Two problems here
* unchecked exception handling and erroneous assumption as to why
an exception might fire
* although the file module expands the path, when using file_args
the unexpanded path is passed.
Expected result: ~/path/to/file should work fine
Actual result: exception is because it doesn't find file with a message
about not being able to get the selinux context
Added two additional template variables
* template_fullpath - absolute path to the template
* template_run_date - date that the template was rendered
Documented these additional variables in the module documentation
Path might have to be expanded on some operations. It seems that path
containing '~' are not.
Using os.path.expanduser in appropriate places solves the problem, but
this might be required in many other places.
It seems that os.path.basename(__file__) can return a unicode
string. In this case syslog.openlog fails. Forcing the result
to a string causes the resulting error to go away.
Since we use 'raw' heavily on equipment where 'command' and 'shell' are not (yet) working (and python may need to be installed first using raw) these improvements are necessary in order to write more complex scripts (with return code handling and separated stdout/stderr).
This change includes the following changes:
- exec_command() now returns the return code of the command
- _low_level_exec_command() now returns a dict, including 'rc', 'stdout' and 'stderr'
- all users of the above interfaces have been improved to make use of the above changes
- all connection plugins have been modified to return rc and stderr
- fix the newline problem (stdout and stderr would have excess newlines)
In a future commit I intend to add assertions or error handling code to verify the return code in those places where it wasn't done. Since only the output was available, the return code was ignored, even though we expect them to be 0.
Three changes:
* Add set_default_selinux_context() to module_common that sets
a file's context according to the defaults in the policy
* In atomic_replace(), set the default context for the file if
selinux is enabled and the destination file does not exist.
* In authorized_key, set the default context when creating
$HOME/.ssh and $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys. If these already
exist, this won't touch them.
I guess my previous pull request was confusing, by changing the message to something we already do for tasks, it makes it more clear.
Just like we say:
TASK: [foo bar]
skipping: [system01]
The message now is more clear:
PLAY [wagawaga] *******************************
skipping: no hosts matched
It makes it clear that we are skipping the play, just as is done for a task when a condition is not met.
This allows patterns such as webservers:!debian:&datacenter1 to target
hosts in the webservers group, that are not in the debian group, but are
in the datacenter1 group. It also parses patterns left to right.
I hit the following exception because errno is referenced but not imported.
```
