* Don't filter hosts remaining based on their failed state. Instead rely
on the PlayIterator to return None/ITERATING_COMPLETE when the host is
failed.
* In the free strategy, make sure we wait outside the host loop for all
pending results to be processed.
* Use the internal _set_failed_state() instead of manually setting things
when a failed child state is hit
Fixes#15623
In `lib/ansible/executor/play_iterator.py`, ansible sets a host's
`_gathered_facts` property to `True` without checking to see if there
are any tasks to be executed. In the event that the entire play is
skipped, `_gathered_facts` will be `True` even though the `setup`
module was never run.
This patch modifies the logic to only set `_gathered_facts` to `True`
when there are tasks to execute.
Closes#15744.
This changeset addresses the issue reported here:
ansible/ansible-modules-core#1765
The yum module (at least) includes its task results as strings, rather than
dicts, and the code this changeset replaces assumed that in that instance the
task was skipped. The updated behaviour assumes that the task has been
skipped only if:
* results exist, and
* all results are dicts that include a truthy skipped value
Issue #15633 observes that a meta: inventory_refresh task causes the playbook
to exit. An inventory refresh flushes all caches and rebuilds all host
objects, assigning new UUIDs to each. These new host UUIDs currently fail to
match those on host objects stored for restrictions in the inventory, causing
the playbook to exit for having no hosts to run further tasks against.
This changeset attempts to address this issue by storing host restrictions
by name, and comparing inventory host names against these names when applying
restrictions in get_hosts.
* better fix for arch version detection
fixes #15696
* be extra safe about tracebacks in facts.py
* add comments to explain the setup
* make allowempty more conservative, ignore file content
* wrap function call in try/except
* should never happen, but if it happens the bug should be distribtion=N/A and not a traceback
* alias module is very basic and removing it leads to the suse default
config failing
* future improvements might test different modules and the effect of
them being removed
* When var name is the same as var content, try to template it before reporting that var is not defined.
Add asserts in test_var_blending to check this special corner case.
* Fix integration tests when using debug with list or dict.
It wasn't doing anything that a literal couldn't do and used
unicode_escape which only understands latin1 (The author of the code
seems to have thought it took an encoding argument but it looks like
that was silently ignored.)
This was reinitialized every time we forked before so we weren't sharing
the same Locks. It also was not accounting for modules which were
directly invoked by an action plugin instead of going through the
strategy plguins.
