- search entity by path
- search vm based on folder
- search for a vm based on given id ( uuid/name/dns_name/ip/inventory_path)

Note: instance uuid is unique to a VM
The first filter is regex_search which adds the ability to do a regex
search on a fact. The filter supports returning either all capture groups
or a set of capture groups (either by index or named).
Example usage of regex_search filter
debug: msg="{{ out.stdout[0] | regex_search('image version. (?P<test>\d+).(\d+)', '\\g<test>', '\\2' ) }}"
The second filter is regex_findall with adds the capability to do a
regex findall on a fact or variable and return all occurances of a pattern.
debug: msg="{{ out.stdout[0] | regex_findall('vlan (\d+)' }}"
The filter supports two addtional keyword arguments, ignorecase=[true, false]
and multiline=[true, false]
rm _del_ as it might leak memory

added cleanup to finally to ensure removal in most cases
- get_real_file will decrypt vault encrypted files and return a path to
a temporary file.
- cleanup_real_file will remove a temporary file created previously with
get_real_file
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.
Fixes#15342
Due to an apparent race condition while using pty's on a heavily loaded
system, rarely a request to create a temp directory returns an empty
string rather than the newly created path, causing an error. Disabling
forced pty's appears to resolve the issue, so this patch modifies the
mkdtemp remote call not use -tt as we're not escalating privileges and
thus no pty is required.

* Could only have one alias before. Subsequent aliases overrode the
previous ones. Now multiple aliases work.
* Fix BLACKLISTED_MODULES. Previously, modules were listed in the
generated documentation despite being blacklisted
* Deprecated modules form extras were showing the (E) tag and not the
(D) tag. Reversed that now (Probably not necessary to also show the
E tag).
* Sort the deprecated modules alphabetically in the Category docs as
well as the list of all modules
* Optimization: Previously rendered the modules to rst twice once in all
group and once in individual categories. Fixed to only render them
once.
* Add fireball to blacklist and remove async_status (as people need to
use that).
* Remove workaround for fixed bug.
The bug where PluginLoader required objects to directly inherit from
base_classes has been fixed. Remove workaround from this strategy
plugin Also switched to using super so that we don't have to modify
all of hte code anytime something like that happens.
* These should be to_uniocde because they're being sent to display()
* now you can specify a yaml invenotry file
* ansible_group_priority will now set this property on groups

* TODO: make group var merging depend on priority
groups, child/parent relationships should remain unchanged.
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. Also added NotImplementedError throws to chmod/chown/set_facl operations on Powershell (instead of returning '') in case anyone tries to use them in the future.

* 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()
somewhere.
Also fixes problem with concurrent.futures() hanging. Not sure
precisely how this is being triggered but it is related to invoking the
main() function outside of an if __name__ == '__main__' conditional.
* Fix for python-2.6
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.
* Refactoring of module_common code:
* module replacer only replaces values that make sense for that type of
file (example: don't attempt to replace python imports if we're in
a powershell module).
* Implement configurable shebang support for ziploader wrapper
* Implement client-side constants (for SELINUX_SPECIAL_FS and SYSLOG)
via environment variable.
* Remove strip_comments param as we're never going to use it (ruins line
numbering)
* 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.
* Comments cleanup
* Remember to output write the module line itself in powershell modules
* for line in lines strips the newlines so we have to add them back in
Before this patch, if config was ['/some/path'] then it would enter the
else block and config would be set to [].
The regression this patch fixes was introduced by 700db154.
this enhancement will cause the module to connect to the remote ios device
the first time a command wants to run instead of building a connection
immediately
this fixes a bug in nxos shared module to not immediately send a \n when
the connection is made. this commit also localizes the prompt handling
to the nxos module
The network config and template modules share a set of common functions that
have been pulled into the netcfg shared module. This is backwards compatible
with the current implemention in the modules.

this avoids issues of parsing a 'string path' and picking up '/' as
a valid path for plugin loader
I was surprised to see complete file content in the (JSON) task output when
in diff-mode. Since we see the diff anyhow, there's no need to send everything
on screen.
`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.
Fixes#12341
Prompt search logic is now localized to the ios shared module instead
of using the common regexps in the shell module. This resolves a number
of problems with ios modules functioning properly
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.
If we're not delegating then we change _connection into a local
connection midway through the file but we don't change
_play_context.connection (no need to alter that). When we later check
it in process_remote() we need to know the actual connection, not the
connection that we thought we were going to use at the start of run().
So we have to use _connection.transport in process_remote(). The rest
of the places could use either one (because we have not yet changed to
a local connection) but we go ahead and switch those to
_connection.transport as well to avoid confusion in the future.

