This fixes#2632. Briefly: specifying things like paths using complex
args in a playbook will make the objects unicode instances. The selinux
module does not accept unicode instances for its char * arguments; it
wants str instances.
Per mpdehaan's comment on #2632 I just went ahead and converted all
paths to UTF-8. I don't know if it would be better to do something like
converting to locale.getpreferredencoding(), but I factored all the
conversions out into new method _to_filesystem_str, so there's only one
place that needs to be changed in the future.
This module allows you to set host facts (or export play variables to the playbook scope if you fancy that).
The module also accepts complex arguments.
```yaml
- action: set_fact fact="something" global_fact="${local_var}"'
- action: set_fact
args:
fact: something
global_fact: ${local_var}
```
- add a skip option so it won't raise an exception if you don't match anything
- make it work as a drop-in replacement for first_available_file
- document in the module comments all of the above cases
AR function was leaving some tmp files behind, want to revert, will have better implementation soon, this is the old way now.
This reverts commit f74a1fa4f0.
Lookup plugins 'sequence' and 'template' now import 'ansible.utils'
appropriately in order to use the 'listify_lookup_plugin_terms'
function.
Also, 'dnstxt' and 'env' now check to see if 'terms' is a string;
without this calls like '{{ lookup('env', 'HOME') }}' fail.
The copy action accepts force=no, which tells it not to replace an
existing file even if it differs from the source. The copy action
plug-in wasn't respecting this option when operated in check mode, so it
would report that changes are necessary in check mode even though copy
would make no changes when run normally.
Runner._remote_md5 was changed to make the logic for setting rc perhaps
a little more clear, and to make sure that rc=0 when the file does not
exist.
Look for a file with the base name of the group/host, first without
a file extension, then with a '.yml' extension, and, finally, with
a '.yaml' extension, loading vars from only the first one found.
This Module allows to manage privileges on PostgreSQL database objects
(currently: tables, sequences, functions, databases, schemas, languages and
tablespaces) as well as group role memberships.
It is basically a wrapper around most of the functionality of PostgreSQL's
GRANT and REVOKE statements with additional detection of changes and support
for dry-runs (check-mode).
postgresql_privs should work with PostgreSQL 8.4 and above. Python Module
psycopg2 is required on the remote host.
Return public SSH key if the user module is called with generate_ssh_key=yes.
Since "user" doesn't overwrite files, this also allows querying of existing
public keys.
Used in playbooks together with the "register" keyword, the returned key can be
passed to the "authorized_key" module allowing easy setup of SSH public key
authentication between remote hosts.
As documented in #2623, early variable substitution causes when_
tests to fail and possibly other side effects.
I can see the reason for this early substitution, likely introduced
in 1dfe60a6, to allow many playbook parameters to be templated.
This is a valid goal, but the recursive nature of the utils.template
function means that it goes too far.
At this point removing tasks from the list of parameters to be
substituted seems sufficient to make my tests pass. It may be the
case that other parameters should be excluded, but I suspect not.
Adding a test case. I would prefer to analyse not just the aggregate
statistics but also whether the results are as expected - I can't
see an easy way to do that with the available callbacks at present.
Technically this isn't quite valid YAML when this happens, so we make it valid. This means that if a future commander
API allows save/load it should make sure it does similar processing.
