In our environment we have custom services that need to be stopped and
restarted very gracefully to not interrupt active sessions.
A stop job, depending on the state, can take up to 20 minutes until the
process exits. It simply reacts to SIGTERM with a graceful shutdown.
By default, systemctl blocks until the job has completed, which leads to
Ansible hanging on this task for up to 20 minutes.
Thankfully systemctl supports the `--no-block` flag which lets the job
continue in the background.
This PR adds support for that flag as the `no_block` boolean option.
From the man page:
--no-block
Do not synchronously wait for the requested operation to
finish. If this is not specified, the job will be
verified, enqueued and systemctl will wait until the
unit's start-up is completed. By passing this argument,
it is only verified and enqueued. This option may not be
combined with --wait.
Not all file-related modules consistently use "path" as the attribute to specify a single filename, some use "dest", others use "name". Most do have aliases for either "name" or "destfile".
This change makes "path" the default attribute for (single) file-related modules, but also adds "dest" and "name" as aliases, so that people can use a consistent way of attributing paths, but also to ensure backward compatibility with existing playbooks.
NOTE: The reason for changing this, is that it makes Ansible needlessly harder to use if you have to remember that e.g. the xattr module requires the name attribute, the lineinfile module requires a dest attribute, and the stat module requires a path attribute.
* removed bad iteration from execute meta
most of the tasks should not be iterated over, others needed to include unreachable hosts
fixes#19673
* corrected host var
Replace docs build-site.py with default-ish sphinx build
This seems to speed up docsite build _alot_.
The Makefile.sphinx is the sphinx-quickstart generated makefile with a few changes.
The CPUS env var or 'nproc' output is used for the number of cpus passed to 'sphinx-build -j'
* Only add Content-Type if not specified in headers. Fixes#20046
* Update documentation to indicate body_format will not override Content-Type if specified in headers
* Add dimensiondata.py in module_utils
This is required by the Dimension Data modules under
lib/ansible/modules/extras/cloud/dimensiondata
* Implement change requests from PR #17604
Requests are listed in:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/17604#pullrequestreview-819380
* Changes requested for Ansible PR #16704.
As noted by @abadger:
- Use Py3-compatible import syntax for ConfigParser.
- Use comprehensions instead of filter function.
- Fix buggy comparison of False to 'False'.
- Change b_dict to block_dict.
- Fix invalid syntax for except block that handles multiple exception types.
* Additional changes requested for Ansible PR #16704.
As noted by @abadger:
- Missed a couple of places where we still had invalid exception-handling syntax.
* Remove shebang from dimensiondata.py (Ansible PR #16704).
* Switch to MCP_USER / MCP_PASSWORD.
This is consistent with other Dimension Data Tooling.
* Implement get_configured_credentials.
* Fix typo (missing comma).
* Unify get_credentials implementation (ansible/ansible#17604).
get_credentials will now look in environment, dotfile, and module configuration for credentials (in that order).
* Resolve user Id and password from module configuration before trying environment or dotfile (ansible/ansible#17604).
* new module to check FW readines
* added missing parameter
* changes based on the review comments; remove unecessary if statements; change returned value docstring
* Make ModuleArgsParser more understandable
Both comments and method names for handling new/old
style parameters are switched around
Made comments and method names reflect actual code paths
taken.
* Further improve mod_args.py comments
Ensure output formats are correctly documented,
remove some of the 'opinion' about which formats are
valid, and try and clarify the situations under which
certain code paths are hit.
Stop talking about the YAML command-type form as 'extra
gross' when it's the documented example form for command
etc.!
* Fixes#3539 "win_robocopy does not return changed properly"
Remove .win_robocopy from $result so that ansible can see the values properly. This also matches up with the existing documentation.
* Update documentation to match new return values
* add support for AIX mount facts
* add nfs mount support for AIX mount facts
* make nfs parsing a bit more resilient and correctly parse options if provided
* self.module.xxx call instead of wrong module.xxx
* vmware_inventory: permit to group by custom field
This permits to create instances, affect some custom fields like EC2 tags and then retrieve groups from custom fields like EC2 inventory
* vmware_inventory: Customize skip_keys & add resourceconfig to skip_keys
Verify if customfield is a str before processing custom fields for a host
Because we add the names of all filters to the callable whitelist used
by safe_eval, adding a filter named type makes it so code calling "type()"
gets eval'd. We can't think of a way to exploit this but it's
sufficiently sketchy that we're renaming it in case someone smarter than
us can think of a problem.
