At its most basic, this is nothing more than an array or hash lookup,
but when used in conjunction with map, it is very useful. For example,
while constructing an "ssh-keyscan …" command to update known_hosts on
all hosts in a group, one can get a list of IP addresses with:
groups['x']|map('extract', hostvars, 'ec2_ip_address')|list
This returns hostvars[a].ec2_ip_address, hostvars[b].ec2_ip_address, and
so on. You can even specify an array of keys for a recursive lookup, and
mix string and integer keys depending on what you're looking up:
['localhost']|map('extract', hostvars, ['vars','group_names',0])|first
== hostvars['localhost']['vars']['group_names'][0]
== 'ungrouped'
Includes documentation and tests.
Modeled after the yum tests but also tests local package installations
as fixed with PR#1256.
This depends on PRs #1256, #1261 and #1262 in ansible-modules-extra.
Looks like there are two pattern caches that need to be cleared for this to work- added the second one.
Added integration tests for add_host to prevent future regressions.
Check for database presence in a nice way, rather than
dropping the database.
Thankfully there was a syntax error in the previous
version, so no database would have been dropped.
There was no check for whether it succeeded or not.
* Fix the task_vars parameter to not default to a mutable type (dict)
* Implement invocation in the base class's run() method have each action
module call the run() method's implemention in the base class.
* Return values from the action plugins' run() method takes the return
value from the base class run() method into account so that invocation
makes its way to the output.
