We want to NOT consider the async task as failed if the result is
not parsed, which was the intent of:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/16458
However, the logic doesn't actually do that because we default
the 'parsed' value to True. It should default to False so that
we continue waiting, as intended.
Instead of immediately returning a failed code (indicating a break in
the play execution), we internally 'or' that failure code with the result
(now an integer flag instead of a boolean) so that we can properly handle
the rescue/always portions of blocks and still remember that the break
condition was hit.
Fixes#16937
* Introduce new 'filetree' lookup plugin
The new "filetree" lookup plugin makes it possible to recurse over a tree of files within the task loop. This makes it possible to e.g. template a complete tree of files to a target system with little effort while retaining permissions and ownership.
The module supports directories, files and symlinks.
The item dictionary consists of:
- src
- root
- path
- mode
- state
- owner
- group
- seuser
- serole
- setype
- selevel
- uid
- gid
- size
- mtime
- ctime
EXAMPLES:
Here is an example of how we use with_filetree within a role:
```yaml
- name: Create directories
file:
path: /web/{{ item.path }}
state: directory
mode: '{{ item.mode }}'
owner: '{{ item.owner }}'
group: '{{ item.group }}'
force: yes
with_filetree: web/
when: item.state == 'directory'
- name: Template complete tree
file:
src: '{{ item.src }}'
dest: /web/{{ item.path }}
state: 'link'
mode: '{{ item.mode }}'
owner: '{{ item.owner }}'
group: '{{ item.group }}'
with_filetree: web/
when: item.state == 'link'
- name: Template complete tree
template:
src: '{{ item.src }}'
dest: /web/{{ item.path }}
mode: '{{ item.mode }}'
owner: '{{ item.owner }}'
group: '{{ item.group }}'
force: yes
with_filetree: web/
when: item.state == 'file'
```
SPECIAL USE:
The following properties also have its special use:
- root: Makes it possible to filter by original location
- path: Is the relative path to root
- uid, gid: Makes it possible to force-create by exact id, rather than by name
- size, mtime, ctime: Makes it possible to filter out files by size, mtime or ctime
TODO:
- Add snippets to documentation
* Small fixes for Python 3
* Return the portion of the file’s mode that can be set by os.chmod()
And remove the exists=True, which is redundant.
* Use lstat() instead of stat() since we support symlinks
* Avoid a few possible stat() calls
* Bring in line with v1.9 and hybrid plugin
* Remove glob module since we no longer use it
* Included suggestions from @RussellLuo
- Two blank lines will be better. See PEP 8
- I think if props is not None is more conventional 😄
* Support failed pwd/grp lookups
* Implement first-found functionality in the path-order
* when including statically, make sure that all parents were also included
statically (issue #16990)
* properly resolve nested static include paths
* print a message when a file is statically included
Fixes#16990
When unittesting this we found that the platform selecting class
hierarchies weren't working in all cases. If the subclass was directly
created (ie: LinuxHardware()), then it would use its inherited __new__()
to try to create itself. The inherited __new__ would look for
subclasses and end up calling its own __new__() again. This would
recurse endlessly. The new code detects when we want to find a subclass
to create (when the base class is used, ie: Hardware()) vs when to
create the class itself (when the subclass is used, ie:
LinuxHardware()).
Rather than repeatedly searching for tasks by uuid via iterating over
all known blocks, cache the tasks when they are added to the PlayIterator
so the lookup becomes a simple key check in a dict.
It is possible that a block is copied prior to validation, in which case
some fields (like when) which should be something other than a string might
not be. Using validate() in copy() is relatively harmless and ensures the
blocks are in the proper structure.
This also cleans up some of the finalized logic from an earlier commit and
adds similar logic for validated.
Fixes#17018
After post_validate() is called on an object, there should be no
need to continue looking up at parent attributes. This patch adds a
new flag (_finalized) which is set to True at the end of post_validate,
and getattr will not look beyond its own attributes from that point on.
* Allow to make the jsonfile cache files pretty (indented and sorted)
Since the json cache files are condensed, it is not very practical to look for something in them. Having indented/sorted cache files makes debugging and playbook/inventory development a lot easier to do.
I made it configurable in case people would object to the performance hit this would have, but to be honest, then they probably should be looking at other cache plugins instead IMO.
* Removed the config option and documentation changes
* Query lookup plugin
* Add license and docstrings
* Add python3-ish imports
* Change query plugin type from lookup to filter
* Switch from dq to jsonpath_rw
* Add integration test for query filter
* Rename query filter to json_query
* Add jsonpath-rw
* Rename query filter to json_query
* Switch query implementation from jsonpath-rw to jmespath
Run setfacl/chown/chmod on each temp dir and file.
This fixes temp file permissions handling on platforms such as FreeBSD
which always return success when using find -exec. This is done by
eliminating the use of find when setting up temp files and directories.
Additionally, tests that now pass on FreeBSD have been enabled for CI.
Due to the way we load plugins, internally to Python there can be issues when
the debug strategy is loaded after the linear strategy. To work around this,
we're changing the import line for the linear strategy to avoid the problem.

