also normalized on how we normally import and use exceptoins
* Unify login behavior between 1Password lookup plugins and module

* Create AnsibleModuleError class
ansible.errors is not available to modules, so create an AnsibleModuleError class within the module
Do not user os.path.expanduser since this is already done by virtue of the type being "path" in the argument spec.
* Add note about risk with fact caching sensitive data
* Add note on op version that was used for testing
* Ensure that the src file contents is converted to unicode in diff info. Fixes#45717
* Fix up and cleanup
* The diff functionality in the callback plugins should have the
to_text() calls removed since we're now doing it in ActionBase
* catching of UnicodeError and warnings in the callback diff
functionality from 61d01f549f haven't been
needed since we switched to to_text so remove them.
* Add a note to ActionBase's diff function giving an example of when the
diff function will be inaccurate and how to fix it
* Fix callback get_diff() tests
I believe the unittests of callback's get_diff() were wrong. They were
sending in a list where strings were expected. Because previous code
was transforming the lists into strings via their repr, the previous
tests did not fail but they would have formatted the test cases output
in an odd way if we had looked at it.
* Try to intuit proper plugins to send to ansible-connection
* Move sub-plugins to init so that vars will be populated in executor
* Fix connection unit tests
On all supported Pythons, the io.BytesIO is always a stream
implementation using an in-memory bytes buffer. Makes code slightly more
forward compatible by reducing use of the six module.
* Add check in network_cli to handle all prompts
* Add check_all flag to mandatory handle all the command prompt
in prompts list. By default if any one prompt is handled
remaining prompts are ignored.
* Fix cli_command multiple prompt issue
* If multiple prompt and answers are given as input network_cli
handles only the first prompt that matched by default
* If a command execution results in muliple prompt the fix
add support to set a boolean option C(check_all) to indicate
network_cli to wait till all the prompts and answers are processed.

* Validate operation data and parameters
* Fix ansible-doc, boilerplate and import errors
* Fix pip8 sanity errors
* Update object comparison to work recursively
* Add copyright
* Share the implementation of hashing for both vars_prompt and password_hash.
* vars_prompt with encrypt does not require passlib for the algorithms
supported by crypt.
* Additional checks ensure that there is always a result.
This works around issues in the crypt.crypt python function that returns
None for algorithms it does not know.
Some modules (like user module) interprets None as no password at all,
which is misleading.
* The password_hash filter supports all parameters of passlib.
This allows users to provide a rounds parameter, fixing #15326.
* password_hash is not restricted to the subset provided by crypt.crypt,
fixing one half of #17266.
* Updated documentation fixes other half of #17266.
* password_hash does not hard-code the salt-length, which fixes bcrypt
in connection with passlib.
bcrypt requires a salt with length 22, which fixes#25347
* Salts are only generated by ansible when using crypt.crypt.
Otherwise passlib generates them.
* Avoids deprecated functionality of passlib with newer library versions.
* When no rounds are specified for sha256/sha256_crypt and sha512/sha512_crypt
always uses the default values used by crypt, i.e. 5000 rounds.
Before when installed passlibs' defaults were used.
passlib changes its defaults with newer library versions, leading to non
idempotent behavior.
NOTE: This will lead to the recalculation of existing hashes generated
with passlib and without a rounds parameter.
Yet henceforth the hashes will remain the same.
No matter the installed passlib version.
Making these hashes idempotent.
Fixes#15326Fixes#17266Fixes#25347 except bcrypt still uses 2a, instead of the suggested 2b.
* random_salt is solely handled by encrypt.py.
There is no _random_salt function there anymore.
Also the test moved to test_encrypt.py.
* Uses pytest.skip when passlib is not available, instead of a silent return.
* More checks are executed when passlib is not available.
* Moves tests that require passlib into their own test-function.
* Uses the six library to reraise the exception.
* Fixes integration test.
When no rounds are provided the defaults of crypt are used.
In that case the rounds are not part of the resulting MCF output.
NOTE:
1. use os.open() with os.O_CREAT|os.O_EXCL to check existence
and create a lock file if not exists, it's an atomic operation
2. the fastest process will create the lock file and others will
wait until the lock file is removed
3. after the writer finished writing to the password file, all the reading
operations use built-in open so processes can read the file parallel
According to the do_encrypt interface, encrypt arg should be the hash method name used for encrypting returning password. But in the doc and lookup code it's a boolean flag, correct it to string.
* win_reboot: fix 2.6 issues and better handle post reboot reboot
* changed winrm _reset to reset
* Add handler to reset calls when .reset() throws an AnsibleError on older hosts
* Moving back to _reset to get the issue fixed
* Fix tmpdir on non root become

