* include source file in error message
* win_copy: Fix for idempotency
This patch fixes an idempotency issue with win_copy. Without this patch
files would always be considered changed (unless the copy operation failed).
It also fixes the resulting output cfr. what was deocumented.
Small improvements:
- Remove obsolete comments
- Use $check_mode instead of my own $_ansible_check_mode
- Renamed "default" window style to "normal" (as is used by Windows
documentation)
- A fix for check-mode support (when state=absent)
* eos module now uses network_cli connection plugin
* adds unit tests for eos module
* eapi support now provided by eapi module
* updates doc fragment for eapi common properties
* Fixed issue in gce_net with firewall rules that have protocols that do not have ports.
* Fixed elif in gce_net to include check of the ports variable.
* Google Cloud Pubsub Module
The Google Cloud Pubsub module allows the Ansible user to:
* Create/Delete Topics
* Create/Delete Subscriptions
* Change subscription from pull to push (and configure endpoint)
* Publish messages to a topic
* Pull messages from a Subscription
An accessory module, gcpubsub_facts, has been added to list topics and subscriptions.
* Added docs for state field to DOCUMENTATION and RETURN blocks.
`force` option is not unique for non-activationkey registrations and it should
be parsed separately; it is possible to register host with activation key and
force such process.
* redhat_subscription: enforce the need for org_id when AK is used
also update the documentation to reflect that
Fixes: #20542
* redhat_subscription: check for existence of subscription-manager
After merging the latest update, these were the few remaining
differences with upstream.
(Plus the previous proposed fast match based on unique VM name which is
not longer needed)
- get rid of changed, rc, stderr, stdout juggling
- use get_bin_path() to get 'imgadm' path
- move actual implementation to Imgadm class
- fix 'changed' for imported images
Without this patch, the os_keystone_domain module is not idempotent if
the description is empty because the description parameter is None in
ansible, but the keystone client returns an empty unicode string.
Following the example of other OpenStack modules, this patch fixes the
issue by checking whether the module parameter is None before going on
to check its value.
Instead of populating the platform comment in the default
meta/main.yml with a dict of platforms fetch from the
galaxy REST API, this removes the API call and adds a
commented out example platforms list to the default meta/main.yml
Fixes#18103
The following changes have been made:
- Added check-mode support
- Added diff support
- Corrected HCCC to HKCC (according to windows documentation)
- Updated documentation, and examples
- Added -aliases support to module_utils/powershell.ps1
- Renamed `key > value > data` to `path > name > data`
- Re-indented code and consistency changes
- Added support for expandstring type
This fixes#20595
when using "state: link", and particularly when using
"force: yes".
Symbolic link resolution can be expensive. In our case,
the symbolic links are legacy links to automounts, and
the "file" task was causing all of the legacy links to
be traversed and mounted on every host every time the
task executed, even when the links were correct and there
was nothing to do.
This change avoids the system calls that perform the
symbolic link resolution by taking advantage of the short
circuit behaviur of the boolean "and" operator. The code
behaviour is unchanged except that it no longer performs
unnecessary system calls.
As it turns out, this change is not sufficient to fully
solve the symbolic link resolution problem, as the "file"
module still performs a stat() at the end of execution to
provide the caller with information about the file.
However, this change is very simple, it will eliminate
unnecessary system calls in a number of use cases, and it
gets the "file" module closer to the desired end result.

