Required some rewiring in inventory code to make sure we're using
the DataLoader class for some data file operations, which makes mocking
them much easier.
Also identified two corner cases not currently handled by the code, related
to inventory variable sources and which one "wins". Also noticed we weren't
properly merging variables from multiple group/host_var file locations
(inventory directory vs. playbook directory locations) so fixed as well.
This was commented out earlier because of the lack of interprocess
locking and prepare_writeable_dir in v2.
The locking was not needed: it could only protect against other siblings
of this process (since they were all locking a temporary file that was
opened in the parent), and those would be running as the same user and
with the same umask. Also, os.makedirs() tolerates intermediate paths
being created by other processes. For any other kind of error, both
locking and non-locking code paths would fail in the same way.
So all we really need to do is make sure we have write permissions.
(We also move the cp_dir handling code to where we actually set the
ControlPath ourselves; if the user has set it via ssh_*args already,
we don't need to bother.)

Don't disable GSSAPI/Pubkey authentication when using --ask-pass
This commit is based on a bug report and PR by kolbyjack (#6846) which
was subsequently closed and rebased as #11690. The original problem was:
«The password on the delegated host is different from the one I
provided on the command line, so it had to use the pubkey, and the
main host doesn't have a pubkey on it yet, so it had to use the
password.»
(This commit is revised and included here because #11690 would conflict
with the changes in #11908 otherwise.)
Closes#11690

Be more explicit about why SSH arguments are added
This adds vvvvv log messages that spell out in detail where each SSH
command-line argument is obtained from.
Unfortunately, we can't be sure if, say, self._play_context.remote_user
is obtained from ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER in the environment, remote_user in
ansible.cfg, -u on the command line, or an ansible_ssh_user setting in
the inventory or on a task or play. In some cases, e.g. timeout, we
can't even be sure if it was set by the user or just a default.
Nevertheless, on the theory that at five v's you can use all the hints
available, I've mentioned the possible sources in the log messages.
Note that this caveat applies only to the arguments that ssh.py adds by
itself. In the case of ssh_args and ssh_extra_args, we know where they
are from, and say so, though we can't say WHERE in the inventory they
may be set (e.g. in host_vars or group_vars etc.).

Add a FAQ entry about ansible_ssh_extra_args

Allow ansible_ssh_args to be set as an inventory variable
Before this change, ssh_args could be set only in the [ssh_connection]
section of ansible.cfg, and was applied to all hosts. Now it's possible
to set ansible_ssh_args as an inventory variable (directly, or through
group_vars or host_vars) to selectively override the global setting.
Note that the default ControlPath settings are applied only if ssh_args
is not set, and this is true of ansible_ssh_args as well. So if you want
to override ssh_args but continue to set ControlPath, you'll need to
repeat the appropriate options when setting ansible_ssh_args.
(If you only need to add options to the default ssh_args, you may be
able to use the ansible_ssh_extra_args inventory variable instead.)

Allow overriding ansible_ssh_extra_args on the command-line
This patch makes it possible to do:
ansible somehost -m setup \
--ssh-extra-args '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q user@bouncer.example.com"'
This overrides the inventory setting, if any, of ansible_ssh_extra_args.
Based on a patch originally by @Richard2ndQuadrant.

Add an ansible_ssh_extra_args inventory variable
This can be used to configure a per-host or per-group ProxyCommand to
connect to hosts through a jumphost, e.g.:
inventory:
[gatewayed]
foo ansible_ssh_host=192.0.2.1
group_vars/gatewayed.yml:
ansible_ssh_extra_args: '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q bounceuser@gateway.example.com"'
Note that this variable is used in addition to any ssh_args configured
in the [ssh_connection] section of ansible.cfg (so you don't need to
repeat the ControlPath settings in ansible_ssh_extra_args).
* When iterating over a child state, a failure should be propagated
up so parent blocks don't continue iterating
* Make sure a child state exists before trying to search it