* Can be configured in the ansible.cfg for tasks/handlers individually
* If an included filename contains no vars or loops, it will be expanded
in-place as if it were marked as static
* class_only was a keyword arg of get() and all() that was mistakenly
passed on to Plugins. Be sure to strip it from the keyword args
before instantiating Plugins. (Reworked API probably should either
not instantiate Plugins or take the args for the Plugin as a separate
list and a dict.)
* Checking required base_classes was only done in get() and only if
class_only was False (ie: that Plugin was instantiated). This meant
that different plugins could be found depending on whether the call
was to .get() or to all() and whether it was for classes or instances.
Fixed so that required base_classes are always checked.
Modules shouldn't need to import boto.ec2.
The check was to test if profile_name was supported by boto.
Two years after the introduction of the support, we will now
assume that if people are passing `profile`, they are using
a version of boto that supports it (this requirement is
already documented in the aws documentation fragment)
Also remove even older version check for `validate_certs`
Fixes#1901
* Make role param resolution follow the role dependency chain, rather
than using all roles within the play
* Also move params to be merged in after role vars in general, to match
our variable precedence rules
* Changes to the way var lookup is done in role helper methods for
get_vars(), get_inherited_vars(), and get_role_params() to make the
above possible without trampling on previously merged vars
Fixes#14472Fixes#14475
On none-Linux systems `get_distribution()` returns `None`, which fails in `fetch_url`, because the return value of `get_distribution()` is not checked before calling `lower()` on the result.
This commit address a number of minor updates the nxos shared module
* connect() is now lazy loaded
* parse inner output messages when errored
* code syntax cleanup
* Make documentation examples into code blocks
* Make code to call the subsets more general.
* Made min subset always execute (cannot disable it).
* Use a passed in modules parameter rather than global modules. This is needed for ziploader
* Remove unneeded __init__()
* Remove uneeded multiple inheritance from a base class
* gather_facts is now a list type
This commit adds a new feature to allow implementations of shell to
specify the command prompt regexp to be used. It allows adds a new
kwarg at instantiation to kick the remote device with a carriage return.
By default the kickstart flag is true but can be disabled by passing
kickstart=False.
This commit address to issues in the eos shard module. The first one
is a bug fix for returning the running config when the transport is eapi.
The shared module will now return config text instead of an object. The
second is a optimization that delays when the eos module connects to the
remote devices. This provies a performance enhancement when using
ssh since the module doesn't default to connecting immediately
Just including the `ssl` key in the config for MySQLdb.connect, causes it to check for the existence of SSL support. This patch only adds the key if one of the ssl configuration options is included.
On some switches, starting an SSH connection and immediately calling
recv() will result in a connection timeout. The switch requires some
input on the channel before it provides any prompt.
As such, this patch sends an empty command immediately upon connection,
triggering the switch to send a prompt which the shell can then
interpret.

* Unit tests exposed a problem where nested blocks did not correctly
hit rescue/always portions of parent blocks
* Cleaned up logic in PlayIterator
* Unfortunately fixing the above exposed a potential problem in the
block integration tests, where a failure in an "always" section may
always lead to a failed state and the termination of execution
beyond that point, so certain parts of the block integration test
were disabled.
This implements solution #1 in the proposal #14860.
It only shows the diff if the task induced a change, which means that if the changed_when control overrides the task, not diff will be produced.

Update the profile task callback plugin to include a fix for duplicate named tasks. Added additional features to adjust the number of tasks output and the sort order.

