In order to simplify the workflow with the GCE modules, it's now
possible to add the parameters and project name as arguments to the
various GCE modules.
The inventory plugin also returns the IP of the host in
`ansible_ssh_host` so that you don't have to specify IPs into the
inventory file.
Some update to the documentation are also added.
Closes#5583.
It came up that fixing this unit test may relate to another ticket that is open. This work allows us to uncomment this unit test by fixing how we pars variables allowing a quoted variable to contain a '#'.
Work also went into cleaning up some of the test data to clarify what was working.
Lastly work went into cleaning up formatting so that the code is easily read.
Add support for checking host against global known host files.
The effect of this is that before this fix if files are spread across the known_hosts file but not in the ~/known_hosts file the hosts will execute sequentially. This PR augments the functionality so that all of the knowns hosts will execute in parallel.
##### Issue Type:
Bugfix Pull Request
##### Ansible Version:
ansible 1.4.3
##### Environment:
N/A
##### Summary:
We are using a wrapper python script to run ansible-playbook. We use subprocess to execute and print the stdout as and when its written. Problem is when we use pause it doesn't display the prompt string as raw_input does not flush stdout before reading from stdin.
It looks like a dirty fix to add "\n" to the prompt string but i don't see any other way to over come this. If anyone else have a better fix please do propose/suggest.
##### Steps To Reproduce:
```yaml
#File: test_play.yml
- name: Test
hosts: $nodes
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Waiting for User
local_action: pause prompt="Do you want to continue (yes/no)? "
```
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python
#File: test.py
import shlex, subprocess
def run_process(process):
process = process.encode("utf-8")
command = shlex.split(process)
p = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
for line in iter(p.stdout.readline, b''):
print line,
cmd = "/usr/bin/python -u /usr/bin/ansible-playbook -i hosts.txt test_play.yml -e 'nodes=local'"
run_process(cmd)
```
```
shell $ python test.py
```
##### Expected Results:
```
PLAY [Test] *******************************************************************
TASK: [Waiting for User] ******************************************************
[localhost]
Do you want to continue (yes/no)? :
```
##### Actual Results:
```
PLAY [Test] *******************************************************************
TASK: [Waiting for User] ******************************************************
[localhost]
```
Addresses GH-5116.
It comes up that when parsing json that if you are missing the last double quote on the last variable and the next line is just '}' we will get an out of range error. In this instance we will also then make sure that the line is long enough to have two colons.
Create a lookup plugin named dict that can be used to loop over hashes.
It converts a dict into a list of key-value pairs, with attributes named
"key" and "value." Also adds a brief explanation and simple example to
the docs.