I don't think six.iteritems is available here, but I also don't expect
there to be enough platforms to ever make the speed difference between
.items() and .iteritems() noticeable.
Replace .iteritems() with six.iteritems() everywhere except in
module_utils (because there's no 'six' on the remote host). And except
in lib/ansible/galaxy/data/metadata_template.j2, because I'm not sure
six is available there.
The lock file is (a temporary file) opened in the parent process, whose
open fd is inherited by the workers after fork, and passed down through
the PlayContext. Connection grows lock/unlock methods which can be used
by individual connection plugins.
Right now, we don't do any locking, but we still scan known_hosts files
twice per connection. That's completely unnecessary, and the proposed
solutions to the locking problem wouldn't need known_hosts scanning
anyway, so this code can go away.
In v1, a trailing newline was kept if the parameter was passed as key=value. If
the parameter was passed as yaml dict the trailing newline was
discarded. Since key-value and yaml dict were unified in v2 we have to
make a choice as to which behaviour we want. Decided that keeping trailing
newlines by default made the most sense.

dbd755e0 previously assigned the value to self._templar.environment.searchpath,
which is incorrect - it needs to be assigned to the environment.loader.searchpath
value instead.

This information was earlier shown only with ANSIBLE_DEBUG, but it's
extremely useful in a user context, especially with module invocations
with deeply nested args like the ec2_vpc/ec2 modules.

The contributor's name on line 10 (originally line 7) includes a character
that the default Python encoding (ASCII) raises an error on when interpreting
the file.
Specifying the utf-8 encoding, as is done in other modules, resolves
the error.
The error being raised is
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file /.../lib/ansible/module_utils/f5.py
on line 7, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html

Rewrite function `get_fqdn`. It returns fqdn for all kinds of urls now.
`add_git_host_key` determines whether a url is ssh and whether its host
key should be added.
FieldAttributes will now by default not be post_validated unless a flag
is set on them in the class, as a large number of fields are really there
simply to be inherited by Task/PlayContext and shouldn't be templated too
early.
The other (unrelated to the base issue) in #12084 is also fixed here, where
the roles field is loaded before vars/vars_files, meaning there are no vars
yet loaded in the play when the templating occurs.
Fixes#12084
You cannot call bytes(obj) to get a simple representation of obj on
Python 3! E.g. bytes(42) returns a byte string with 42 NUL characters
instead of b'42'.
Python has had automatic int-to-long promotion for a long long time now.
Even Python 2.4 does that automatically.
Python 3 drops support for the L suffix altogether.
This is based on some code from (closed) PR #7872, but reworked based on
suggestions by @abadger and the other core team members.

Now we issue a "Reading … from stdin" prompt if our input isatty(), as
gpg does. We also suppress the "x successful" confirmation message at
the end if we're part of a pipeline.
(The latter requires that we not close sys.stdout in VaultEditor, and
for symmetry we do the same for sys.stdin, though it doesn't matter in
that case.)
This allows the following invocations:
# Interactive use, like gpg
ansible-vault encrypt --output x
# Non-interactive, for scripting
echo plaintext|ansible-vault encrypt --output x
# Separate input and output files
ansible-vault encrypt input.yml --output output.yml
# Existing usage (in-place encryption) unchanged
ansible-vault encrypt inout.yml
…and the analogous cases for ansible-vault decrypt as well.
In all cases, the input and output files can be '-' to read from stdin
or write to stdout. This permits sensitive data to be encrypted and
decrypted without ever hitting disk.
Now that VaultLib always decides to use AES256 to encrypt, we don't need
this broken code any more. We need to be able to decrypt this format for
a while longer, but encryption support can be safely dropped.
Now we don't have to recreate VaultEditor objects for each file, and so
on. It also paves the way towards specifying separate input and output
files later.
It's unused and unnecessary; VaultLib can decide for itself what cipher
to use when encrypting. There's no need (and no provision) for the user
to override the cipher via options, so there's no need for code to see
if that has been done either.
This commit deprecates the earlier groupname[x-y] syntax in favour of
the inclusive groupname[x:y] syntax. It also makes the subscripting
code simpler and adds explanatory comments.
One problem addressed by the cleanup is that _enumeration_info used to
be called twice, and its results discarded the first time because of the
convoluted control flow.
The possibilities are complicated enough that I didn't want to make
changes without having a complete description of what it actually
accepts/matches. Note that this text documents current behaviour, not
necessarily the behaviour we want. Some of this is undocumented and may
not be intended.
The --new-vault-password-file option works the same as
--vault-password-file but applies only to rekeying (when
--vault-password-file sets the old password). Also update the manpage
to document these options more fully.