This commit fixes two bugs in the openswitch shared module. The first
bug was a wrong argument type for the use_ssl argument. It was set
to int and should be bool. The second changes the default ports for http
(was 80, now 8091) and https (was 443, now 18091). This change aligns
the default port values with the OS
This commit changes the key the ops_template will search for in order
to backup the current configuration to local disk on the Ansible control
host. This change was made to make ops_template consistent with the
other network template modules.
Note that this will break if we deal with non-utf8 paths. Fixing this
way because converting everythig to byte strings instead is a very
invasive task so it should be done as a specific feature to provide
support for non-utf8 paths at some point in the future (if needed).
This is the same fix we applied to v1.9 in PR #14565, however it does not fix#14678 completely !
The dictionaries are not being merged as tey are on v1.9.
The use of realpath means when following symlinks the actual path is
used when loading these files in the VariableManager, which may not
line up with the host or group name specified.
Fixes#14545
The find_mount_point function does not resolve the mount point of paths with a soft-link correctly and returns the wrong mount-point.
I have mounted an NFS filesystem on /nfs-mount. This directory contains a directory called "directory". I also created a soft-link to this last directory: /soft-link-to-directory -> /nfs-mount/directory. I created the following task to copy a file into /soft-link-to-directory:
- name: copy file to nfs-mount
copy:
src: "file"
dest: "/soft-link-to-directory/file"
This throws an exception:
invalid selinux context: [Errno 95] Operation not supported
This is caused by the find_mount_point function to return '/' as the mount point for '/soft-link-to-directory/file'. This should have been /nfs-mount. Because the find_mount_point returns the wrong mount-point, the is_special_selinux_path function does not recognise the file is on an NFS mount and tries to set the default SELinux context (system_u:object_r:default_t:s0), which fails. The context should have been: system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0

The setup module calls /bin/lsblk once for each device appearing in the /etc/mtab file. However, the same device appears there mutliple times when the system uses bind-mounts. As a result, /bin/lsblk is being called repeatedly to get the uuid of the same device.
On a system with many mounts, this leads to a TimeoutError in the get_mount_facts function of the setup module as described in #14551.

The module docs and vault changes solve issues where tracebacks can
happen. The galaxy changes are mostly refactoring to be more pythonic
with a small chance that a unicode traceback could have occurred there

bytes coming in already so I didn't want to change that without auditing
where the text was coming from.

This addresses two issues with the nxos shared module. The first issue is
argument precedence checking. The module should prefer explicit arguments
over arguments passed vi the provider. This is now fixed to honor that
precedence. The second issue is collecting output from nxapi and returning
the response. Prior to this change the entire json structure was returned.
Now just the output is returned to align it better with cli based output
The eos shared module should prefer to use explicit task arguments over
arguments provided through the provider. This fixes a problem where
that was not the case
So far, when a 'diff' dict is returned with module results, it is
checked for 'before' and 'after' texts, which are processed in
_get_diff() by python difflib. This generates the changes to display
when CLI users specify --diff.
However, some modules will generate changes that cannot easily be
expressed in a conventional diff. One example is the output of the
synchronize module, which presents changed files in a common log format
as in `rsync --itemize-changes`.
Add a check for a diff['prepared'] key, which can contain prepared diff text
from modules.
* In 2.0.0.x become was reversed for synchronize. It was happening on
the local machine instead of the remote machine. This restores the
ansible-1.9.x behaviour of doing become on the remote machine.
However, there's aspects of this that are hacky (no hackier than
ansible-1.9 but not using 2.0 features). The big problem is that it
does not understand any become method except sudo. I'm willing to use
a partial fix now because we don't want people to get used to the
reversed semantics in their playbooks.

Role definitions typically require params to be different from those

for roles, however a certain subset should be allowed (typically those
used for connection stuff).
Fixes#14095
The dep chain for roles created during the compile step had bugs, in
which the dep chain was overwriten and the original tasks in the role

some cases roles were not correctly getting variables from parents.

