Previously, the delegate_to value was stored in the module_vars of runner,
which could lead to bleeding that value across runs and incorrect hosts
being delegated to. This patch moves the value to a local variable in
the Runner class with some related refactoring of _compute_delegate() in
Runner (since the value is no longer required to be a parameter).
Fixes#8705
Also modifies the template action plugin to use this new param
when executing the file/copy modules for templating so that links
are preserved correctly.
Fixes#8998
The vars_cache was not being properly merged with the setup_cache
for all hosts, which was previously not noticed when registered
variables were stored in the setup_cache.
Fixes#8944
* makes speed acceptable for some datasets
* obfuscates multiple detected passwords
* obfuscates more characters to account for some corner cases when
trying to detect passwords.
Fixes#8364
Currently, ansible -vvvv show the following:
hostname EXEC ['ssh', '-C', '-vvv', '-o', 'ControlMaster=auto',
This is not good if someone want to cut and paste it to see if something
is wrong with the command line, so join the dictionnary strings with spaces
to have 1 string in the output.
This changes the get-attr function slightly, and lets the module specify whether a param is needed and auto-fails if it is not present. A module can now verify params like so::
$params = Parse-Args $args;
$result = New-Object psobject;
Set-Attr $result "changed" $false;
$path = Get-Attr -obj $params -name path -failifempty $true -resultobj $result
or
$params = Parse-Args $args;
$result = New-Object psobject;
Set-Attr $result "changed" $false;
$path = Get-Attr -obj $params -name path -failifempty $true -emptyattributefailmessage "Oh man. You forgot the main part!" -resultobj $result
slight tweak in how the powershell module converts to json in order to support nested objects (allows for more complex facts, among others)
This script gathers some extended facts on windows hosts in a json array attribute called "ansible_interfaces". This info is needed for some network-related modules I'm working on. Required the update to powershell.ps1 to return deeply nested json objects.
