Some distribtuions like SUSE has the rc%.d directories under /etc/init.d

"Some people expect the system startup scripts in /etc/rc.d/.
We use a slightly different structure for better LSB compliance."
* Add Ansible.ModuleUtils.PrivilegeUtil and converted code to use it
* Changed namespace and class to be a better standard and fixed some typos
* Changes from review
* changes to avoid out of bound mem of server 2008
* changes to detect failure when setting a privileged not allowed
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.
revised porting guide entry
Integrate code coverage collection into AnsiballZ.
ci_coverage
ci_complete
One of the earlier implementation of unified temp for 2.4 passed the
temp diretory to the remote side using this environment variable. We
later changed it to be passed via a module parameter but forgot to
remove the environment variable.
* Support multi-doc yaml in the from_yaml filter
* Most automatic method of handling multidoc
* Only use safe_load_all
* Implement separate filter
* Update plugin docs and changelog
Allow specifying the source and destination files' encodings in the template module
* Added output_encoding to the template module, default to utf-8
* Added documentation for the new variables
* Leveraged the encoding argument on to_text() and to_bytes() to keep the implementation as simple as possible
* Added integration tests with files in utf-8 and windows-1252 encodings, testing all combinations
* fix bad smell test by excluding windows-1252 files from the utf8 checks
* fix bad smell test by excluding valid files from the smart quote test
* win_user: use different method to validate credentials that does not rely on SMB/RPC
* Use Add-Type as SetLastError on .net reflection not working on 2012 R2
* win_chocolatey: refactor module to fix bugs and add new features
* Fix some typos and only emit install warning not in check mode
* Fixes when testing out installing chocolatey from a server
* Added changelog fragment
* Enable check_mode in command module
This only works if supplying creates or removes since it needs
something to base the heuristic off. If none are supplied it will just
skip as usual.
Fixes#15828
* Add documentation for new check_mode behavior
* Update nclu.py
Stop module from running `net` on empty commands.
* Update nclu.py
Updated the copyright date
* Update nclu.py
Returned metadata version to 1.1
* Update nclu.py
Fix indentation to be a multiple of 4.
* Create changelog fragment
* Only report change when home directory is different
Add tests with home: parameter
Have to skip macOS for now since there is a bug when specifying the home directory path for an existing user that results in a module failure. That needs to be fixed in a separate PR.
* fix a (forgotten?) change in moving createhome -> create_home
Fix for following bug on FreeBSD host whith user module:
```
fatal: [webssp]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "module_stderr": "X11 forwarding request failed

", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", "rc": 1}
```
It happenned with 'createhome' AND with 'create_home' form, with python 2.7 AND python 3.6
* Add changelog
Co-authored-by: dgeo <dgeo@users.noreply.github.com>
* 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
The ssh connection plugin is overzealous in thinking that error code 255
can only come from ssh. Python can return 255 in some circumstances and
error from php does as well.
* __file__ won't work if we want to invoke modules via -m or if we
figure out how to keep modules from hitting the disk with pipelining.
* module.tmpdir is the new way to place a file where it will be cleaned
automatically.
Change format string to not depend on __file__:
* cloud/amazon/ec2_elb_lb.py
* cloud/amazon/elb_classic_lb.py
Use module.tempdir:
* packaging/os/apt.py
* files/unarchive.py
* Add additional puppet options
Add support for puppet options --debug, --verbose, --summary,
and extend logdest to support logging to stdout and syslog at
the same time.
Fixes issue: #37986
* Fix docs
* Doc fix, add release note
* Fix silly yaml error
* Correct changelog, add C() to params in doc
* Fix tmpdir on non root become
- also avoid exception if tmpdir and remote_tmp are None
- give 'None' on deescalation so tempfile will fallback to it's default behaviour
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).
* Revert "Account for empty string regexp in lineinfile (#41451)"
This reverts commit 4b5b4a760c.
* Use context managers for interacting with files
* Store line and regexp parameters in a variable
* Add warning when regexp is an empty string
* Remove '=' from error messages
* Update warning message and add changelog
* Add tests
* Improve warning message
Offer an equivalent regexp that won't trigger the warning.
Update tests to match new warning.
* Add porting guide entry for lineinfile change
* elasticsearch_plugin - Show STDERR on module failures.
I tried to install a ES plugin without
become: yes
and found after debugging the module that the module failed ude to permission issues.
The only error message I got was
Is analysis-icu a valid plugin name?
That was strange considering I followed the example documentation by the letter.
I found out that when this module fails, it hides the real reason for failure.
This patch replaces the generic error with more meaningful diagnostics.
* elasticsearch_plugin - Show STDERR on module failures. Changelog fragment
samdoran commented 2 days ago
This looks good. Please create a changelog fragment to go along with this change. See fragments for examples.
* runas + async - get working on older hosts
* fixed up sanity issues
* Moved first task to end of test for CI race issues
* Minor change to async test to be more stable, change to runas become to not touch the disk
