Changed confusing wording. People new to ansible, like myself, have a hard time grocking what is a playbook and what is a task. I changed the name of the playbook to make it clearer.
* Due to the takeover of freenode we're moving to a different irc network.
* Our channels updated to point at the same channel name on libera.chat
* Some links went to webchat.freenode.net. At this time, libera.chat
doesn't point you to an official webchat client so I changed these to
https://libera.chat. (kiwi irc does work with libera.chat so that
could be another option).
* In general, I used the name irc.libera.net for link names and
https://libera.chat for link targets. This is because the irc service
is hosted on irc.libera.chat but the project web server is hosted on
libera.chat. (This appears to also be true for freenode but we were
using http://irc.freenode.net which doesn't seem to work. Oops).
* Removed http://irc.freenode.net from the linkcheck exceptions.
linkcheck was actually correct to flag that as invalid (should have
been http://frenode.net instead).
* Looks like hte important people in #yaml are now in libera.chat
* Link to where contributors should get help
Add a link target and then link to where contributors should get support
for developing groups of modules.
* Update docs/docsite/rst/dev_guide/developing_modules_in_groups.rst

Often when I am helping others learn Ansible, they are using nodes spun up on Amazon/Google/etc. where private key files (pem) are needed. Mentioning just a bit more on how to handle those private key files on the intro_getting_started page will help more folks get started faster.
I even reviewed the changes with my learning team and they all agreed this helped clarify immediately for them how to really get started with Ansible from a practical perspective.
* [WIP] become plugins
Move from hardcoded method to plugins for ease of use, expansion and overrides
- load into connection as it is going to be the main consumer
- play_context will also use to keep backwards compat API
- ensure shell is used to construct commands when needed
- migrate settings remove from base config in favor of plugin specific configs
- cleanup ansible-doc
- add become plugin docs
- remove deprecated sudo/su code and keywords
- adjust become options for cli
- set plugin options from context
- ensure config defs are avaialbe before instance
- refactored getting the shell plugin, fixed tests
- changed into regex as they were string matching, which does not work with random string generation
- explicitly set flags for play context tests
- moved plugin loading up front
- now loads for basedir also
- allow pyc/o for non m modules
- fixes to tests and some plugins
- migrate to play objects fro play_context
- simiplify gathering
- added utf8 headers
- moved option setting
- add fail msg to dzdo
- use tuple for multiple options on fail/missing
- fix relative plugin paths
- shift from play context to play
- all tasks already inherit this from play directly
- remove obsolete 'set play'
- correct environment handling
- add wrap_exe option to pfexec
- fix runas to noop
- fixed setting play context
- added password configs
- removed required false
- remove from doc building till they are ready
future development:
- deal with 'enable' and 'runas' which are not 'command wrappers' but 'state flags' and currently hardcoded in diff subsystems
* cleanup
remove callers to removed func
removed --sudo cli doc refs
remove runas become_exe
ensure keyerorr on plugin
also fix backwards compat, missing method is attributeerror, not ansible error
get remote_user consistently
ignore missing system_tmpdirs on plugin load
correct config precedence
add deprecation
fix networking imports
backwards compat for plugins using BECOME_METHODS
* Port become_plugins to context.CLIARGS
This is a work in progress:
* Stop passing options around everywhere as we can use context.CLIARGS
instead
* Refactor make_become_commands as asked for by alikins
* Typo in comment fix
* Stop loading values from the cli in more than one place
Both play and play_context were saving default values from the cli
arguments directly. This changes things so that the default values are
loaded into the play and then play_context takes them from there.
* Rename BECOME_PLUGIN_PATH to DEFAULT_BECOME_PLUGIN_PATH
As alikins said, all other plugin paths are named
DEFAULT_plugintype_PLUGIN_PATH. If we're going to rename these, that
should be done all at one time rather than piecemeal.
* One to throw away
This is a set of hacks to get setting FieldAttribute defaults to command
line args to work. It's not fully done yet.
After talking it over with sivel and jimi-c this should be done by
fixing FieldAttributeBase and _get_parent_attribute() calls to do the
right thing when there is a non-None default.
What we want to be able to do ideally is something like this:
class Base(FieldAttributeBase):
_check_mode = FieldAttribute([..] default=lambda: context.CLIARGS['check'])
class Play(Base):
# lambda so that we have a chance to parse the command line args
# before we get here. In the future we might be able to restructure
# this so that the cli parsing code runs before these classes are
# defined.
class Task(Base):
pass
And still have a playbook like this function:
---
- hosts:
tasks:
- command: whoami
check_mode: True
(The check_mode test that is added as a separate commit in this PR will
let you test variations on this case).
There's a few separate reasons that the code doesn't let us do this or
a non-ugly workaround for this as written right now. The fix that
jimi-c, sivel, and I talked about may let us do this or it may still
require a workaround (but less ugly) (having one class that has the
FieldAttributes with default values and one class that inherits from
that but just overrides the FieldAttributes which now have defaults)
* Revert "One to throw away"
This reverts commit 23aa883cbed11429ef1be2a2d0ed18f83a3b8064.
* Set FieldAttr defaults directly from CLIARGS
* Remove dead code
