Module consumers using the API don't have to know how this works. base64 stuff is only there
because escaping a docstring inside a docstring was a bit of a challenge :)
get module (with new module-magic-code!)
Usage: ansible -m get -a "url=http://xxxxxxx dest=fileordirctory"
all cleanups as per @mpdehaan's suggestions
add daisychain
added example playbook (get_url.yml) with URLencode example
get_interfaces() updated to read /proc/net/dev. This means it no
longer provides only interfaces that are up.
get_iface_hwaddr() updated to read from /sys/class/net/<iface>/address.
Added get_interface_facts() to pull in mac address and interface mtu.
Can be used later for additional interface-facts.
Added get_ipv6_facts(), which reads from /proc/net/if_inet6.
get_network_facts() renamed to get_ipv4_facts(). It still calls
ifconfig to determine ipv4 facts.
The Facts class and subclasses no longer take a dict argument for
instantiation. populate() now returns self.facts.
Other changes:
- Facts.__init__() takes over most of the work from populate() so that
subclasses can benefit from its knowledge.
- Drop setting unknown facts to 'NA' in __init__() in various
subclasses.
- Check for presence of facts in get_virtual_facts()
- Update ansible_facts() to use facts.update(<classname>().populate())
This changes and organizes facts into a base class Facts and several
sub classes that implement the necessary functionality. The classes
are:
- Facts: base class. Implements basic facts that should be common to a
number of platforms. It is also where SSH keys and SELinux facts are
set.
- Hardware: A subclass of Facts that should be further
subclassed per platform for CPU, memory, and related facts.
- LinuxHardware: subclass of Hardware for Linux platforms
- SunOSHardware: subclass of Hardware for SunOS platforms
- FreeBSDHardware: subclass of Hardware for FreeBSD
- Network: A subclass of Facts that that should be further
subclassed per platform for IP, both IPv4 and IPv6, information.
- LinuxNetwork: Currently only implementation for determining network
facts.
- Virtual: A subclass of Facts that that should be further
subclassed per platform to determine virtual environment facts.
- LinuxVirtual: Currently only implementation for determining virtual
facts.
If facts are needed for additional platforms, one of the above classes
(eg Network) can be further subclassed and implement the necessary
functionality.
In addition, it fixes get_network_facts() to work on Fedora17. That
broke due to changes to ifconfig output.
should be a huge reduction of total ansible source, at a slight cost of difficulty in original module development.
We need to apply this now to all modules, but may need to have some exemptions to things like command, which should
subclass this module.
The service module was printing stuff to stderr, returning two
JSON dicts, not using consistent 'failed' values, had dead code
and unused variables. Added detection for the case when service
status returns 'xxx is dead and pid file exists' and made the
code a bit easier to read.
(Also a fix for the user module error handling when the user
is not present at the time of the return. This can only really be caused by multiple ansible executions).
Takes a lot of the fixes to the user module and applies them to the
group module: provide stdout/stderr in result if available and call
fail_json() if the attempted action fails.
The user module now returns the output, both stdout and stderr, from
useradd, usermod, and userdel. This should help debug cases why one of
those commands fail. In addition, the user module will now call
fail_json() when the attempted command failed so as to properly
communicate a failure in a playbook.
This flag will show playbook output from non-failing commands. -v is also added to /usr/bin/ansible, but not yet used.
I also gutted some internals code dealing with 'invocations' which allowed the callback to know what module invoked
it. This is not something 0.5 does or needed, so callbacks have been simplified.
- Added Upstart support
- Added an initial unknown state
- Prevented state changes when the current state is not recognized
- Changed the keyword recognition to a safer method
Tested with OS X local connection and Linux remote. The paths to the
md5sum and md5 commands are hardcoded to the most common location. This
will definitely fail if the commands are elsewhere, or if the md5
command doesn't support the -q 'quiet' option.
This adds a module that concatenates (ie. assembles) a file from
fragments in a directory in alphabetical order. It chains the file
module afterward to fix up ownership and permission. This also adds
tests for the assemble module with fragments in assemble.d.
This switches to using selinux library calls instead of parsing the
output of sestatus. This fixes issue #428 where the output was slightly
different than expected on F17. Tested against debian (non-selinux),
centos5, centos6, and fedora17.
I think when we stopped using stderr for debugging modules because
paramiko didn't like it, many modules used the idiom of defining
a debug function that used standard error. The def's and calls were
removed.
This looks like a stray debug() that didn't get removed and didn't
show up unless you alter a user's groups. If it's hit, 'user' fails
with a global undefined function error.
The ohai and facter modules use /usr/bin/logger to log the fact that
they have been invoked. I added 'import os' to the ping module
so that it could have the same syslog statements as the other modules.
I separated the condensed:
shlex.split(open(argfile, 'r').read())
into two separate statements similar to the other modules.
