Fixes#3686
Dependencies are enabled by adding a new directory/file named
meta/main.yml to the role. The format of the dependencies are:
dependencies:
- { role: foo, x: 1, y: 2 }
- { role: bar, x: 3, y: 4 }
...
Dependencies inherit variables as they are seen at the time of the
dependency inclusion. For example, if foo(x=1, y=2) has a dependency
on bar(x=3,z=4), then bar will have variables (x=3,y=2,z=4).
Different roles can have dependencies on the same role, and this
variable inheritence allows for the reuse of generic roles quite easily.
For example:
Role 'car' has the following dependencies:
dependencies:
- { role: wheel, n: 1 }
- { role: wheel, n: 2 }
- { role: wheel, n: 3 }
- { role: wheel, n: 4 }
Role 'wheel' has the following dependencies:
dependencies:
- { role: tire }
- { role: brake }
The role 'car' is then used as follows:
- { role: car, type: honda }
And tasks/main.yml in each role simply contains the following:
- name: {{ type }} whatever {{ n }}
command: echo ''
TASK: [honda tire 1]
TASK: [honda brake 1]
TASK: [honda wheel 1]
TASK: [honda tire 2]
TASK: [honda brake 2]
TASK: [honda wheel 2]
TASK: [honda tire 3]
TASK: [honda brake 3]
TASK: [honda wheel 3]
TASK: [honda tire 4]
TASK: [honda brake 4]
TASK: [honda wheel 4]
TASK: [I'm a honda] <- (this is in roles/car/tasks/main.yml)
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.
1. Debian Squeeze is supported out of box now.
2. Repository type "deb" or "deb-src" should be explicitly specified.
3. If a source had beed added it must be possible to remove it.
4. PPA can be only used against Ubuntu hosts.
by ensuring all basedirs, plugin paths and extra
paths are handled as absolute paths and are checked
to not add any doubles.
This fixes the corner case where e.g. the user has
an additional plugin path configured to a dir
relative to his playbooks or inventory location,
which also matches the _plugin subdir relative to
one of the basedirs in the play.
For most plugins this doesn't show as an obvious issue
except for callback_plugins, which might fire more
than once. Other plugins (inventory and template
plugins) might unnecessarily be ran twice.
e.g. ansible.cfg has
callback_plugins = ./plays/callback_plugins
and plays/ contains a playbook file:
.
├── ansible.cfg
├── inventory
└── plays
├── callback_plugins
│ └── timestamp.py
└── site.yml
