This PR is based on #20164 functionality to specify the parameter type
(e.g. as done for python modules).
In this case only -type "path" has a specific meaning, as it will expand
environment variables for paths. Which is typically done on Windows.
So you can do:
- win_copy:
src: files/some.doc
dest: '%UserProfile%\My Documents'
* win_shortcut: Create, manage, remove Windows shortcuts
This modules manages Windows shortcuts and all its properties.
The module is idempotent and supports check-mode.
This relates to #19694
* Changes required after @nitzmahone review
* Added -type "path" to parameter definitions
* Small fixes
- Add conversion from window style name to window style id
- Fix error message output (Why didn't the original work ?)
* Tweaks for SmartOS:
- prevent attempting from changing timezone in the global zone (read-only)
- provide meaningful error message in the unlikely case smtools isn't present
* Add support for FreeBSD and NetBSD to timezone module
* vmware_guest: networks definition as a list
Currently the networks definition is a dict, with the network range as
key. This is problematic if the network information is coming from other
sources.
This patch turns the networks definition into a list.
This fixes#19222.
* Remove the option to provide either netmask or network
It is more concise if there's only one way to configure it.
So provide both `ip` and `network`.
(I also re-indented a section due to a useless check)
* Fix bugs reported by @dav1x
Thanks !
Changes missing from a poor merge probably, but also a few new things.
- Reordered the examples from important (often used) to less important
(fewer used)
- Remove the new_name: option and replace it with the uuid/name
combination for renaming + added example
- Added an example using the VM uuid instead of the VM name
- Also check whether the password is non-empty (rogue merge)
- Wait for all tasks to finish (to be sure the new facts reflect the
state)
- Ensure that on failure we still set the change-bit
- Moved a set of functions that are unused (related to transfering
files to guest, or running commands) to module_utils
* Allow the use of paths like ~/.project.json
This makes it easy to manage credentials files outside of the repo
(and/or user specific credentials).
* Fix format string to log credentials_file.
* checks if signal hander is set and sets it if not (will be set if coming
from ansible-connection)
* will now timeout long running commands based on DEFAULT_TIMEOUT setting
* Tidy up formatting
* IRC Meetings are the best place to get feedback (due to having an agenda and a large number of Core Team members active)
* Don't repeat the 2.4 ETA, it should only exist in `ROADMAP_2_4.rst`
The password param conflicts with os-client-config's password grabbing.
The rest of the params really probably should also be popped - but
keeping this just to password for now. Will follow up with a change that
does an audit of all the os_ modules
This patch was previously contributed by @emonty to the former
ansible-modules-core repo however since the merge, it was closed
and not completed. This patch includes the necessary changes cleaned
up to work with the latest release of Ansible. This has been
tested to work internally
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.!
