This allows not messing up the wonderful error reporting that is
carefully created. Instead of:
$ ansible-playbook foo.yml
[ERROR]: ERROR! 'foo' is not a valid attribute for a Task The error appears
to have been in '/Users/marca/dev/git-repos/ansible/foo.yml': line 4, column 7,
but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. The
offending line appears to be: tasks: - name: do something ^ here
we get:
$ ansible-playbook foo.yml
ERROR! 'foo' is not a valid attribute for a Task
The error appears to have been in '/Users/marca/dev/git-repos/ansible/foo.yml': line 4, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
tasks:
- name: do something
^ here
which is much nicer.
- become constants inherit existing sudo/su ones
- become command line options, marked sudo/su as deprecated and moved sudo/su passwords to runas group
- changed method signatures as privlege escalation is collapsed to become
- added tests for su and become, diabled su for lack of support in local.py
- updated playbook,play and task objects to become
- added become to runner
- added whoami test for become/sudo/su
- added home override dir for plugins
- removed useless method from ask pass
- forced become pass to always be string also uses to_bytes
- fixed fakerunner for tests
- corrected reference in synchronize action plugin
- added pfexec (needs testing)
- removed unused sudo/su in runner init
- removed deprecated info
- updated pe tests to allow to run under sudo and not need root
- normalized become options into a funciton to avoid duplication and inconsistencies
- pushed suppored list to connection classs property
- updated all connection plugins to latest 'become' pe
- includes fixes from feedback (including typos)
- added draft docs
- stub of become_exe, leaving for future v2 fixes
Split out parsing of vars files to per host and per group
parsing, instead of reparsing all groups for each host. This enhances
performance.
Extend vars_plugins' API with two new methods:
* get host variables: only parses host_vars
* get group variables: only parses group_vars for specific group
The initial run method is still used for backward compatibility.
Parse all vars_plugins at inventory initialisation, instead of
per host when touched first by runner. Here we can also loop through
all groups once easily, then parse them.
This also centralizes all parsing in the inventory constructor.

And also print to stdout not err
This lines up with how ansible-playbook will exit. 0 in the case of no
matched hosts. This makes it easier to script ansible commands w/
variable iventory input which may or may not have an entry for the
specific ansible task being scripted. No matched hosts is acceptable,
but matched hosts w/ failures is not.
Provide hints to playbook callers that a playbook execution had
unreachable vs failures. 2 == failures, 3 == no failures, but
unreachable hosts. 0 continues to be all good.
With the command line option "-c local", ansible and ansible-playbook
should never ask for a SSH password even if this is set in the config.
Fixes#3720
* Moved the --list-hosts option that is common to both `ansible` and
`ansible-playbook` into utils/__init__.py (corrects a FIXME)
* Wrote new help text for the --list-hosts option that makes sense
for both of the commands that it applies to
* Changed the usage argument in `ansible-playbook` so that it is
setup in the base_parser method the same way that it is in
the `ansible` executable
* Updated the help text for several options to correct typos,
clarify meaning, improve readability, or fix grammatical errors.
In the case of `ansible-pull`, I changed the help text so that
it adheres to the same standards as the other executables.
