prior to this commit, an attempt to use the `include:` directive would
fail in a `rescue:` or `always:` block if there were failures in the
main block task list.
Resolves#12876.
ansible-playbook now works when run with a playbook
that includes a role that includes another role
specified using csv format
Updated one of the roles used in the tests to fix
broken tests - `make test_galaxy` now works
Fixes#11486. Also addresses the problem alluded to in #10620.
For some situations like Vagrant, the remote_addr may be a localhost addr, but ssh
is still desired. This corrects the assumption that any localhost remote_addr should
be using the local connection by checking the inventory_hostname value as well.
Fixes#12817
better error reporting on fetching errors
use scm if it exists over src
unified functions in requirements
simplified logic
added verbose to tests
cleanup code refs, unused options and dead code
moved get_opt to base class

Using set_host_overrides() in the connection plugin to access the ssh
argument variables from the inventory didn't see group_vars/host_vars
settings, as noted earlier. Instead, we can set the correct values in
the PlayContext, which has access to all command-line options, task
settings, and variables.
The only downside of doing so is that the source of the settings is no
longer available in ssh.py, and therefore can't be logged. But the code
is simpler, and it actually works.
This change was suggested by @jimi-c in response to the FIXME in the
earlier commit.
Now we have the following ways to set additional arguments:
1. [ssh_connection]ssh_args in ansible.cfg: global setting, prepended to
every command line for ssh/scp/sftp. Overrides default ControlPersist
settings.
2. ansible_ssh_common_args inventory variable. Appended to every command
line for ssh/scp/sftp. Used in addition to ssh_args, if set above, or
the default settings.
3. ansible_{sftp,scp,ssh}_extra_args inventory variables. Appended to
every command line for the relevant binary only. Used in addition to
#1 and #2, if set above, or the default settings.
3. Using the --ssh-common-args or --{sftp,scp,ssh}-extra-args command
line options (which are overriden by #2 and #3 above).
This preserves backwards compatibility (for ssh_args in ansible.cfg),
but also permits global settings (e.g. ProxyCommand via _common_args) or
ssh-specific options (e.g. -R via ssh_extra_args).
Fixes#12576
Fixes another failing test.
(I don't want to do a global search/replace for 'basestring' because I
want to have unit tests covering each occurrence. When I run out of
existing failing tests, I'll try to write new ones.)
SSH pipelining can be a significant performance improvement, but it will
not work if sudoers is configured to requiretty. With this change, one
could have pipelining enabled in ansible.cfg, but use sudo to turn off
requiretty in a separate play (or task) where pipelining is disabled:
- hosts: foo
vars:
ansible_pipelining: no
tasks:
- lineinfile: dest=/etc/sudoers line='Defaults requiretty' state=absent
sudo_user: root
(Note that sudoers has a complicated syntax, so the above lineinfile
invocation may be too simplistic for production use; but the point is
that a separate play can do something to disable requiretty.)
