The _fixup_perms2 method checks to see if the user that is being sudo'd
is an unprivileged user or root. If it is an unprivileged user, some
checks are done to see if becoming this user would lock the ssh user out
of temp files, among other things. If this check fails, an error prints
telling the user to check the documentation for becoming an unprivileged
user.
On some systems, the stderr prints out the unprivileged user the ssh
user was trying to become contained in smartquotes. These quotes aren't
in the ASCII range, and so when we're trying to call `str.format()` to
combine the stderr message with the error text we get a
UnicodeEncodeError as python can't coerce the smartquotes using the
system default encoding. By calling `to_native()` on the error message
we can ensure that the error message is a native string for the
`Exception` handling, as `Exception` messages need to be native strings
to avoid errors (byte strings in python2, and text strings in python3)
Fixes: #18444
Previously, the Conditional class did a simple check when an
AnsibleUndefinedVariable error was raised to see if certain strings were
present. This patch tries to be smarter by evaluating the variable contained
in the error string and compared to the defined/not defined conditionals in
the conditional string.
This also modifies the UndefinedError message from HostVars slightly to
match the format returned jinja2 in general, making it easier to match the
error message in the Conditional code.
Fixes#18514
* Add test cases for VyOS commands that don't honor paging settings
Testing for issue fixed in PR #18546
* Add provider line and fix indentation
For the way we invoke the tests we need to specify the `provider:`
Also fix the indentation on `register:`
VMs in VPC and not in VPC can have an identical name. As a result VMs in a VPC must be sorted out if no VPC is given.
Due the API limitation, the only way is to check if the network of the VM is in a VPC.
* Change old recommendation about insecure variables
These warnings were relevant before ansible had the secure vault feature:
any secret put into a variable used to be a bad idea.
With the vault feature (available since ansible 1.5) it's no longer a bad
idea to use these variables, as long as they aren't stored in plain text.
* Update intro_inventory.rst
Minor edit
With 2.0, we decided to create a special list of param names which were
taken out of the role data structure and stored as params instead (connection,
port, and remote_user). This causes problems with inheritance of these params,
so we are now deprecating that while also keeping those keys in the ds so they
are brought in as attributes on the Role correctly.
Fixes#17395
* Moved the _inventory.clear_group_dict_cache() from creating a group which doesn't exist, to adding members to the group.
* Update __init__.py
Update to use changed: block to catch all changes for cache clear as suggested
Fixes#18544.
When a loop is over an empty list, the result is set to
{'skipped_reason': u'No items in the list', 'skipped': True, 'changed': False}
which means that accessing `hr._result['results']` throws a `KeyError`.
