This makes the line parsing a lot more robust (and easier to read).
Code supplied by @dhozac, thanks!
Remove re import because this is not used anywhere.
When trying to perform enabled=yes followed by enabled=no
against FreeBSD the module would die with the following error:
TypeError: sub() takes at most 4 arguments (5 given)
The target FreeBSD client (8.2) is running python 2.6.6. It seems the
extra 'flags' argument was added to re.sub() in 2.7.
In fixing this issue I have attempted to create a general atomic method
for modifying a rc.conf file. Hopefully this will make it easier to add
other rc based platorms. The strip/split magic was inspired by the user
module.
This change avoids the "tcgetattr: Invalid argument" error by making sure the ssh we start does have a proper pseudo-tty.
We could also check whether our current terminal is a proper terminal (by doing a tcgetattr ourselves) but I don't think this adds anything.
This closes#1662 (if all use-cases have been tested: sudo, passwd)
* Basically the moving parts from the original service module arranged in
subclasses.
* General structure and helper methods comes from the user module.
* Less forgiving to unsupported platforms: it requires a subclass per platform.
(This makes it easier to work on one platform without having to think about.
what other platform might be affected in unexpected ways).
* Now has basic OpenBSD support.
* Solaris support needs to be added.
Thanks to @dhozac for general advice and Linux testing.
Thanks to @bcoca for clearing up some FreeBSD questions.
Otherwise, a host in two groups, A and B, using a variable defined
in group A and all will get the value of all, as B's variables will
include the all variable.
Partially fixes#1647.
global_vars has higher precedence than inventory. Putting the all
group's variables into it overrides all other groups and hosts.
Partially fixes#1647.
I added all known virtualization types from the virt-what project. However, the few virt types that rely on cpuid information have not been implemented lacking native python cpuid access. (hyperv)
As reported on the mailinglist, the user received a ValueError when the port number was not templated (fixed in #1649) and therefore it was not an integer. This change will catch the exception and provide a proper error so it is more clear.
