From 05d45fc1faca978abc3b981ffdd0f2e1be23b111 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michel Blanc Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:52:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Changed when new sysctl file is created When destination sysctl file is missing, it is created. But, for idempotency purposes, the creation process now takes place just before it is used, in the main code path so an empty file is not left over if the code module.fail_jsons before the file is really used. --- sysctl | 19 ++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/sysctl b/sysctl index 48c28be8ffb..dd5b56d6d7e 100644 --- a/sysctl +++ b/sysctl @@ -155,17 +155,6 @@ def sysctl_check(current_step, **sysctl_args): if not os.access(sysctl_args['key_path'], os.R_OK): return 1, 'key_path is not a readable file, key seems to be uncheckable' - # sysctl file exists and openable ? - # TODO choose if prefered to use os.access() instead try/catch on open - if current_step == 'before': - if not os.access(sysctl_args['sysctl_file'], os.W_OK): - try: - f = open(sysctl_args['sysctl_file'],'w') - f.write('') - f.close() - except IOError, e: - return 1, 'unable to create supplied sysctl file (directory missing)' - # no smart checks at this step ? if sysctl_args['checks'] == 'none': return 0, '' @@ -246,6 +235,14 @@ def main(): if res != 0: module.fail_json(msg='checks_before failed with: ' + msg) + if not os.access(sysctl_args['sysctl_file'], os.W_OK): + try: + f = open(sysctl_args['sysctl_file'],'w') + f.write('') + f.close() + except IOError, e: + module.fail_json(msg='unable to create supplied sysctl file (destination directory probably missing)') + # reading the file for line in open(sysctl_args['sysctl_file'], 'r').readlines(): if not line.strip():
