Adrian Likins 45a9f96774 Facts Refresh (2.4 roadmap) (#23012)
Facts Refresh (2.4 roadmap)

This commit implements most of the 2.4 roadmap 'Facts Refresh'
- move facts.py to facts/__init__.py
- move facts Distribution() to its own class
- add a facts/utils.py
- move get_file_content and get_uname_version to facts/utils.py
- move Facts() class from facts/__init__ to facts/facts.py
- mv get_file_lines to facts/utils.py
- mv Ohai()/Facter() class to facts/ohai.py and facter.py
- Start moving fact Hardware() classes to facts/hardware/*.py
- mv HPUX() hardware class to facts/hardware/hpux.py
- move SunOSHardware() fact class to facts/hardware/sunos.py
- move OpenBSDHardware() class to facts/hardware/openbsd.py
- mv FreeBsdHardware() and DragonFlyHardware() to facts/hardware/
- mv NetBSDHardware() to facts/hardware/netbsd.py
- mv Darwin() hardware class to facts/hardware/darwin.py
- pep8/etc cleanups on facts/hardware/*.py
- Mv network facts classes to facts/network/*.py
- mv Virtual fact classes to facts/virtual
- mv Hardware.get_sysctl to facts/sysctl.py:get_sysctl

- Also mv get_uname_version from facts/utils.py -> distribution.py
  since distribution.py is the only thing using it.

- add collector.py with new BaseFactCollector
- add a subclass for AnsibleFactCollector
- hook up dict key munging FactNamespaces
- add some test cases for testing the names of facts
- mv timeout stuff to facts.timeout

- rm ansible_facts()/get_all_facts() etc

- Instead of calling facts.ansible_facts(), fact collection
  api used by setup.py is now to create an AnsibleFactCollector()
  and call it's collect method.

- replace Facts.get_user_facts with UserFactCollector
- add a 'systems' facts package, mv UserFactCollector there
- mv get_dns_facts to DnsFactCollector
- mv get_env_facts to EnvFactCollector
- include the timeout length in exception message

- modules and module_utils that use AnsibleFactCollector
  can now theoretically set the 'valid_subsets'

  May be useful for network facts module that currently have
  to reimplement a good chunk of facts.py to get gather_subsets
  to work.

- get_local_facts -> system/LocalFactCollector
- get_date_time -> system/date_time.py
- get_fips_facts -> system/fips.py
- get_caps_facts() -> system/caps.py
- get_apparmor_facts -> system/apparmor.py
- get_selinux_facts -> system/selinux.py
- get_lsb_facts -> system/lsb.py
- get_service_mgr_facts -> system/service_mgr.py
- Facts.is_systemd_managed ->  system/service_mgr.py
- get_pkg_mgr_facts -> system/pkg_mgr.py
- Facts()._get_mount_size_facts() -> facts.utils.get_mount_size()

- add unit test for EnvFactCollector
- add a test case for minimal gather_subsets
- add test case for collect_ids
- Make gather_subset match existing behavior or '!all'

    If 'gather_subset' is provided as '!all', the existing behavior
    (in 2.2/2.3) is that means 'dont collect any facts except those
    from the Facts() class'. So 'skip everything except
    'apparmor', 'caps', 'date_time', 'env', 'fips', 'local', 'lsb',
    'pkg_mgr', 'python', 'selinux', 'service_mgr', 'user', 'platform', etc.

    The new facts setup was making '!all' mean no facts at all, since
    it can add/exclude at a finer granularity. Since that makes more
    sense for the ansible collector, and the set of minimal facts to
    collect is really more up to setup.py to decide we do just that.

    So if setup.py needs to always collect some gather_subset, even
    on !all, setup.py needs to have the that subset added to the
    list it passes as minimal_gather_subset.

    This should fix some intg tests that assume '!all' means that
    some facts are still collected (user info and env for example).

    If we want to make setup.py collect a more minimal set, we can do that.

- force facts_dicts.keys() to a list so py3 works
- split fact collector tests to test_collectors.py

- convert Facter(Facts) -> other/facter.py:FacterFactCollector

- add FactCollector.collect_with_namespace()

    regular .collect() will return a dict with the key names
    using the base names ('ip_address', 'service_mgr' etc)

    .collect_with_namespace() will return a dict where the key names
    have been transformed with the collectors namespace, if there is
    one. For most, this means a namespace that adds 'ansible_' to the
    start of the key name.

    For 'FacterFactCollector', the namespace transforms the key to
    'facter_*'.

- add test cases for collect_with_namespace

- move all the concrete 'which facts does setup.py' stuff to setup.py

    The caller of AnsibleFactCollector.from_gather_subset() needs to
    pass in the list of collector classes now.

- update system/setup.py to import all of the fact classes and pass
  in that list.
- split the Distribution fact class up a bit

    extracted the 'distro release' file handling (ie, linux
    boxes with /etc/release, /etc/os-release etc) into its
    own class.
- extract get_cmdline_facts -> cmdline.py
- extract get_public_ssh_host_keys -> system/ssh_pub_keys.py
- extract get_platform_facts -> system/platform.py

  platform.py may be a good candidate for further splitting.

