global_fact="${local_var}"'
- action: set_fact
args:
fact: something
global_fact: ${local_var}
```
- add a skip option so it won't raise an exception if you don't match anything
- make it work as a drop-in replacement for first_available_file
- document in the module comments all of the above cases
AR function was leaving some tmp files behind, want to revert, will have better implementation soon, this is the old way now.
This reverts commit f74a1fa4f0.
Lookup plugins 'sequence' and 'template' now import 'ansible.utils'
appropriately in order to use the 'listify_lookup_plugin_terms'
function.
Also, 'dnstxt' and 'env' now check to see if 'terms' is a string;
without this calls like '{{ lookup('env', 'HOME') }}' fail.
The copy action accepts force=no, which tells it not to replace an
existing file even if it differs from the source. The copy action
plug-in wasn't respecting this option when operated in check mode, so it
would report that changes are necessary in check mode even though copy
would make no changes when run normally.
Runner._remote_md5 was changed to make the logic for setting rc perhaps
a little more clear, and to make sure that rc=0 when the file does not
exist.
Look for a file with the base name of the group/host, first without
a file extension, then with a '.yml' extension, and, finally, with
a '.yaml' extension, loading vars from only the first one found.
