for `VariableManager._get_magic_variables()`.
This saves a lot of time re-iterating the nearly always constant global
list of groups and their members.
Generate once and cache, and invalidate cache in case `add_host:` or
`group_by:` are used.
* Port set_*_if_different functions to python3
* Add surrogate_or_strict and surrogate_or_replace error handlers for
to_text, to_bytes, to_native
* Set default error handler to surrogate_or_replace
* Make use of the new error handlers in the already ported code
* Move the unittests for module_utils._text as they aren't in basic.py
* Cleanup around SEQUENCETYPE. On python2.6+ SEQUENCETYPE includes
strings so make sure code omits those explicitly if necessary
* Allow arg_spec aliases to be other sequence types
This feature also cleans up and extends the meta subsystem:
* Allows for some meta actions (noop, clear_facts, clear_host_errors,
and end_play) to operate on a per-host basis, meaning they can work
with the free strategy as expected.
* Allows for conditionals on meta tasks.
* Fixes a bug where (for the linear strategy) metas were not treated
as a run_once task, meaning every host in inventory would run the
meta task.
Fixes#1476
* adds squashing to objects, which allows them to be squashed down
to a final "view" before post_validate to avoid expensive evaluations
of parent attributes
Introduces the `inherit` param for FieldAttributes, which is now used
in BaseMeta when constructing the getter property to enhance performance
by reducing the amount of work the getter generally has to do.
* Use six instead of urllib2, for python 3 compat
* Open the certificate file using binary mode
On python3, os.write requires 'bytes'. Also avoid
using a too broad exception, since the issue was hard
to spot due to it.
* Do not add the header User-agent if not set
Python3 module do raise a exception if a header is
not a string-like object, and the default value is None.
The authorize method was calling run_commands() instead of execute(). This
fixes that problem so that authorize() calls are made direclty on the shell
object now
* fix setting cookie after successful login
* raise NotImplementedError if run_commands is called in Rest
* return header msg key if status is not 2xx
* add action plugin ops_config
* New features for include_vars
include_vars.py now allows you to include an entire directory and its nested directories of variable files.
Added Features..
* Ignore by default *.md, *.py, and *.pyc
* Ignore any list of files.
* Only include files nested by depth (default=unlimited)
* Match only files matching (valid regex)
* Sort files alphabetically and load in that order.
* Sort directories alphabetically and load in that order.
```
- include_vars: 'vars/all.yml'
- name: include all.yml
include_vars:
file: 'vars/all.yml'
- name: include all yml files in vars/all and all nested directories
include_vars:
dir: 'vars/all'
- name: include all yml files in vars/all and all nested directories and save the output in test.
include_vars:
dir: 'vars/all'
name: test
- name: include all yml files in vars/services
include_vars:

depth: 1
- name: include only bastion.yml files
include_vars:
dir: 'vars'
files_matching: 'bastion.yml'
- name: include only all yml files exception bastion.yml
include_vars:

```
* Added whitelist for file extensisions (yaml, yml, json)
* Removed unit tests in favor of integration tests
Working on the test suite, I tried to replace a call to sudo to a
call to su, and found out that I can't change user to 'nobody'
without changing the option become_flags in ansible.cfg
As this would be dependent on the user and the task, it make more sense
to push the setting there.
While trying to fix the test suite on python3, I noticed
this test fail due to to_json adding more whitespace in
python3 than in python2. So -w should ignored those
differences.
