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.

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.
Exception was raised when trying to use ssh-agent for authentication to
ios devices. This fix enables ssh-agent and enable use of password
protected ssh keys. There is one additional fix to capture authentication
exceptions nicely.
* Port urls.py to python3
Fixes (largely normalizing byte vs text strings) for python3
* Rework what we do with attributes that aren't set already.
* Comments
Has already been transferred as a tempfile.
This fixes the error in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/16125
but there may be higher level issues that should be fixed as well (other
modules might be able to cause status fields like failed and changed to
return a censored string instead of a bool). So leaving 16125 open for
now.
If someone run:
ansible all -m file state=present
The error message is "Missing target hosts" which is misleading, since
the target hosts is here, the problem is the missing '-a'.
* In the VariableManager, we were not properly tracking if a file
had already been loaded, so we continuously append data to the end
of the list there for host and group vars, meaning large sets of data
are duplicated multiple times
* In the inventory, we were merging the host/group vars with the vars
local to the host needlessly, as the VariableManager already handles that.
This leads to needless duplication of the data and makes combining the
vars in VariableManager take even longer.
The output of 'ansible-galaxy info' was formatting the
'galaxy_info' key with one char per line.
Previously, when building the output string, items in
role_info that had a dict for value, the label for
it's key ('galaxy_info' for ex) was being added to
the text list in addition to being appended. Only
the append is needed.
Also added a unit test in test/units/cli/test_galaxy.py,
but skip it on py3 until galaxy is py3 compatible.
fixes#15177
Ansible excessively checks the file system for the potential presence of
`group_vars` and `host_vars` files.
For large numbers of groups this leads to combinatorial performance
issues.
This commit generates a set of group_vars and host_vars filenames using
`os.listdir()` in every possible location and then checks against the sets
before making a stat of the file system.
Also included in this commit is caching of the base directory lookup
for the inventory.
This makes it possible to use anything other than a list (e.g., a
tuple, or dict.keys() in py3k) for argument_spec choices. It also
improves the error messages if you don't use a list type.
Child blocks (whether nested or via includes) don't get a copy of the
dependency chain, so the above method should be used to ensure the block
looks at its parents dep chain.
Fixes#15996
* readd the service action plugin, was removed cause it created unexpected fact gathering and there are no split service plugins that would make this useful (yet)
Revert "removed action plugin as service facts and separate modules don't work yet and this forces gathering facts"
This reverts commit 7368030651.
* now only does minimal fact gathering
This class can be used by F5 modules for raising exceptions.
This should be used to handle known errors and raise them so
that they can be printed in the fail_json method.
The common Exception class built-in should not be used because
it hides tracebacks that are necessary to have when debugging
problems with the module.
* Catch DistributionNotFound when pycrypto is absent
On Solaris 11, module `pkg_resources` throws `DistributionNotFound` on import if `cryptography` is installed but `pycrypto` is not. This change causes that situation to be handled gracefully.
I'm not using Paramiko or Vault, so I my understanding is that I don't
need `pycrpto`. I could install `pycrypto` to make the error go away, but:
- The latest released version of `pycrypto` doesn't build cleanly on Solaris (https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/issues/184).
- Solaris includes an old version of GMP that triggers warnings every time Ansible runs (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/6941). I notice that I can silence these warnings with `system_warnings` in `ansible.cfg`, but not installing `pycrypto` seems like a safer solution.
* Ignore only `pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound`, not other exceptions.
With some earlier changes, continuing to forward failed hosts on
to the iterator with each TQM run() call was causing plays with
max_fail_pct set to fail, as hosts which failed in previous plays
were counting those old failures against the % calculation.
Also changed the linear strategy's calculation to use the internal
failed list, rather than the iterator, as this now represents the
hosts failed during the current run only.
This change makes it so we know when it is safe to get rid of the module
(when we stop supporting python2.4) and makes it easier for us to find
code that is using the functions in there to update.
If needed, we'll create a pycompat26 and pycompat27 as well. These
files are for functions that are needed on that python version to write
portable code. So python-2.4 compatible modules may need code in
pycompat24, python26+ modules may need code in pycompat26, etc. If
a function is needed in multiple python versions, we should implement it
in an internal common file and use import to put it in the namespace for
each pycompatXY module.
As noted in the comment, the TQM may be used for more than one play. As such,
after creating the new PlayIterator object it is necessary to mark any failed
hosts from previous calls to run() as failed in the iterator, so they are
properly skipped during any future calls to run().
Since the pyrax website say that only python 2.7 is tested,
I do not think it is worth to aim for python 2.4 compatibility
for the various rackspace modules.
Since this is now the default package manager, it got moved
to another location on Netbsd :
netbsd# type pkgin
pkgin is a tracked alias for /usr/pkg/bin/pkgin
netbsd# uname -a
NetBSD netbsd.example.org 6.1.4 NetBSD 6.1.4 (GENERIC) amd64
But since the package manager is also used outside of NetBSD, we
have to keep the /opt/local path too.
The change is needed to support the multiple include statements
inside the jinja2 template file, as in '{% include ['another.j2'] %}'.
statement. I need this capability, as OpenSwitch `switch` role needs
to handle multiple *.j2 files and supporting the include statement
inside jinja2 file is essential, otherwise I need to combine multiple
template files into a single file, which easily causes conflicts
between developers working on different parts of the teamplate, ports
and interface.
Since it depend on libcloud and libcloud requirements include python 2.6
since libcloud 0.4.0 (https://libcloud.apache.org/about.html), which
was released in 2011 Q2, and GCE drivers were added in 2013,
we can't run a libcloud version with GCE support on 2.4.
Since the modules can use a paramiko transport (ergo
python 2.4 syntax), we need to keep compat with 2.4 and python 3,
so we need to use the get_exception trick, even if the various juniper
libraries are not compatible with 2.4.
It currently fail with
ansible/module_utils/facts.py\", line 357, in get_service_mgr_facts\r\nKeyError: 'distribution'\r\n"