uri:
follow_redirects: no
Will lead yaml to set follow_redirects=False. This is problematic when
the module parameter is not a boolean value but a string. For instance:
follow_redirects = dict(required=False, default='safe', choices=['all', 'safe', 'none', 'yes', 'no']),
Our parameter validation code ends up getting follow_redirects="False"
instead of "no". The 100% fix is for the user to quote their strings in
playbooks like:
uri:
follow_redirects: "no"
But we can fix quite a few common cases by trying to switch "False" back
into the string that it was specified as. We only do this if there is
only one correct choices value that could have been specified. In the
follow_redirects example, a value of "True" only maps back to "yes" and
a value of "False" only maps back to "no" so we can do this. If choices
also contained "on" and "off" then we couldn't map back safely and would
need to force the module author to change the module to handle this
case.
Fixes parts of the following PRs:
* https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/pull/4220
* https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/2593
* These can still race when multiple ansible processes are created at
the same time.
* Reverse order of expanduser and expandvars in unfrakpath(). So that
tildes in environment variables will be handled.
When a task result has an empty results list, the
list should be ignored when determining the results
of `_check_key`. Here the empty list is treated the
same as a non-existent list.
This fixes a bug that manifests itself with squashed
items - namely the task result contains the correct
value for the key, but an empty results list. The
empty results list was treated as zero failures
when deciding which handler to call - so the task
show as a success in the output, but is deemed to
have failed when deciding whether to continue.
This also demonstrates a mismatch between task
result processing and play iteration.
A test is also added for this case, but it would not
have caught the bug - because the bug is really in
the display, and not the success/failure of the
task (visually the test is more accurate).

This feature changes the scalar value of `serial:` to a list, which
allows users to specify a list of values, so batches can be ramped
up (commonly called "canary" setups):
- hosts: all
serial: [1, 5, 10, "100%"]

The module level function defs for gcdns_connect() and
gce_connect() provide a default arg for 'provider' that
references into the libcloud module. If the libcloud
modules were not installed, the gce/gcdns python modules
would throw ImportError.
Let the provider arg default to None and if not provided,
set it to the default libcloud.compute.types.Provider.*
value if the modules are installed.
The lack of a comma caused the statement to always evaluate as a
`TypeError` when python interpreted `value (list, tuple, dict)` to call
value with the arguments list, tuple, and dict.
This is a refactoring of the existing GCE utility module to support other projects on Google Cloud Platform.
The previous gce.py module was hard-coded specifically for GCE, and attempting to use it with other projects in GCP failed.
See https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/15918#issuecomment-220165913 for more detail.
This has also been an issue for others in the past, although they've handled it by simply
duplicating some of the logic of gce.py in their own modules.
- The existing gce.py module was renamed to gcp.py, and modified to remove any
imports or other code that refers to libcloud.compute or GCE (the GCE_* params were
retained for compatibility). I also renamed the gce_connect function to gcp_connect,
and modified the function signature to make supplying a provider, driver, and agent
information mandatory.
- A new gce.py module was created to handle connectivity to GCE. It imports the
appropriate libcloud.compute providers and drivers, and then passes them on
to gcp_connect in gcp.py. The constants and function signatures are the same
as the old gce.py, so compatibility with existing modules is retained.
- A new gcdns.py module was created to support PR ansible/ansible-modules-extras#2252
for two new Google Cloud DNS modules, and to demonstrate support for a non-GCE
Google Cloud service. It follows the same basic structure as the new gce.py module,
but imports from libcloud.dns instead.
I'm not sure why that would be desirable -- we really want __version__
to come from the controller whereas importing will come from the client
node. If it turns out there was a reason to do that, please be sure to
use an exception handler that catches all exceptions instead of only
catching ImportError:
```
try:
from ansible.release import __version__, __author__
except:
__version__ = [...]
```

A simple import of cryptography can throw several types of errors. For example,
if `setuptools` is less than cryptography's minimum requirement of 11.3, then
this import of cryptography will throw a VersionConflict here. An earlier case
threw a DistributionNotFound exception.
An optional dependency should not stop ansible. If the error is more than
an ImportError, log a warning, so that errors can be fixed in ansible or
elsewhere.
This bug was introduced in 3ced6d3, where getting vars from a role
did not follow the dep chain. This was originally hidden by the fact
that we got vars twice (from the block and from the roles directly).