* new AWS module for ec2 VPC vgw facts
* fixed documentation as suggested by reviewers
* changed iteritems to items for py 3
* improvements to bring in line with #19787

Now that this module is deemed acceptable for inclusion,
the documentation is an essential part.
* win_psexec: Small cosmetic changes
* win_psexec: add more options (priority, elevated, ...)
* Fixes after more testing
* Renamed 'cmd' to 'psexec_command' + more
- Also replaced PSObject() with a hash table

- Renamed $args to $extra_args
* Various improvements
- Switched to using booleans for most parameters
- Added type 'bool' to boolean parameters
- Added 'interactive' parameter
- Added 'wait' parameter
- Added an interactive example
* Added -type "bool" support to Get-AnsibleParam
* Fix deadlock
* When using `wait:no` return code is PID of process
The same ssh key may be registered with different names. Before we only looked at the names and marked as changed when names differ. However internally cloudstack seems to ignore the change, if the fingerprints are identical.
As a result we also have to compare the fingerprints and only mark the keys as changed if the fingerprints differ.
* Fix git remote url change detection.
When comparing paths, unfrackgitpath must be called on both sides
of the comparison. Otherwise comparisons involving symlinks will
return incorrect results.
* Re-enable git test on OS X.
* Return None from unfrackgitpath when path is None.
Per official docker document, it support setting `--log-driver=none` to
disable any logging for the container. So let's add it to this module.
Fixes#5337
Per a change in jinja2 2.9, local variables no longer are prefixed

(cherry picked from commit 4d49b317929b86e1fc1b0cbace825ff73b372dc7)
After much plumbing through the source code, python-gitlab and the Gitlab API I found out why I cannot update my ssh keys through this module - because it expects the user to have admin rights on the server. This could be made clearer in the requirements because the Gitlab API allows one to change his/her own profile, it's just that the module or the underlying library doesn't cover this use case.
* Add jinja2 groupby filter override to cast namedtuple to tuple. Fixes#20098
* Address some of the requested changes
* Quoting
* Print the python path and version
* Be less explicitly verbose, rely on implicit verbosity
* Deprecate ec2_vpc module

2 years and is causing duplication of effort as changes
are implemented for ec2_vpc rather than for the newer
alternatives
* Improve module deprecation documentation
Update the developing modules documentation with the latest
instructions on how to deprecate a module.
* Windows: Fix documentation strings to be raw strings
Especially when using Windows paths they easily get confused as escaped
sequences or unicode characters. So by default use raw strings
This fixes#20295
* Fixed as hinted by @abadger
And some trailing whitespace fixes.
Rather than trying to enumerate tasks or track an ever changing cur_role
flag in PlayIterator, this change simply sets a flag on the last block in
the list of blocks returned by Role.compile(). The PlayIterator then checks
for that flag when the cur_block number is incremented, and marks the role
as complete if the given host had any tasks run in that role.