reworks the retry/until logic to make things more simple and clear.
Fixes#15697
When using run_once, there is only one dict of facts so passing that
to the VariableManager results in the fact cache containing the same
dictionary reference for all hosts in inventory. This patch fixes that
by making sure we pass a copy of the facts dict to VariableManager.

* Update GCE module to use JSON credentials
* Ensure minimum libcloud version when using JSON crednetials for GCE
* Relax langauge around libcloud requirements
In the free strategy, we mark a host as blocked when it has work to do
(the PlayIterator returns a task) to prevent multiple tasks from being sent
to the host. However, we check for role duplicates after setting the blocked
flag, but were not clearing that when the task was skipped leading to an
infinite loop. This patch corrects that by clearing the blocked flag when
the task is skipped.
Fixes#15681
Previously the changed code was necessary, however it is now problematic
as we've started using the is_failed() method in other places in the code.
Additional changes at the strategy layer should make this safe to remove

In VariableManager, we fetch the params specifically in the next step,
so including them in the prior step is unnecessary and could lead to things
being overridden in an improper order.
In Block, we should not be getting the params for the role as they are
included earlier via the VariableManager.

This patch adds the port argument as a valid parameter to the f5_spec.
This argument is supported in bigsuds version 1.0.4 and greater, so
this patch uses the __version__ variable of the bigsuds module to
determine when the port value should be honored by the module.
By default the `Shell` class disables ssh agents. The `junos_netconf`
module uses this class, but doesn't re-enable agents.
Here it's explicitly enabled again, so an ssh agent can be used to
connect to and configure Junos devices.
* Don't filter hosts remaining based on their failed state. Instead rely
on the PlayIterator to return None/ITERATING_COMPLETE when the host is
failed.
* In the free strategy, make sure we wait outside the host loop for all
pending results to be processed.
* Use the internal _set_failed_state() instead of manually setting things
when a failed child state is hit
Fixes#15623
In `lib/ansible/executor/play_iterator.py`, ansible sets a host's
`_gathered_facts` property to `True` without checking to see if there
are any tasks to be executed. In the event that the entire play is
skipped, `_gathered_facts` will be `True` even though the `setup`
module was never run.
This patch modifies the logic to only set `_gathered_facts` to `True`
when there are tasks to execute.
Closes#15744.
This changeset addresses the issue reported here:
ansible/ansible-modules-core#1765
The yum module (at least) includes its task results as strings, rather than
dicts, and the code this changeset replaces assumed that in that instance the
task was skipped. The updated behaviour assumes that the task has been
skipped only if:
* results exist, and
* all results are dicts that include a truthy skipped value
Issue #15633 observes that a meta: inventory_refresh task causes the playbook
to exit. An inventory refresh flushes all caches and rebuilds all host
objects, assigning new UUIDs to each. These new host UUIDs currently fail to
match those on host objects stored for restrictions in the inventory, causing
the playbook to exit for having no hosts to run further tasks against.
This changeset attempts to address this issue by storing host restrictions
by name, and comparing inventory host names against these names when applying
restrictions in get_hosts.

Creating directories/files and then assigning permissions and contents

checking whether a file or directory exists, where it is potentially
created by another thread, will only succeed when the file has both the
correct contents and permissions.