and use system dirs
- fix issue with bad tempdir (not existing/not createable/not writeable)
i.e nobody and ~/.ansible/tmp
- added tests for blockfile case
* Revert "Temporarily revert c119d54"
This reverts commit 5c614a59a6.
* changes based on PR feedback and changelog fragment
* changes based on the review
* Fix tmpdir when makedirs failed so we just use the system tmp
* Let missing remote_tmp fail
If remote_tmp is missing then there's something more basic wrong in the
communication from the controller to the module-side. It's better to
be alerted in this case than to silently ignore it.
jborean and I have independently checked what happens if the user sets
ansible_remote_tmp to empty string and !!null and both cases work fine.
(null is turned into a default value controller-side. empty string
triggers the warning because it is probably not a directory that the
become user is able to use).
* Create base class for network-style connections
* clean up some differences
* Move NetworkConnectionBase
* Tweak netconf for tests
* Tweak when network_os is checked to avoid failing tests
* Pull back exec_command
* fix minor issues with debug and item labels
- no more `item=None`, we always have a label now
- debug should only show expected information, either msg= or the var in var=
- also fixed method name, deprecated misleading _get_item

This commit adds the slx_command module and tests as well as the
required slxos module_utils.
* Update copyright in header
* Adding missing module init
* Cleaning up shebangs/licensing.

* Adding Extreme Networks team members to BOTMETA.yml
This offers an optimization that allows loading larger
inventories of various structure by improving the
scaling laws involved for adding hosts and groups.
The primary speed benefit is the elimination of duplicate
recusion from traversing converging paths.
* aws ssm parameter lookup test case - fails demonstrating no exception when parameter missing

* aws ssm parameter lookup - Various fixes in response to review + recursive fix & test
* aws ssm parameter lookup - more in response to review - shertel/abadger
* aws ssm parameter lookup unit test - move to mocker according to abadger
* aws ssm parameter lookup - integrate with new documentation fragment
* aws ssm parameter lookup - accept either aws_profile or boto_profile
* aws ssm parameter lookup - eliminate lookup document fragment until env vars are fixed later
* Imported lookup plugin from Role
* Plugin cleanup, including:
* Use existing Python YAML parsing
* Remove environment variables as connection options
* Added initial debugging information
* Reworked the lookup plugin using the Python Request library. As it's available through Ansible, it makes communication with Conjur much more straight forward.
* Removed un-used libraries
* Fixed linting issues
* Standardized output on `format` and insure it works for 2.6, 2.7, and 3.x.
* Use quote_plus from the six library for improved python 2/3 behavior.
* Refactored identity & configuration to prefer user's file. This also includes a refactor to remove an un-needed dictionary merge method.
* Removed `requests` in favor of `ansible.module_utils.urls`.
* Refactored netrc loading to warn if host is not present.
* Tests and a refactor to support easier testing.
* Added reference to website