* Add dimensiondata_network module
* Remove shebang
* Use Python-2.4-compatible exception handling.
* Ok, add shebang back in.
* Add 'mcp_user' and 'mcp_password' parameters'.
As suggested by @abadger, these values will now be used for CloudControl credentials, but will fall back to existing behaviour (environment variables and dotfile).
* Minor fixes based on feedback for ansible/ansible#19325.
This PR is based on #20164 functionality to specify the parameter type
(e.g. as done for python modules).
In this case only -type "path" has a specific meaning, as it will expand
environment variables for paths. Which is typically done on Windows.
So you can do:
- win_copy:
src: files/some.doc
dest: '%UserProfile%\My Documents'
* win_shortcut: Create, manage, remove Windows shortcuts
This modules manages Windows shortcuts and all its properties.
The module is idempotent and supports check-mode.
This relates to #19694
* Changes required after @nitzmahone review
* Added -type "path" to parameter definitions
* Small fixes
- Add conversion from window style name to window style id
- Fix error message output (Why didn't the original work ?)
* Tweaks for SmartOS:
- prevent attempting from changing timezone in the global zone (read-only)
- provide meaningful error message in the unlikely case smtools isn't present
* Add support for FreeBSD and NetBSD to timezone module
* vmware_guest: networks definition as a list
Currently the networks definition is a dict, with the network range as
key. This is problematic if the network information is coming from other
sources.
This patch turns the networks definition into a list.
This fixes#19222.
* Remove the option to provide either netmask or network
It is more concise if there's only one way to configure it.
So provide both `ip` and `network`.
(I also re-indented a section due to a useless check)
* Fix bugs reported by @dav1x
Thanks !
Changes missing from a poor merge probably, but also a few new things.
- Reordered the examples from important (often used) to less important
(fewer used)
- Remove the new_name: option and replace it with the uuid/name
combination for renaming + added example
- Added an example using the VM uuid instead of the VM name
- Also check whether the password is non-empty (rogue merge)
- Wait for all tasks to finish (to be sure the new facts reflect the
state)
- Ensure that on failure we still set the change-bit
- Moved a set of functions that are unused (related to transfering
files to guest, or running commands) to module_utils
* Allow the use of paths like ~/.project.json
This makes it easy to manage credentials files outside of the repo
(and/or user specific credentials).
* Fix format string to log credentials_file.
* checks if signal hander is set and sets it if not (will be set if coming
from ansible-connection)
* will now timeout long running commands based on DEFAULT_TIMEOUT setting
The password param conflicts with os-client-config's password grabbing.
The rest of the params really probably should also be popped - but
keeping this just to password for now. Will follow up with a change that
does an audit of all the os_ modules
This patch was previously contributed by @emonty to the former
ansible-modules-core repo however since the merge, it was closed
and not completed. This patch includes the necessary changes cleaned
up to work with the latest release of Ansible. This has been
tested to work internally
In our environment we have custom services that need to be stopped and
restarted very gracefully to not interrupt active sessions.
A stop job, depending on the state, can take up to 20 minutes until the
process exits. It simply reacts to SIGTERM with a graceful shutdown.
By default, systemctl blocks until the job has completed, which leads to
Ansible hanging on this task for up to 20 minutes.
Thankfully systemctl supports the `--no-block` flag which lets the job
continue in the background.
This PR adds support for that flag as the `no_block` boolean option.
From the man page:
--no-block
Do not synchronously wait for the requested operation to
finish. If this is not specified, the job will be
verified, enqueued and systemctl will wait until the
unit's start-up is completed. By passing this argument,
it is only verified and enqueued. This option may not be
combined with --wait.
Not all file-related modules consistently use "path" as the attribute to specify a single filename, some use "dest", others use "name". Most do have aliases for either "name" or "destfile".
This change makes "path" the default attribute for (single) file-related modules, but also adds "dest" and "name" as aliases, so that people can use a consistent way of attributing paths, but also to ensure backward compatibility with existing playbooks.
NOTE: The reason for changing this, is that it makes Ansible needlessly harder to use if you have to remember that e.g. the xattr module requires the name attribute, the lineinfile module requires a dest attribute, and the stat module requires a path attribute.
* removed bad iteration from execute meta
most of the tasks should not be iterated over, others needed to include unreachable hosts
fixes#19673
* corrected host var
* Only add Content-Type if not specified in headers. Fixes#20046
* Update documentation to indicate body_format will not override Content-Type if specified in headers
* Add dimensiondata.py in module_utils
This is required by the Dimension Data modules under
lib/ansible/modules/extras/cloud/dimensiondata
* Implement change requests from PR #17604
Requests are listed in:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/17604#pullrequestreview-819380
* Changes requested for Ansible PR #16704.
As noted by @abadger:
- Use Py3-compatible import syntax for ConfigParser.
- Use comprehensions instead of filter function.
- Fix buggy comparison of False to 'False'.
- Change b_dict to block_dict.
- Fix invalid syntax for except block that handles multiple exception types.
* Additional changes requested for Ansible PR #16704.
As noted by @abadger:
- Missed a couple of places where we still had invalid exception-handling syntax.
* Remove shebang from dimensiondata.py (Ansible PR #16704).
* Switch to MCP_USER / MCP_PASSWORD.
This is consistent with other Dimension Data Tooling.
* Implement get_configured_credentials.
* Fix typo (missing comma).
* Unify get_credentials implementation (ansible/ansible#17604).
get_credentials will now look in environment, dotfile, and module configuration for credentials (in that order).
* Resolve user Id and password from module configuration before trying environment or dotfile (ansible/ansible#17604).
* new module to check FW readines
* added missing parameter
* changes based on the review comments; remove unecessary if statements; change returned value docstring
* Make ModuleArgsParser more understandable
Both comments and method names for handling new/old
style parameters are switched around
Made comments and method names reflect actual code paths
taken.
* Further improve mod_args.py comments
Ensure output formats are correctly documented,
remove some of the 'opinion' about which formats are
valid, and try and clarify the situations under which
certain code paths are hit.
Stop talking about the YAML command-type form as 'extra
gross' when it's the documented example form for command
etc.!
* Fixes#3539 "win_robocopy does not return changed properly"
Remove .win_robocopy from $result so that ansible can see the values properly. This also matches up with the existing documentation.
* Update documentation to match new return values
* add support for AIX mount facts
* add nfs mount support for AIX mount facts
* make nfs parsing a bit more resilient and correctly parse options if provided
* self.module.xxx call instead of wrong module.xxx
Because we add the names of all filters to the callable whitelist used
by safe_eval, adding a filter named type makes it so code calling "type()"
gets eval'd. We can't think of a way to exploit this but it's
sufficiently sketchy that we're renaming it in case someone smarter than
us can think of a problem.
When you become: with synchronize and docker it sets the rsync-path to
"sudo rsync" to launch rsync on the server as root. Unfortunately due to
docker exec doing stricter argument parsing than ssh this fails to
launch rsync on the server and the sync fails.
For docker though we don't need to launch rsync with sudo we can simply
docker exec -u <user> and rsync as normal to get around the problem.
Closes#20117
- Replace nose usage with pytest.
- Remove legacy Shippable integration.sh.
- Update Makefile to use pytest and ansible-test.
- Convert most yield unit tests to pytest parametrize.
* Small tweaks for timezone module:

