* Fix: create retry_files_save_path if it doesn't exist
Ansible documentation states that retry_files_save_path directory will be
created if it does not already exist. It currently doesn't, so this patch
fixes it :)
* Use makedirs_safe to ensure thread-safe dir creation
@bcoca suggested to use the makedirs_safe helper function :)
(cherry picked from commit 828b73dd2d)
The changes to exclude implicit localhosts from group patterns exposed
the bug that we sometimes create multiple implicit localhosts, which
caused some bugs with things like includes, where the host was used as
an entry into a dict, so having multiple meant that the incorrect host
(with a different uuid) was found and includes were not executed for
implicit localhosts.
This allows the PlaybookExecutor to receive more information regarding
what happened internal to the TaskQueueManager and strategy, to determine
things like whether or not the play iteration should stop.
Fixes#15523
(cherry picked from commit fbec2d9692)
The nxos cli provider would not properly handle ssh key files passed
from the playbook task. The ssh_keyfile argument is now properly
passed to the ssh authentication method
This fix address the bug reported in #3862
Also updates doc on variable precedence, as it was incorrect for the
order of play vars/vars_prompt/vars_files in relation to set_fact and
registered variables.
Fixes#14702Fixes#14826
Since we now use the PlayIterator to carry forward failures from previous
play executions, in the event that some hosts which had previously failed
are not in the current inventory we now create a stub state instead of
raising an error.
Exception was raised when trying to use ssh-agent for authentication to
ios devices. This fix enables ssh-agent and enable use of password
protected ssh keys. There is one additional fix to capture authentication
exceptions nicely.
These tests were not part of CI at the time 2.1 was released.
They are not currently passing in stable-2.1, as changes necessary
for them to pass were made after the release.
* alias module is very basic and removing it leads to the suse default
config failing
* future improvements might test different modules and the effect of
them being removed
(cherry picked from commit cf62a62b83)
* reduce async sleep time in test
* make zypper test less destructive (don't break following uses of zypper)
* fix ca cert on suse
* fix/enable postgres/mysql on opensuseleap
* fix mysql test for mysql versions 5.7.6 and newer
* skip sni_host check on ubuntu1604
* add HTTPTESTER flag for test_uri
ubuntu 16.04 uses dash which drops env variables containing a dot
we work around this by adding an explicit env variable to enable httptester
(cherry picked from commit c06884eff0)
* Use httptester docker image for http tests
* When not running with an httptester linked container, use public test sites
(cherry picked from commit accf40d8a8)
* In the VariableManager, we were not properly tracking if a file
had already been loaded, so we continuously append data to the end
of the list there for host and group vars, meaning large sets of data
are duplicated multiple times
* In the inventory, we were merging the host/group vars with the vars
local to the host needlessly, as the VariableManager already handles that.
This leads to needless duplication of the data and makes combining the
vars in VariableManager take even longer.
Ansible excessively checks the file system for the potential presence of
`group_vars` and `host_vars` files.
For large numbers of groups this leads to combinatorial performance
issues.
This commit generates a set of group_vars and host_vars filenames using
`os.listdir()` in every possible location and then checks against the sets
before making a stat of the file system.
Also included in this commit is caching of the base directory lookup
for the inventory.