by moving to en-bloc unicode conversion to act on scripts stdout
Both python-json and simplejson always return unicode strings when using
their loads() method on unicode strings. This is true at least since

need to recursively check the strings contained in the inventory dict

affects people using the API directly right now, but wanted to fix it
to prevent weird errors from popping up.
Instead of bombing out of the strategy, we now properly mark hosts failed
so that the play iterator can handle block rescue/always properly.
Fixes#14024
When using a playbook-level include, we now catch any errors raised during
the conditional evaluation step and set a flag to indicate we need to pass
those conditionals on to the included play (most likely because they contain
inventory variables for evaluation).
Fixes#14003
This causes problems when fetching parent attributes, as the include
was being skipped because the parent block would fetch the attribute
from the parent play first.
Fixes#13872
this was taken out in an effort to default to the user's shell but creates issues as this is not known ahead of time
and its painful to set executable and shell_type for all servers, it should only be needed for those that restrict the user
to specific shells and when /bin/sh is not available. raw and command may still bypass this by explicitly passing None.

still conditional
The provider argument accepts the set of device common arguments as a
dict object. Individual connection arguments can still be included and
take priority over the provider argument. This update includes additions
to the nxos doc fragment
New argument `provider` added to the ios shared module that provides
the ability to pass all of the common ios arguments as a dict. This commit
includes some minor bugfixes and refactoring of names. It also includes
udpates to the ios documentation fragment for the new argument
Adds a new argument `provider` to the eos shared module and updates the
eos doc fragment. This commit includes some additional minor fixes and
code refactors for naming conventions. The `provider` argument allows the
shared module arguments to be passed as a dict object instead of having
to pass each argument invididually.
This commit adds a new argument `provider` to the iosxr shared module that
allows common connection parameters to be passed as a dict object. The
constraints on the args still applies. This commit also updates the iosxr
doc fragment.
Adds new argument `provider` to the openswitch shared module. The provider
argument can pass all openswitch connection arguments as a dict object. This
update includes adding the provider argument to the openswitch doc fragment
This commit adds a new argument `provider` to the junos shared module. The
argument allows the set of common connection args to be passed to the
junos shared module. This commit also updates the junos doc fragment
This commit provides an argument to provide a path to the private key
file. This will allow paramiko to use the key file as opposed to only
username / password combinations for CLI connections.
Letting it pass would just cause an error later on (no such file found)
so it's better to catch it here and know that we have users dealing with
non-utf8 pathnames than to have to track it down from later on.
Note that the fix for display normalizing to unicode is correct but the
fix for pathnames is probably not. Changing pathnames to unicode type
means that we will handle utf8 pathnames fine but pathnames can be any
sequence of bytes that do not contain null. We do not handle sequences
of bytes that are not valid utf8 here. To do that we need to revamp the
handling of basedir and paths to transform to bytes instead of unicode.
Didn't want to do that in 2.0.x as it will potentially introduce other
bugs as we find all the places that we combine basedir with other path
elements. Since no one has raised that as an issue thus far so it's not
something we need to handle yet. But it's something to keep in mind for
the future.
To test utf8 handling, create a utf8 directory and run a playbook from
within there.
To test non-utf8 handling (currently doesn't work as stated above), create
a directory with non-utf8 chars an run a playbook from there. In bash,
create that directory like this: mkdir $'\377'
Fixes#13937
* Don't re-use the existing connection if the remote_addr field of
the play context has changed
* When overriding variables in PlayContext (from task/variables),
don't set the same attribute based on a different variable name
if we had already previously set it from another variable name
Fixes#13880
* Relocate the assignment of the host address to the remote_addr field
in the play context, which was only done when the connection was created
(it's now done after the post_validate() is called on the play context)
* Make the assignment of the play context to the connection an else, since
it's not required if the connection is not reused
This is because we pass arguments to non-newstyle modules via an
external file. If we pipeline, then the interpreter thinks it has to
run the arguments as the script instead of what is piped in via stdin.
keeps backwards compat by not removing the previouslly non grammer matching states
and introduces new ones so user can decide which one he wants
(or keep both and still be inconsistent to annoy those that care)
If this isnt updated, the _connection is reused, and thus has an outdated _play_context
This results in outdated `success_key` and `prompt` causing issues if sudo is run in a loop
Refer to the issue #13763 for more debugging and details
The nxapi module has been superseded by the nxos shared module and is not longer needed. This commit removes (deletes) nxapi from module_utils. All custom modules that have used nxapi should be using nxos instead.
