* `context/target` tests must be in groups 1 - 2.
* `context/controller` tests must be in groups 3 - 5.
This makes it easier to efficiently organize groups and balance test runtimes.
* fix facts delegation loop overwrite
partial revert of change to allow facts to be present in each loop iteration
was not needed in final results as result processing alreayd had the disctiontion
and ended up breaking the assumptions in the calling code.
fixes#76676
ssh plugin, use 'correct' information source in all cases
* still fallback to pc
* added inventory to new test
* undef var can still show as parser error on pc
now task_exectuer has a more accurate error handling
* ensure hostvars are available on delegation
* also inventory_hostname must point to current host and not delegated one
* fix get_connection since it was still mixing original host vars and delegated ones
* also return connection vars for delegation and non delegation alike
* add test to ensure we have expected usage when directly assigning for non delegated host
* fix delegated interpeter
* allow returning fact if it is 'the right host'
* added note for future fix/efficiency
as it stands we rerun discovery for the delegated host
unless its saving facts to itself
* fixed test lacking delegate_to mock
* fix delegation vars usage and reporting
- just pass delegated host vars + task vars to plugins
and avoid poluting with original host vars
- updated tests
function changed to do in place replacement, should be less expensive even with copy as it avoids 'sub copies', can compose with module_args_copy to create replacement for old behavior
attempt to fix#52910
* handle lists and subdicts correctly
* added missing exception case, which was not noticed since 'cleaning' was not working
* added comments to clarify exceptions
All inventory hosts to which a connection is actually established
should declare ansible_python_interpreter to avoid interpreter
auto-discovery, as that may select the wrong interpreter.
* Move var_blending test inventory into test.
* Remove Amazon specific inventory entry for tests.
* Remove Azure specific inventory entry for tests.
* Move var_precedence test inventory into test.
* Move unicode test inventory into test.
* Remove unused inventory entry.
* Move gathering_facts test inventory into test.
* Move delegate_to test inventory into test.
* Clean up inventory for binary_modules test.
* Clean up integration test inventory.
* Update Shippable integration test groups.
* Update integration test group aliases.
* Rebalance AWS and Azure tests with extra group.
* Rebalance Windows tests with another group.
* If we evaluate task.loop/with_items when calculating delegate_to vars, cache the items. Fixes#28231
* Add comments about caching loop items
* Add test for delegate_to+loop+random
* Be more careful about where we update task.loop
