* Replace InventoryFileCacheModule with a better developer-interface
Use new interface for inventory plugins with backwards compatibility
Auto-update the backing cache-plugin if the cache has changed after parsing the inventory plugin
* Update CacheModules to use the config system and add a deprecation warning if they are being imported directly rather than using cache_loader
* Fix foreman inventory caching
* Add tests
* Add integration test to check that fact caching works normally with cache plugins using ansible.constants and inventory caching provides a helpful error for non-compatible cache plugins
* Add some developer documentation for inventory and cache plugins
* Add user documentation for inventory caching
* Add deprecation docs
* Apply suggestions from docs review
* Add changelog
* Add a new check to ensure that module arguments are valid python identifiers
* Move the check up higher, out of the if docs block
* Skip validate-modules on py2
* Remove errant alias
* Change the retry_files_enabled to False and modify the comments to reflect that
this has been disabled.
* Change the default action of retry_files_enabled to False
* Update porting guide to reflect change in default state of retry_files_enabled variable
* Change log documenting a change in default behaviour of retry_files_enabled
* Revert config change to comment out the retry_files_enabled line to let the user decided what is best.
Comment above still states how to change.
* Python interpreter discovery
* No longer blindly default to only `/usr/bin/python`
* `ansible_python_interpreter` defaults to `auto_legacy`, which will discover the platform Python interpreter on some platforms (but still favor `/usr/bin/python` if present for backward compatibility). Use `auto` to always use the discovered interpreter, append `_silent` to either value to suppress warnings.
* includes new doc utility method `get_versioned_doclink` to generate a major.minor versioned doclink against docs.ansible.com (or some other config-overridden URL)
* docs revisions for python interpreter discovery
(cherry picked from commit 5b53c0012ab7212304c28fdd24cb33fd8ff755c2)
* verify output on some distros, cleanup
Based on https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html
the default callback paths do not contain `_plugin`. Thus `~/.ansible/plugins/callback_plugins` and `/usr/share/ansible/plugins/plugin_type/action_plugins` are incorrect. Verified on 2.7.5 that by default `plugins/action` works and `plugins/action_plugins` does not.
* Add new module property to Windows modules
* Add brief pause to file tests to ensure the stat times are not equal, which was happening sometimes.
* Raise TypeError on error rather than fail_json()
* Rework error message to be less verbose
* Add porting guide entry
* update the developing_inventory docs to show ungrouped as a dict with a "children" key; avoid
[WARNING]: Found both group and host with same name: ungrouped
* Fix and update vault docs, add and clarify examples and options, introduce the concept of labeling a vault for clarity even if only a single password is in use for a given run, rework multi-password section to align to these concepts.
* Document -client scripts for ansible vault.

* Unit tests for cmdline fact parsing
* Review comments
Fixes: #22766
Signed-off-by: Abhijeet Kasurde <akasurde@redhat.com>
`ansible-galaxy init` creates a directory named `role_name` (in the given example) instead of adding the structure in the current working directory.
Additionally adding a clarification for repository creation as the proper repository root is not described yet.

* Remove misleading statement passwords must be same
Since 2.4 Ansible has supported multiple vault passwords:
<https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/vault.html#multiple-vault-passwords>
Meaning lines like the following are misleading:
> The password used with vault currently must be the same for all files you wish
> to use together at the same time.
-- `docs/docsite/rst/user_guide/vault.rst`
To demonstrate this with Ansible 2.7, save the following as `example.yaml`:
```
- name: Display output from two vaults with different passwords
hosts: localhost
connection: local
vars_files: [one.yaml, two.yaml]
tasks:
- name: View secret from one.yaml vault
debug: { var: one }
- name: View secret from two.yaml vault
debug: { var: two }
```
Then run the three following commands choosing two different passwords:
```
$ echo 'one: 1' | ansible-vault encrypt --vault-id id1@prompt --output=one.yaml
$ echo 'two: 2' | ansible-vault encrypt --vault-id id2@prompt --output=two.yaml
$ ansible-playbook --vault-id id1@prompt --vault-id id2@prompt example.yaml
```
`ansible-vault` stores an ID in plain text in the vault file.
* Remove note about default in Ansible 2.1
As requested by gundalow in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/49798
* [WIP] become plugins
Move from hardcoded method to plugins for ease of use, expansion and overrides
- load into connection as it is going to be the main consumer
- play_context will also use to keep backwards compat API
- ensure shell is used to construct commands when needed
- migrate settings remove from base config in favor of plugin specific configs
- cleanup ansible-doc
- add become plugin docs
- remove deprecated sudo/su code and keywords
- adjust become options for cli
- set plugin options from context
- ensure config defs are avaialbe before instance
- refactored getting the shell plugin, fixed tests
- changed into regex as they were string matching, which does not work with random string generation
- explicitly set flags for play context tests
- moved plugin loading up front
- now loads for basedir also
- allow pyc/o for non m modules
- fixes to tests and some plugins
- migrate to play objects fro play_context
- simiplify gathering
- added utf8 headers
- moved option setting
- add fail msg to dzdo
- use tuple for multiple options on fail/missing
- fix relative plugin paths
- shift from play context to play
- all tasks already inherit this from play directly
- remove obsolete 'set play'
- correct environment handling
- add wrap_exe option to pfexec
- fix runas to noop
- fixed setting play context
- added password configs
- removed required false
- remove from doc building till they are ready
future development:
- deal with 'enable' and 'runas' which are not 'command wrappers' but 'state flags' and currently hardcoded in diff subsystems
* cleanup
remove callers to removed func
removed --sudo cli doc refs
remove runas become_exe
ensure keyerorr on plugin
also fix backwards compat, missing method is attributeerror, not ansible error
get remote_user consistently
ignore missing system_tmpdirs on plugin load
correct config precedence
add deprecation
fix networking imports
backwards compat for plugins using BECOME_METHODS
* Port become_plugins to context.CLIARGS
This is a work in progress:
* Stop passing options around everywhere as we can use context.CLIARGS
instead
* Refactor make_become_commands as asked for by alikins
* Typo in comment fix
* Stop loading values from the cli in more than one place
Both play and play_context were saving default values from the cli
arguments directly. This changes things so that the default values are
loaded into the play and then play_context takes them from there.
* Rename BECOME_PLUGIN_PATH to DEFAULT_BECOME_PLUGIN_PATH
As alikins said, all other plugin paths are named
DEFAULT_plugintype_PLUGIN_PATH. If we're going to rename these, that
should be done all at one time rather than piecemeal.
* One to throw away
This is a set of hacks to get setting FieldAttribute defaults to command
line args to work. It's not fully done yet.
After talking it over with sivel and jimi-c this should be done by
fixing FieldAttributeBase and _get_parent_attribute() calls to do the
right thing when there is a non-None default.
What we want to be able to do ideally is something like this:
class Base(FieldAttributeBase):
_check_mode = FieldAttribute([..] default=lambda: context.CLIARGS['check'])
class Play(Base):
# lambda so that we have a chance to parse the command line args
# before we get here. In the future we might be able to restructure
# this so that the cli parsing code runs before these classes are
# defined.
class Task(Base):
pass
And still have a playbook like this function:
---
- hosts:
tasks:
- command: whoami
check_mode: True
(The check_mode test that is added as a separate commit in this PR will
let you test variations on this case).
There's a few separate reasons that the code doesn't let us do this or
a non-ugly workaround for this as written right now. The fix that
jimi-c, sivel, and I talked about may let us do this or it may still
require a workaround (but less ugly) (having one class that has the
FieldAttributes with default values and one class that inherits from
that but just overrides the FieldAttributes which now have defaults)
