* `ansible_python_interpreter` defaults to `auto_legacy`, which will discover the platform Python interpreter on some platforms (but still favor `/usr/bin/python` if present for backward compatibility). Use `auto` to always use the discovered interpreter, append `_silent` to either value to suppress warnings.

* Remove misleading statement passwords must be same
Since 2.4 Ansible has supported multiple vault passwords:
<https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/vault.html#multiple-vault-passwords>
Meaning lines like the following are misleading:
> The password used with vault currently must be the same for all files you wish
> to use together at the same time.
-- `docs/docsite/rst/user_guide/vault.rst`
To demonstrate this with Ansible 2.7, save the following as `example.yaml`:
```
- name: Display output from two vaults with different passwords
hosts: localhost
connection: local
vars_files: [one.yaml, two.yaml]
tasks:
- name: View secret from one.yaml vault
debug: { var: one }
- name: View secret from two.yaml vault
debug: { var: two }
```
Then run the three following commands choosing two different passwords:
```
$ echo 'one: 1' | ansible-vault encrypt --vault-id id1@prompt --output=one.yaml
$ echo 'two: 2' | ansible-vault encrypt --vault-id id2@prompt --output=two.yaml
$ ansible-playbook --vault-id id1@prompt --vault-id id2@prompt example.yaml
```
`ansible-vault` stores an ID in plain text in the vault file.

* [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

* 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)

Without this modprobe always reports changed when modprobe-ing a builtin module.
With this, if a kernel module is a builtin, the modprobe module will:
- succeed (without incorrectly reporting changed) if ``state`` is ``present``;
- fail if ``state`` is ``absent``
The failure will have whatever error message modprobe returns when
attempting to remove a builtin module. For example:
``modprobe: ERROR: Module nfs is builtin.``

It was super incomplete, and the interface was pretty strange; it had
built-in features to handle pretty bespoke workflows ("clean504",
e.g.) but was lacking lots of other useful features (like the ability
to create a webhook with a shared secret). Rather than try to update
the interface in a backwards compatible way, I've replaced it with the
more predictable, single-purpose github_webhook and
github_webhook_facts modules.

* XenServer related modules - initial commit
- New module_util: xenserver. Contains common module arguments, functions
and classes useful for future XenServer related modules.
- New module_docs_fragment: xenserver. Describes common module arguments.
- New module: xenserver_guest. Supports VM deployment, reconfiguration,
removal, detection of changes, state management, fact gathering and
Ansible check mode. Module is fully documented.
- Updated: developing_module_utilities.rst.
- Module params, workflow and some functions are based on or taken from
vmware_guest module.
* Implemented support for configuring custom VM params in xenserver_guest module
* Compatibility fixes and documentation update
- xenserver module_util: implemented support for XenAPI.py version older
than 7.2.

* VM power state management refactoring, subargument specs in xenserver_guest module, other fixes
- VM power state management code moved from xenserver_guest module to xenserver
module_util (set_vm_power_state function).
- Code for waiting for VM IP address moved from xenserver_guest module to
xenserver module_util (wait_for_vm_ip_address function).
- xenserver module_util: implemented get_object_ref function to clean up
a lot of repeated code in xenserver_guest module.

'hostname' common module argument. They are more in line with what
XenServer users are familiar with.
- xenserver module_util: minor fixes.
- xenserver_guest module: removed VM state management other than 'present',
'absent' and 'poweredon'. Other states are to be managed by separate module.

for subargument validation.
- xenserver_guest module: reorganized code for disk and network reconfiguation
to minimize code duplication.
- xenserver_guest module: renamed 'cdrom.iso' module argument to

* Support skip of platforms by version in tests.
Previously a remote platform could be skipped completely using the alias:

reading of the documentation but isn't explicit and leads to the
perhaps unexpected result that you can run both commands with the same
configuration in the same directory and get different results.
This commit adds a note to the documentation making the difference in
behavior explicit.