- ensure the generated docs list either hwclock or name as required
by using a non-generated value for required_one_of
* Update docs with the DOCUMENTATION block about either name/hwclock being required
This refactors the iosxr shared module to make use of the network_cli
connection plugin and removes the dependency on the shared shell
module. This change will break current modules until the modules
are updated.
* Previous fix to this failed to account for open_url returning a filehandle
Fixes the bugs introduced by c6fb355
* read() from HTTPError for python-3.6+
HTTPError is funny. It contains a filehandle to read the response from
and also makes it available via a read() method. On earlier versions of
python (2 and 3) the read() method was enough to make it work with
json.load(). The newer version of json.load() needs a more complete
file interface than this and has stopped working. Read the bytes,
transform to str and pass it in manually to fix it.

The main purpose of this PR is to add the subnet associations to the
dict returned by ec2_vpc_route_table_facts. This commit also
re-formats code to make it PEP8 compliant.
- If an absolute path is provided, ensure it starts with /vm
- Also ensure there are no trailing slashes
This gets rid of a few locations where the same was being done.
It also fixes the cases of multiple trailing slashes, or ending up with
/vm/ instead of /vm.
The `except` block with exception matching throught
`if 'connection refused' in str(e).lower():` is funny,
but is not user-friendly.

On Ubuntu the scriptdir gets placed into sys.path. This makes some
modules (copy) fail because the ansible module gets loaded instead of
the stdlib copy module. So we remove scriptdir there. Unfortunately,
the scriptdir code uses abspath(). When pipelining, abspath() has to
find the cwd. On OSX, finding the cwd when that directory is not
executable by the user raises an OSError. Since OSX does not suffer
from the scriptdir problem we're able to just skip scriptdir handling if
we get that exception.
Fixes#19729
In modern ansible, parameters default to string type. This causes
issues for polymorphic parameters like this module's value param. note
that this fix restores ansible-2.0 and previous behaviour but it is not
perfect. If a parameter is specified via key=value or given on the
commandline then it will be a string before it reaches the module code.
There's nothing we can do about that.
