Role definitions typically require params to be different from those
which are specified as FieldAttributes on the playbook classes used
for roles, however a certain subset should be allowed (typically those
used for connection stuff).
Fixes#14095
The dep chain for roles created during the compile step had bugs, in
which the dep chain was overwriten and the original tasks in the role
were not assigned a dep chain. This lead to problems in determining
whether roles had already run when in a "diamond" structure, and in
some cases roles were not correctly getting variables from parents.
Fixes#14046
by moving to en-bloc unicode conversion to act on scripts stdout
Both python-json and simplejson always return unicode strings when using
their loads() method on unicode strings. This is true at least since
2009. This makes checking each substring unnecessary, because we do not
need to recursively check the strings contained in the inventory dict
later one-by-one
This commit makes parsing of large dynamic inventory at least 2 seconds
faster.

This prevents a bug where the existing cache outside of the class
is not cleared when creating a new Inventory object. This only really
affects people using the API directly right now, but wanted to fix it
to prevent weird errors from popping up.
Instead of bombing out of the strategy, we now properly mark hosts failed
so that the play iterator can handle block rescue/always properly.
Fixes#14024
When using a playbook-level include, we now catch any errors raised during
the conditional evaluation step and set a flag to indicate we need to pass
those conditionals on to the included play (most likely because they contain
inventory variables for evaluation).
Fixes#14003
This causes problems when fetching parent attributes, as the include
was being skipped because the parent block would fetch the attribute
from the parent play first.
Fixes#13872
this was taken out in an effort to default to the user's shell but creates issues as this is not known ahead of time
and its painful to set executable and shell_type for all servers, it should only be needed for those that restrict the user
to specific shells and when /bin/sh is not available. raw and command may still bypass this by explicitly passing None.
fixes#13882
still conditional
The provider argument accepts the set of device common arguments as a
dict object. Individual connection arguments can still be included and
take priority over the provider argument. This update includes additions
to the nxos doc fragment
New argument `provider` added to the ios shared module that provides
the ability to pass all of the common ios arguments as a dict. This commit
includes some minor bugfixes and refactoring of names. It also includes
udpates to the ios documentation fragment for the new argument
Adds a new argument `provider` to the eos shared module and updates the
eos doc fragment. This commit includes some additional minor fixes and
code refactors for naming conventions. The `provider` argument allows the
shared module arguments to be passed as a dict object instead of having
to pass each argument invididually.
This commit adds a new argument `provider` to the iosxr shared module that
allows common connection parameters to be passed as a dict object. The
constraints on the args still applies. This commit also updates the iosxr
doc fragment.
Adds new argument `provider` to the openswitch shared module. The provider
argument can pass all openswitch connection arguments as a dict object. This
update includes adding the provider argument to the openswitch doc fragment
This commit adds a new argument `provider` to the junos shared module. The
argument allows the set of common connection args to be passed to the
junos shared module. This commit also updates the junos doc fragment
This commit provides an argument to provide a path to the private key
file. This will allow paramiko to use the key file as opposed to only
username / password combinations for CLI connections.
Letting it pass would just cause an error later on (no such file found)
so it's better to catch it here and know that we have users dealing with
non-utf8 pathnames than to have to track it down from later on.
Note that the fix for display normalizing to unicode is correct but the
fix for pathnames is probably not. Changing pathnames to unicode type
means that we will handle utf8 pathnames fine but pathnames can be any
sequence of bytes that do not contain null. We do not handle sequences
of bytes that are not valid utf8 here. To do that we need to revamp the
handling of basedir and paths to transform to bytes instead of unicode.
Didn't want to do that in 2.0.x as it will potentially introduce other
bugs as we find all the places that we combine basedir with other path
elements. Since no one has raised that as an issue thus far so it's not
something we need to handle yet. But it's something to keep in mind for
the future.
To test utf8 handling, create a utf8 directory and run a playbook from
within there.
To test non-utf8 handling (currently doesn't work as stated above), create
a directory with non-utf8 chars an run a playbook from there. In bash,
create that directory like this: mkdir $'\377'
Fixes#13937
* Don't re-use the existing connection if the remote_addr field of
the play context has changed
* When overriding variables in PlayContext (from task/variables),
don't set the same attribute based on a different variable name
if we had already previously set it from another variable name
Fixes#13880
* Relocate the assignment of the host address to the remote_addr field
in the play context, which was only done when the connection was created
(it's now done after the post_validate() is called on the play context)
* Make the assignment of the play context to the connection an else, since
it's not required if the connection is not reused
This is because we pass arguments to non-newstyle modules via an
external file. If we pipeline, then the interpreter thinks it has to
run the arguments as the script instead of what is piped in via stdin.
keeps backwards compat by not removing the previouslly non grammer matching states
and introduces new ones so user can decide which one he wants
(or keep both and still be inconsistent to annoy those that care)
If this isnt updated, the _connection is reused, and thus has an outdated _play_context
This results in outdated `success_key` and `prompt` causing issues if sudo is run in a loop
Refer to the issue #13763 for more debugging and details
The nxapi module has been superseded by the nxos shared module and is not longer needed. This commit removes (deletes) nxapi from module_utils. All custom modules that have used nxapi should be using nxos instead.
This commit adds a new shared module that parses network device configuration
files. It is used to build modules that work with the various supported
network device operating systems
This commit adds a new shared module for working with network devices running
the Juniper Junos operating system. The commit includes a new document
fragment junos to be used when building modules. The junos shared module
currently only supports CLI
This commit adds a new shared module openswitch for building modules that
work with OpenSwitch. This shared module supports connectivity to
OpenSwitch devices over SSH, CLI or REST. It also adds an openswitch
documentation fragment for use in modules
This commit refactors the nxapi into a new shared module nxos that supports
connectivity over both ssh (cli) and nxapi. It supercedes the nxapi shared
module and removes it from module_utils. This commit also adds a
documentation fragement supporting the nxos shared module
This commit adds a new shared module for working with Cisco IOS XR devices over
CLI (SSH). It also provides a documentation fragement for the commmon arguments
provided by the iosxr module.
This update refactor the ios shared module to use the new shell shared
library instead of issh and cli. It also adds the ios documentation
fragment to be used when building ios based modules.
This adds a shared module for communicating with Arista EOS devices over
SSH (cli) or JSON-RPC (eapi). This modules replaces the eapi.py module
previously added to module_utils. This commit includes a documentation
fragment that describes the eos common arguments
pushed it to use the existing propmpt from display and moved the vars prompt code there also for uniformity
changed vars_prompt to check extra vars vs the empty play.vars to restore 1.9 behaviour
sipmlified the code as it didn't need to check for syntax again (tqm is made none prior based on that)
fixes#13770
Still is a warning as we don't want to repeat it multiple times nor additional callbacks to stop ansible execution.
hopefully we can avoid shipping w/o exceptions in the default/minimal callbacks...
Also added feature that now allows for 'preformated' strings passed to warning
This commit add a new shared module shell that is used to build connections
to network devices that operate in a CLI environment. This commit supercedes
the issh.py and cli.py commits and removes them from module_utils.
and without hosts and vars
Without this patch, the simplified syntax is triggered when a group
is defined like this:
"platforms": {
"children": [
"cloudstack"
]
}
Which results in a group 'platforms' with 1 host 'platforms'.
