Exception was raised when trying to use ssh-agent for authentication to
ios devices. This fix enables ssh-agent and enable use of password
protected ssh keys. There is one additional fix to capture authentication
exceptions nicely.
* Port urls.py to python3
Fixes (largely normalizing byte vs text strings) for python3
* Rework what we do with attributes that aren't set already.
* Comments
Has already been transferred as a tempfile.
This fixes the error in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/16125
but there may be higher level issues that should be fixed as well (other
modules might be able to cause status fields like failed and changed to
return a censored string instead of a bool). So leaving 16125 open for
now.
If someone run:
ansible all -m file state=present
The error message is "Missing target hosts" which is misleading, since
the target hosts is here, the problem is the missing '-a'.
* 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.