This change adds a third optional argument to the ternary filter to
handle a null value. If the third option is specified null and false
are treated differently.
For instance, take the following example:
{{ enabled | ternary('no shutdown', 'shutdown') }}
If enabled == True, then 'no shutdown' is used.
If enabled in (False, None), then 'shutdown' is used.
With this change the following is possible:
{{ enabled | ternary('no shutdown', 'shutdown', omit) }}
If enabled == True, then 'no shutdown'
If enabled == False, then 'shutdown'
If enabled == None, then omit

`pip install ansible[azure]` results in `zsh: no matches found: ansible[azure]` at least in my computer (zsh on Ubuntu). I don't know if it is the case with all shells, but at least for me it is. Since square brackets `[]` are special characters in bash, I propose adding single quotes to make sure that package name is always interpreted as literal. The same error is also resolvable by setting noglob.

* 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.
Since the ACI modules (like most network-related modules) run on the
local controller, this PR adds the necessary details so users are aware
of this particular feature.
Extends `module_defaults` by adding a prefix to defaults `group/` which denotes a builtin list of modules. Initial groups are: `group/aws`, `group/azure`, and `group/gcp`
Wow, this does not seem to be an uncommon misspelling. Might be there
are some left that span over two lines. I noticed the one in the git
module and then used `grep -rw 'the the'` to find some more.
Blocks currently don't support loops such as with_items or sequence. It would be helpful to make this clear in the docs otherwise it's a bit of a gotcha.

Now that we don't need to worry about python-2.4 and 2.5, we can make
some improvements to the way AnsiballZ handles modules.
* Change AnsiballZ wrapper to use import to invoke the module
We need the module to think of itself as a script because it could be
coded as:
main()
or as:
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Or even as:
if __name__ == '__main__':
random_function_name()
A script will invoke all of those. Prior to this change, we invoked
a second Python interpreter on the module so that it really was
a script. However, this means that we have to run python twice (once
for the AnsiballZ wrapper and once for the module). This change makes
the module think that it is a script (because __name__ in the module ==
'__main__') but it's actually being invoked by us importing the module
code.
There's three ways we've come up to do this.
* The most elegant is to use zipimporter and tell the import mechanism
that the module being loaded is __main__:
* 5959f11c9d/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py (L175)
* zipimporter is nice because we do not have to extract the module from
the zip file and save it to the disk when we do that. The import
machinery does it all for us.
* The drawback is that modules do not have a __file__ which points
to a real file when they do this. Modules could be using __file__
to for a variety of reasons, most of those probably have
replacements (the most common one is to find a writable directory
for temporary files. AnsibleModule.tmpdir should be used instead)
We can monkeypatch __file__ in fom AnsibleModule initialization
but that's kind of gross. There's no way I can see to do this
from the wrapper.
* Next, there's imp.load_module():
* https://github.com/abadger/ansible/blob/340edf7489/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py#L151
* imp has the nice property of allowing us to set __name__ to
__main__ without changing the name of the file itself
* We also don't have to do anything special to set __file__ for
backwards compatibility (although the reason for that is the
drawback):
* Its drawback is that it requires the file to exist on disk so we
have to explicitly extract it from the zipfile and save it to
a temporary file
* The last choice is to use exec to execute the module:
* https://github.com/abadger/ansible/blob/f47a4ccc76/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py#L175
* The code we would have to maintain for this looks pretty clean.
In the wrapper we create a ModuleType, set __file__ on it, read
the module's contents in from the zip file and then exec it.
* Drawbacks: We still have to explicitly extract the file's contents
from the zip archive instead of letting python's import mechanism
handle it.
* Exec also has hidden performance issues and breaks certain
assumptions that modules could be making about their own code:
http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2011/2/1/exec-in-python/
Our plan is to use imp.load_module() for now, deprecate the use of
__file__ in modules, and switch to zipimport once the deprecation
period for __file__ is over (without monkeypatching a fake __file__ in
via AnsibleModule).
* Rename the name of the AnsiBallZ wrapped module
This makes it obvious that the wrapped module isn't the module file that
we distribute. It's part of trying to mitigate the fact that the module
is now named __main)).py in tracebacks.
* Shield all wrapper symbols inside of a function
With the new import code, all symbols in the wrapper become visible in
the module. To mitigate the chance of collisions, move most symbols
into a toplevel function. The only symbols left in the global namespace
are now _ANSIBALLZ_WRAPPER and _ansiballz_main.

`{{ 'Some DNS servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4' | regex_findall('\b(?:[0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}\b') }}`
It needs be double backslashes to escape the backslashes:
`{{ 'Some DNS servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4' | regex_findall('\\b(?:[0-9]{1,3}\\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}\\b') }}`
