- cleaned up tests
- fixed ansible-pull to work with new inventory
- removed version added notation to please rst check
- inventory in config relative to config
- ensures full paths on passed inventories
* implicit localhost connection local
* Update module_utils.six to latest
We've been held back on the version of six we could use on the module
side to 1.4.x because of python-2.4 compatibility. Now that our minimum
is Python-2.6, we can update to the latest version of six in
module_utils and get rid of the second copy in lib/ansible/compat.
If the # is inside of quotes, it's a string. If it's outside of quotes
then an exception will be raised which we'll catch and then send to the
to_text() call at the end of the function anyhow.
Fixes#22868
* allow users to control group var merge order
With ansible_group_priority var at each group will determine merge order with siblings,
falling back to sorted names when priority is equal as it did before.
Parent/children relationships still work as they did and have higher precedence than priority
* move priority setting to groups, sourc indep
* now both inventory and play group follow priority
* removed double exception handling
>>> timeit.timeit("uuid.uuid4()", setup="import uuid")
9.518647909164429
>>> timeit.timeit("get_unique_id()", setup="from __main__ import get_unique_id")
0.40436601638793945
This will mainly be beneficial when a very large inventory is being
used, however it may also help with some very large playbooks.
* Add a surrogate_then_replace error strategy to keep to_bytes from tracebacking by default
* Port all code that explicitly used surrogate_or_replace to surrogate_then_replace
* Fix bug (#18355) where encrypted inventories fail
This is first part of fix for #18355
* Make DataLoader._get_file_contents return bytes
The issue #18355 is caused by a change to inventory to
stop using _get_file_contents so that it can handle text
encoding itself to better protect against harmless text
encoding errors in ini files (invalid unicode text in
comment fields).
So this makes _get_file_contents return bytes so it and other
callers can handle the to_text().
The data returned by _get_file_contents() is now a bytes object
instead of a text object. The callers of _get_file_contents() have
been updated to call to_text() themselves on the results.
Previously, the ini parser attempted to work around
ini files that potentially include non-vailid unicode
in comment lines. To do this, it stopped using
DataLoader._get_file_contents() which does the decryption of
files if vault encrypted. It didn't use that because _get_file_contents
previously did to_text() on the read data itself.
_get_file_contents() returns a bytestring now, so ini.py
can call it and still special case ini file comments when
converting to_text(). That also means encrypted inventory files
are decrypted first.
Fixes#18355
