The ordering of disabling/enabling yum repositories matters, and
the yum module was mixing and matching the order. Specifically,
when yum-utils isn't installed, the codepath which uses the yum
python module was incorrectly ordering enabling and disabling.
The preferred order is to disable repositories and then enable them
to prevent clobbering. This was previously discussed in
ansible/ansible#5255 and incompletely addressed in 0cca4a3.
body_format is a new optional argument that enables handling of JSON or
YAML serialization format for the body argument.
When set to either 'json' or 'yaml', the body argument can be a dict or list.
The body will be encoded, and the Content-Type HTTP header will be set,
accordingly to the body_format argument.
Example:
- name: Facette - Create memory graph
uri:
method: POST
url: http://facette/api/v1/library/graphs
status_code: 201
body_format: json
body:
name: "{{ ansible_fqdn }} - Memory usage"
attributes:
Source": "{{ ansible_fqdn }}"

Docs imply the mysql_variables is used to operate a single variable therefore
- fail before making any db connections if variable is not set
- validate chars for mysql variable name with re.match(^[a-z0-9_]+)
- use "SHOW VARIABLE WHERE Variable_name" instead of LIKE search
- getvariable() returns only the value or None if variable is not found
- the module returns only the found variable value instead of tuple for easier operation eg. as registere variable in tasks
Upstart scripts are being incorrectly identified as SysV init scripts
due to a logic error in the `service` module.
Because upstart uses multiple commands (`/sbin/start`, `/sbin/stop`,
etc.) for managing service state, the codepath for upstart sets
`self.svc_cmd` to an empty string on line 451.
Empty strings are considered a non-truthy value in Python, so
conditionals which are checking the state of `self.svc_cmd` should
explicitly compare it to `None` to avoid overlooking the fact that
the service may be controlled by an upstart script.
I have a task like this in a playbook. The ansible_ssh_user is 'root'
for this host.
- cron:
hour: 00
job: /home/backup/backup.sh
name: baserock.org data backup
user: backup
Running it gave me the following error:
TASK: [backup cron job, runs every day at midnight] ***************************
failed: [baserock-backup1] => {"failed": true}
msg: crontab: can't open '/tmp/crontabvVjoZe': Permission denied
crontab: user backup cannot read /tmp/crontabvVjoZe
The temporary file created by the 'cron' module is created with the
Python tempfile.mkstemp() function. This creates a file that is readable
only by 'root' (mode 600). The Busybox `crontab` program then checks if
the file is readable by the 'backup' user, and fails if it isn't. So we
need to make sure the file is world-readable before running `crontab`.
I tried a playbook with the following (accidentally wrong) task:
tasks:
- name: authorized key test
authorized_key: key=/home/sam/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key_options='command="/foo/bar"' user=sam
I got the following traceback:
TASK: [authorized key test] ***************************************************
failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true, "parsed": false}
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/sam/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1427110003.65-277897441194582/authorized_key", line 2515, in <module>

File "/home/sam/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1427110003.65-277897441194582/authorized_key", line 460, in main
results = enforce_state(module, module.params)
File "/home/sam/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1427110003.65-277897441194582/authorized_key", line 385, in enforce_state
parsed_new_key = (parsed_new_key[0], parsed_new_key[1], parsed_options, parsed_new_key[3])
TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
With this fix, I see the expected error instead:
TASK: [authorized key test] ***************************************************
failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true}
msg: invalid key specified: /home/sam/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
