Currently unarchive from remote url does not work because the core
unarchive module was updated to support 'remote_src' [1], but the
unarchive action plugin was not updated for this. This causes failures
because the action plugin assumes it needs to copy a file to the
remote server, but in the case of downloading a file from a remote
url a local file does not exist, so an error occurs when the file is
not found.

Copying the TaskInclude task (which is the parent) before loading the blocks
makes the code much more simple and clean, and fixes a bug introduced during
the performance improvement changes (and specifically the change which moved
things to a single-parent model).
Fixes#17064
Since we introduced static includes in 2.1, this broke the functionality
where a notify could be sent to a named include statement, triggering all
handlers contained within the include. This patch fixes that by adding a
search through the parents of a handler for any TaskIncludes which match.
Fixes#15915
We want to NOT consider the async task as failed if the result is
not parsed, which was the intent of:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/16458
However, the logic doesn't actually do that because we default
the 'parsed' value to True. It should default to False so that
we continue waiting, as intended.
Instead of immediately returning a failed code (indicating a break in
the play execution), we internally 'or' that failure code with the result
(now an integer flag instead of a boolean) so that we can properly handle
the rescue/always portions of blocks and still remember that the break
condition was hit.
Fixes#16937
* Introduce new 'filetree' lookup plugin
The new "filetree" lookup plugin makes it possible to recurse over a tree of files within the task loop. This makes it possible to e.g. template a complete tree of files to a target system with little effort while retaining permissions and ownership.
The module supports directories, files and symlinks.
The item dictionary consists of:
- src
- root
- path
- mode
- state
- owner
- group
- seuser
- serole
- setype
- selevel
- uid
- gid
- size
- mtime
- ctime
EXAMPLES:
Here is an example of how we use with_filetree within a role:
```yaml
- name: Create directories
file:
path: /web/{{ item.path }}
state: directory
mode: '{{ item.mode }}'
owner: '{{ item.owner }}'
group: '{{ item.group }}'
force: yes
with_filetree: web/
when: item.state == 'directory'
- name: Template complete tree
file:
src: '{{ item.src }}'
dest: /web/{{ item.path }}
state: 'link'
mode: '{{ item.mode }}'
owner: '{{ item.owner }}'
group: '{{ item.group }}'
with_filetree: web/
when: item.state == 'link'
- name: Template complete tree
template:
src: '{{ item.src }}'
dest: /web/{{ item.path }}
mode: '{{ item.mode }}'
owner: '{{ item.owner }}'
group: '{{ item.group }}'
force: yes
with_filetree: web/
when: item.state == 'file'
```
SPECIAL USE:
The following properties also have its special use:
- root: Makes it possible to filter by original location
- path: Is the relative path to root
- uid, gid: Makes it possible to force-create by exact id, rather than by name
- size, mtime, ctime: Makes it possible to filter out files by size, mtime or ctime
TODO:
- Add snippets to documentation
* Small fixes for Python 3
* Return the portion of the file’s mode that can be set by os.chmod()
And remove the exists=True, which is redundant.
* Use lstat() instead of stat() since we support symlinks
* Avoid a few possible stat() calls
* Bring in line with v1.9 and hybrid plugin
* Remove glob module since we no longer use it
* Included suggestions from @RussellLuo
- Two blank lines will be better. See PEP 8
- I think if props is not None is more conventional 😄
* Support failed pwd/grp lookups
* Implement first-found functionality in the path-order
* when including statically, make sure that all parents were also included
statically (issue #16990)
* properly resolve nested static include paths
* print a message when a file is statically included
Fixes#16990
When unittesting this we found that the platform selecting class
hierarchies weren't working in all cases. If the subclass was directly
created (ie: LinuxHardware()), then it would use its inherited __new__()
to try to create itself. The inherited __new__ would look for
subclasses and end up calling its own __new__() again. This would
recurse endlessly. The new code detects when we want to find a subclass
to create (when the base class is used, ie: Hardware()) vs when to
create the class itself (when the subclass is used, ie:
LinuxHardware()).
* Try to avoid module-related tickets in the core Ansible project
Since most users still report module-related problems in the Ansible core GitHub project, I added a warning at the top of the template.
Maybe it could help if the various projects would have more specific names ?
- ansible/ansible -> ansible/main (or something even better ?)
- ansible/ansible-modules-core -> ansible/modules-core
- ansible/ansible-modules-extras -> ansible/modules-extras
I am sure someone can come up with perfect names ;-)
* Remove 'module' from the component options
I would prefer to again note that modules should go elsewhere, but don't want to bloat the text too much.
