* 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 :)
* add git shallow fetch test
covers https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/issues/3782
updating a repo with depth=1 fails silently if version==HEAD
* disable git shallow tests for old git versions
Older git versions don't treat the --depth option correctly.
While the git module tried to work around this and introduced subtle
bugs, ansible/ansible-modules-core#3794 falls back to full checkouts.
Don't run the tests then.
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.
