From 652cd6cd5e60879cac3e74088930de1fc603cdda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesse Rusak Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2015 16:37:14 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Fix --force-handlers, and allow it in plays and ansible.cfg The --force-handlers command line argument was not correctly running handlers on hosts which had tasks that later failed. This corrects that, and also allows you to specify force_handlers in ansible.cfg or in a play. --- bin/ansible-playbook | 3 +- docsite/rst/intro_configuration.rst | 14 ++++++++++ docsite/rst/playbooks_error_handling.rst | 20 +++++++++++++ lib/ansible/constants.py | 2 ++ lib/ansible/playbook/__init__.py | 17 +++++------ lib/ansible/playbook/play.py | 8 ++++-- test/integration/Makefile | 14 ++++++++++ .../test_force_handlers/handlers/main.yml | 2 ++ .../roles/test_force_handlers/tasks/main.yml | 26 +++++++++++++++++ test/integration/test_force_handlers.yml | 28 +++++++++++++++++++ test/units/TestPlayVarsFiles.py | 1 + 11 files changed, 123 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) create mode 100644 test/integration/roles/test_force_handlers/handlers/main.yml create mode 100644 test/integration/roles/test_force_handlers/tasks/main.yml create mode 100644 test/integration/test_force_handlers.yml diff --git a/bin/ansible-playbook b/bin/ansible-playbook index 118a0198e4..3d6e1f9f40 100755 --- a/bin/ansible-playbook +++ b/bin/ansible-playbook @@ -97,7 +97,8 @@ def main(args): help="one-step-at-a-time: confirm each task before running") parser.add_option('--start-at-task', dest='start_at', help="start the playbook at the task matching this name") - parser.add_option('--force-handlers', dest='force_handlers', action='store_true', + parser.add_option('--force-handlers', dest='force_handlers', + default=C.DEFAULT_FORCE_HANDLERS, action='store_true', help="run handlers even if a task fails") parser.add_option('--flush-cache', dest='flush_cache', action='store_true', help="clear the fact cache") diff --git a/docsite/rst/intro_configuration.rst b/docsite/rst/intro_configuration.rst index 4cb1f35994..a13f6c6ecd 100644 --- a/docsite/rst/intro_configuration.rst +++ b/docsite/rst/intro_configuration.rst @@ -252,6 +252,20 @@ This options forces color mode even when running without a TTY:: force_color = 1 +.. _force_handlers: + +force_handlers +============== + +.. versionadded:: 1.9.1 + +This option causes notified handlers to run on a host even if a failure occurs on that host:: + + force_handlers = True + +The default is False, meaning that handlers will not run if a failure has occurred on a host. +This can also be set per play or on the command line.