Previously we were first checking the fail/run state of the child

* Don't rely on username to check for root privileges
The SSH username isn't a reliable way to check if we've got root privileges on
the remote system (think "toor" on FreeBSD). Because of this check, Ansible
previously tried to use the fallback solutions for granting file access (ACLs,
world-readable files) even on systems where it had root privileges when the
remote username didn't match the literal string "root".
Instead of running checks on the username, just try using `chmod` in any case
and fall back to the previous "non-root" solution when that fails.
* Fail if we are root and changing ownership failed
Since this code is security sensitive we document exactly the expected
permissions of the temporary files once this function has run. That way
if a flaw is found in one end-result we know more precisely what scenarios
are affected and which are not.
Instead of using the old OpenSwitch runconfig, we'll use
Mir's new ops.dc declarative config for the DC interaction
with OpenSwitch. This gives us the clearer separation between
ansible and the OpenSwitch, as well as the performance
improvement done inside the ops.dc module itself.
Squashed the original Mir's change into single commit.

Ansible when there was a percentage that was calculated to be less than
1.0 would run all hosts as the value for a rolling update.
The error is due to the fact that Python will round a
float that is under 1.0 to 0, which will trigger the case of
0 hosts. The 0 host case tells ansible to run all hosts.
The fix will see if the percentage calculation after int
conversion is 0 and will else to 1 host.
This makes our recursive, ast.parse performance measures as fast as
pre-ziploader baseline.
Since this unittest isn't testing that the returned module data is
correct we don't need to worry about os.rename not having any module
data. Should devise a separate test for the module and caching code
Since 2.0 made all includes dynamic, it is now possible to create and
include a file in the course of executing a playbook. However, with the
introduction of implicit static includes this can cause problems if an
include is thought to be static but does not yet exist. For now, we're
handling missing implicit static includes as a potential dynamic include
but also adding a deprecation message to show includes like this will
need to be marked as `static: no` in the future.

Due to an apparent race condition while using pty's on a heavily loaded

Some debuggers are easier to work with when we do everything in a single
process. This debug option caters to that at the expense of being
different from what Ansible will actually do to invoke a module.
When we document this we should be clear that this shouldn't be used for
general purpose debugging and that some modules may show strange
"errors" when used with this. Those won't be considered real bugs as
it's not how ansible really invokes the modules.
action plugins will now skip _fixup_perms for Powershell. We'll have to come up with another way to do this at some point, but it's not necessary yet since we don't support become on Windows.

* Run the module as a script from the wrapper instead of executing in the same process.
Fixes cornercases where the module could potentially be executed twice
if we import and then run the main() function without calling sys.exit()

precisely how this is being triggered but it is related to invoking the
main() function outside of an if __name__ == '__main__' conditional.

This reverts commit 1ffadbcc80.
Some modules seem to have path listed for things that are "commands" --
something that may be a path to a command or a bare command that should
be looked up in PATH. With this change, if they were formerly looked up
inPATH they are now being made into an absolute path in the cwd.
Reverting this until we can think more about whether to do this and
change those modules to not use path for those parameters.
* Ziploader proof of concept (jimi-c)
* Cleanups to proof of concept ziploader branch:
* python3 compatible base64 encoding
* zipfile compression (still need to enable toggling this off for
systems without zlib support in python)
* Allow non-wildcard imports (still need to make this recusrsive so that
we can have module_utils code that imports other module_utils code.)
* Better tracebacks: module filename is kept and module_utils directory
is kept so that tracebacks show the real filenames that the errors
appear in.
* Make sure we import modules that are used into the module_utils files that they are used in.
* Set ansible version in a more pythonic way for ziploader than we were doing in module replacer
* Make it possible to set the module compression as an inventory var
This may be necessary on systems where python has been compiled without
zlib compression.

* Don't repeat ourselves about detecting REPLACER
* Add an easy way to debug
* Port test-module to the ziploader-aware modify_module()
* strip comments and blank lines from the wrapper so we send less over the wire.

`ansible_failed_task`:
Contains the task data, essentially a serialized view of the Task() object.
`ansible_failed_result`:
Contains the result of the task failure, which is identical in function
to registering the result. Doing so automatically like this saves the user
from having to register every result in a block and then trying to figure
out which result had the failure
Similar to the way try/except/finally work, these variables will not be
available in the `always` portion of a block unless there is a corresponding
`rescue` first.

The changes to chown/chmod were broken on Mac (-R was being appended to the end of the command- OSX requires it before the file list).
A number of base action remote setup commands were also blindly proceeding without checking for success. Added error raises for unrecoverable failure cases.
Previously, split_args() was not taking print/block/comment depth into account
when splitting things, meaning that if there was a quote character inside an
un-quoted variable (ie. {{ foo | some_filter(' ') }}), it was incorrectly
splitting on the quotes instead of continuing to append to the previous param.
Fixes#13630
A few of the docs fragments have the available choices for some params
defined as "BOOLEANS". Because choices accepts a list, it treats
"BOOLEANS" as an iterable and then generates a list composed of each
letter.
Instead, define the available choices as a list of `['yes', 'no']`,
as is common in most other modules.