Also removes `expanduser` calls below (which will now be called automatically on
paths.)
* Defines maintainers for conjur_variable plugin
* BOTMETA.yml:
** defines $team_cyberark_conjur as maintainers of Conjur Variable plugin
** adds myself and @jvanderhoof to that team
* Adds URLs to relevant documentation for Conjur Variable lookup plugin
* Clarifies "the server," "the machine" -> "controlling host"
The machine identity used is that of the Ansible controlling host, not any
server being provisioned or instructed. This documentation change aims to make
that relationship clear.
* Adds response code to exception message on authentication failure
* Enhances exception messages to specify the controlling host
These error messages are less likely to confuse a user as to which machine is
associated with the files, identities, and configurations being described.
* Adds ANSIBLE_METADATA for Conjur variable lookup plugin
aws_ec2 is an inventory plugin intended to replace uses of the `contrib/inventory/ec2.py`
inventory script.
For advanced grouping, please use the `constructed` inventory plugin.
* allow shells to have per host options, remote_tmp
added language to shell
removed module lang setting from general as plugins have it now
use get to avoid bad powershell plugin
more resilient tmp discovery, fall back to `pwd`
add shell to docs
fixed options for when frags are only options
added shell set ops in t_e and fixed option frags
normalize tmp dir usag4e
- pass tmpdir/tmp/temp options as env var to commands, making it default for tempfile
- adjusted ansiballz tmpdir
- default local tempfile usage to the configured local tmp
- set env temp in action
add options to powershell
shift temporary to internal envvar/params
ensure tempdir is set if we pass var
ensure basic and url use expected tempdir
ensure localhost uses local tmp
give /var/tmp priority, less perms issues
more consistent tempfile mgmt for ansiballz
made async_dir configurable
better action handling, allow for finally rm tmp
fixed tmp issue and no more tempdir in ballz
hostvarize world readable and admin users
always set shell tempdir
added comment to discourage use of exception/flow control
* Mostly revert expand_user as it's not quite working.
This was an additional feature anyhow.
Kept the use of pwd as a fallback but moved it to a second ssh
connection. This is not optimal but getting that to work in a single
ssh connection was part of the problem holding this up.
(cherry picked from commit 395b714120522f15e4c90a346f5e8e8d79213aca)
* fixed script and other action plugins
ensure tmpdir deletion
allow for connections that don't support new options (legacy, 3rd party)
fixed tests
* Cache tasks as they are queued instead of en masse
This also moves the task caching from the PlayIterator to the
StrategyBase class, where it makes more sense (and makes it easier
to not have to change the strategy class methods leading to an API
change).
Fixes#31673
* Cleaning up unit tests due to 502ca780
* Provide a way to explicitly invoke the debugger with in the debug strategy

* Address issue if there were no previous tasks/state, and use the correct key
* Update docs for changes to the debugger
* Guard against a stat going negative through use of decrement
* Add a few notes about using the debugger on the free strategy
* Add changelog entry for task debugger
* Add a few versionadded indicators and a note about vars -> task_vars
* Change cast_list_to_dict to more generic rekey_on_member
cast_list_to_dict was taking an arbitrary data format in and returning
an arbitrary data format out. Rework this to be a more generic function
which creates a dict of dicts based on a member of the dict.
Remove cast_dict_to_list since rekey_on_member handles the use cases we
know about and cast_dict_to_list suffers from the same problems as
cast_list_to_dict. If this is still needed we could think about filters
we could add to do this in a short jinja2 pipeline.
* Fix bare excepts (bare excepts even catch sys.exit())
* Fix _clean_result for debug callback with 1 char var names
The check in _clean_results was removing any keys that happened
to be one of the chars in ('invocation') instead of the string
'invocation'. This was meant to be a tuple but there was no comma
so the for iterated the string instead of the tuple.
Introduced in 9dba580204
Update unit test to catch this.
Fixes#33723
* Use .pop() to remove invocation from results dict
In base callback _clean_results, simplify the way the
'invocation' item is removed.

* potential fix for py3 and py26
* potential fix for py3 and py26 take2
* add new line to kick off shippable
* remove cache file created
* fix filter name
* add space for shipable
* Adding aliases for field attributes and renaming async attribute
As of Python 3.7, the use of async raises an error, whereas before the use
of the reserved word was ignored. This adds an alias field for field attrs
so that both async and async_val (interally) work. This allows us to be
backwards-compatible with 3rd party plugins that may still reference Task.async,
but for the core engine to work on Py3.7+.
* Remove files fixed for 'async' usage from the python 3.7 skip list
* Allow the user to circumvent adding -tt on ssh commands to help aid in
debugging ssh related problems.
* Move config to the plugin

1fe67f9 introduced retries to the ssh connection put file and fetch
file. Unfortunately, that change broke the smart transport because it
started raising exceptions instead of returning from _run(). This
breakage is documented in #23711.
An attempt to fix it was made at #23717 but the first attempt was
objected to as needing to touch too much code. The second attmept was
objected to as smart was forced to encapsulate retries (thus retrying
a sftp "rety" times before trying scp "retry" times and then finally
moving onto piped). This third attempt has retries encapsulate smart.
So each sub-transport is tried once and if all three fail, another retry
attempt is made which tries each of the three again.
