* Reformat glossary as a sphinx glossary so that :term: will work.
* Add a document decribing program flow for executing modules
* Feedback from @docschick
* More feedback from docschick for the Program Flow: Modules doc
* Changes to address docschick's feedback on the glossary
* Add note section for async plugin
* make singular
* Remove workaround for fixed bug.
The bug where PluginLoader required objects to directly inherit from
base_classes has been fixed. Remove workaround from this strategy
plugin Also switched to using super so that we don't have to modify
all of hte code anytime something like that happens.
* These should be to_uniocde because they're being sent to display()
* now you can specify a yaml invenotry file
* ansible_group_priority will now set this property on groups
* added example yaml inventory
* TODO: make group var merging depend on priority
groups, child/parent relationships should remain unchanged.
Some debuggers are easier to work with when we do everything in a single
process. This debug option caters to that at the expense of being
different from what Ansible will actually do to invoke a module.
When we document this we should be clear that this shouldn't be used for
general purpose debugging and that some modules may show strange
"errors" when used with this. Those won't be considered real bugs as
it's not how ansible really invokes the modules.
action plugins will now skip _fixup_perms for Powershell. We'll have to come up with another way to do this at some point, but it's not necessary yet since we don't support become on Windows. Also added NotImplementedError throws to chmod/chown/set_facl operations on Powershell (instead of returning '') in case anyone tries to use them in the future.
fixes#15312
* Run the module as a script from the wrapper instead of executing in the same process.
Fixes cornercases where the module could potentially be executed twice
if we import and then run the main() function without calling sys.exit()
somewhere.
Also fixes problem with concurrent.futures() hanging. Not sure
precisely how this is being triggered but it is related to invoking the
main() function outside of an if __name__ == '__main__' conditional.
* Fix for python-2.6
This reverts commit 1ffadbcc80.
Some modules seem to have path listed for things that are "commands" --
something that may be a path to a command or a bare command that should
be looked up in PATH. With this change, if they were formerly looked up
inPATH they are now being made into an absolute path in the cwd.
Reverting this until we can think more about whether to do this and
change those modules to not use path for those parameters.
* Ziploader proof of concept (jimi-c)
* Cleanups to proof of concept ziploader branch:
* python3 compatible base64 encoding
* zipfile compression (still need to enable toggling this off for
systems without zlib support in python)
* Allow non-wildcard imports (still need to make this recusrsive so that
we can have module_utils code that imports other module_utils code.)
* Better tracebacks: module filename is kept and module_utils directory
is kept so that tracebacks show the real filenames that the errors
appear in.
* Make sure we import modules that are used into the module_utils files that they are used in.
* Set ansible version in a more pythonic way for ziploader than we were doing in module replacer
* Make it possible to set the module compression as an inventory var
This may be necessary on systems where python has been compiled without
zlib compression.
* Refactoring of module_common code:
* module replacer only replaces values that make sense for that type of
file (example: don't attempt to replace python imports if we're in
a powershell module).
* Implement configurable shebang support for ziploader wrapper
* Implement client-side constants (for SELINUX_SPECIAL_FS and SYSLOG)
via environment variable.
* Remove strip_comments param as we're never going to use it (ruins line
numbering)
* Don't repeat ourselves about detecting REPLACER
* Add an easy way to debug
* Port test-module to the ziploader-aware modify_module()
* strip comments and blank lines from the wrapper so we send less over the wire.
* Comments cleanup
* Remember to output write the module line itself in powershell modules
* for line in lines strips the newlines so we have to add them back in
