uri:
follow_redirects: no
Will lead yaml to set follow_redirects=False. This is problematic when
the module parameter is not a boolean value but a string. For instance:
follow_redirects = dict(required=False, default='safe', choices=['all', 'safe', 'none', 'yes', 'no']),
Our parameter validation code ends up getting follow_redirects="False"
instead of "no". The 100% fix is for the user to quote their strings in
playbooks like:
uri:
follow_redirects: "no"
But we can fix quite a few common cases by trying to switch "False" back
into the string that it was specified as. We only do this if there is
only one correct choices value that could have been specified. In the
follow_redirects example, a value of "True" only maps back to "yes" and
a value of "False" only maps back to "no" so we can do this. If choices
also contained "on" and "off" then we couldn't map back safely and would
need to force the module author to change the module to handle this
case.
Fixes parts of the following PRs:
* https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/pull/4220
* https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/2593
The lack of a comma caused the statement to always evaluate as a
`TypeError` when python interpreted `value (list, tuple, dict)` to call
value with the arguments list, tuple, and dict.
When the PYTHONPATH is an empty string python will treat it as though
the cwd is in the PYTHONPATH. This can be undesirable. So make sure we
delete PYTHONPATH from the environment altgether in this case.
Fixes#16195
* Give a module the possibility to known its own name
This is useful for logging and reporting and fixes the longstanding problem with syslog-messages:
May 30 15:50:11 moria ansible-<stdin>: Invoked with ...
now becomes:
Jun 1 17:32:03 moria ansible-copy: Invoked with ...
This fixes#15830
* Rename the internal name from module.ansible_module_name to module._name
* Port urls.py to python3
Fixes (largely normalizing byte vs text strings) for python3
* Rework what we do with attributes that aren't set already.
* Comments
This makes it possible to use anything other than a list (e.g., a
tuple, or dict.keys() in py3k) for argument_spec choices. It also
improves the error messages if you don't use a list type.
This change makes it so we know when it is safe to get rid of the module
(when we stop supporting python2.4) and makes it easier for us to find
code that is using the functions in there to update.
If needed, we'll create a pycompat26 and pycompat27 as well. These
files are for functions that are needed on that python version to write
portable code. So python-2.4 compatible modules may need code in
pycompat24, python26+ modules may need code in pycompat26, etc. If
a function is needed in multiple python versions, we should implement it
in an internal common file and use import to put it in the namespace for
each pycompatXY module.
* Make ziploader's ansible and ansible.module_utils libraries into
namespace packages.
* Move __version__ and __author__ from ansible/__init__ to
ansible/release.py. This is because namespace packages only load one
__init__.py. If that is not the __init__.py with the author and
version info then those won't be available.
* In ziplaoder, move the version ito ANSIBLE_CONSTANTS.
* Change PluginLoader to properly construct the path to the plugins even
when namespace packages are present.
Updated python module wrapper explode method to drop 'args' file next to module.
Both execute() and excommunicate() debug methods now pass the module args via file to enable debuggers that are picky about stdin.
Updated unit tests to use a context manager for masking/restoring default streams and argv.
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
The find_mount_point function does not resolve the mount point of paths with a soft-link correctly and returns the wrong mount-point.
I have mounted an NFS filesystem on /nfs-mount. This directory contains a directory called "directory". I also created a soft-link to this last directory: /soft-link-to-directory -> /nfs-mount/directory. I created the following task to copy a file into /soft-link-to-directory:
- name: copy file to nfs-mount
copy:
src: "file"
dest: "/soft-link-to-directory/file"
This throws an exception:
invalid selinux context: [Errno 95] Operation not supported
This is caused by the find_mount_point function to return '/' as the mount point for '/soft-link-to-directory/file'. This should have been /nfs-mount. Because the find_mount_point returns the wrong mount-point, the is_special_selinux_path function does not recognise the file is on an NFS mount and tries to set the default SELinux context (system_u:object_r:default_t:s0), which fails. The context should have been: system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0
