* 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.