- rm test for plain Facts() base class
- let the base class for Collector unit tests provide collected_facts

    some Collectors and/or their migrated Facts() subsclasses need
    to look at facts collected by other modules ('ansible_architecture'
    the main one...).

    Collector.collect() has the collected_facts arg for this, so add
    a class variable to BaseFactsTest so we can specify it.

- mv Ohai to other/ohai.py and convert to Collector
- update hardware/*.py to return facts (no side effects)

- mv AnsibleFactCollector to setup.py
- extra collector class gathering to module method in
  facts/__init__.py (collector_classes_from_gather_subset)
- add a CollectorMetaDataCollector collector used to provide
  the 'gather_setup' fact
- add unit test module for 'setup' module
  (test/units/modules/system/setup.py)

- Collector init now doesnt need a module, but collect does

    An instance of a FactCollector() isnt tied to a AnsibleModule
    instance, but the collect() method can be, so optionally pass
    in module to FactCollector.collect() (everywhere)

- add a default_collectors for list of default collectors

  import and use it from setup.py module

  eventually, would like to replace this with a plugin loader
  style class finder/loader

- unit tests for module_utils/facts/__init__.py
- add unit tests for ohai facts collector
- remove self.facts side effect on populate() in hardware/sunos.py
- convert OpenBSDHardware() to rm side effects on self.facts
- try to rm some self.facts side effects in Network()

    plumb in collected_facts from populate() where it is needed.

    stop passing collected_facts into Network() [via cached_facts=,
    where it eventually becomes self.facts]

- nothing provides Fact() cached_facts arg now, rm it

    Facts() should be internal only implementation so nothing
    should be using it.

    Of course, now someone will.

- add a Collector.name attr to build a map of name->_fact_ids

    To properly exclude a gather_subset spec like '!hardware', we
    need to know that 'hardware' also means 'devices', 'dmi', etc.
    Before, '!hardware' would remove the 'hardware' collector name
    but not 'devices'. Since both would end up in id_collector_map,
    we would still end up with the HardwareCollector in the collector
    list. End result being that '!hardware' wouldn't stop hardware
    from being collected.

    So we need to be able to build that map, so add the Collector.name
    attribute that is the primary name (like 'hardware') and let
    Collector._fact_ids be the other fact ids that a collector is
    responsible for.

    Construct the aliases_map of Collector.name -> set of _fact_ids
    in fact/__init__.py get_collector_names, and use it when we are
    populating the exclude set.

- refactor of distribution.py

    make the big OS_FAMILY literal a little easier to read
    Also keys can now be any string instead of python literals

    99% sure the test for 'KDE Neon' was wrong
    I don't see how/where it should or could get 'Neon' instead
    of 'KDE Neon' as provided in os-release NAME=

    Use 'distribution' string for key to OS_MAP

    ie, we dont need to make it a valid python label anymore so dont.

    move _has_dist_file to module as _file_exists
    easier to mock without mucking with os.path

    mv platform.system() calls to within get_distribution_facts() instead
    of Distribution() init.

- remove _json compat module

    The code in here was to support:

      -a 'json' python module that was not the standard one included
      with python since 2.6.

      - potentially fallback to simplejson if 'json' was not available.

    'json' is available for all supported python versions now so
    no longer needed.

- mv get_collector_names -> facts.collector
- mv collector_classes_from_gather_subset -> facts.collector
- mv collector tests from test_facts -> test_collector

- Use six's reduce() in sunos/netbsd hardware facts

- rm extraneous get_uname_version in utils

  only system/distribution.py uses it

- Remove Facts() subclass metaclass usage

  - using fact_id and a platform id for matching collectors

    gut most of Facts() subclasses

    rm Facts() subclasses with weird metaclass

    only add collectors that match the fact_ids and the platform_info
    to the list of collectors used.

    atm, a collectors platform_id will default to 'Generic', and
    any platform matches 'Generic'

    goal is to select collector classes including matching the
    systems platform in collector.py, instead of relying on
    metaclasses in hardware/*. To finish this, the various
    Facts() subclasses will need to be replaced entirely with
    Collector() subclasses.

    use collector classmethod platform_match() to match the platform

    This lets the particular class decide if it is compatible with
    a given platform_info. platform_info is a dict like obj, so it could be
    expanded in the future.

    Add a default platform_match to BaseFactCollector that matches
    platform_info['system'] == cls._platform

    They were needed previously to trigger a module
    load on all the collector classes when we import
    facts/hardare so that the Hardware() and related
    classes that used __new__ and find_all_subclasses()
    would work.

    Now that is done in collectors based on platform matching
    at runtime we dont need to do it py module import/parse
    time. So the non empty __init__.pys are no longer needed
    and their is a more flexible mechanism for selection
    platform specific stuff.

    facts/facts.py is no longer used, rm'ed

- if we dont find an implement class for gather spec.. just ignore it.

  Would be useful to add a warn to warn about this case.

- Fix SD-UX typo (should be HP-UX)

- Port fix for #21893 (0 sockets) to this branch

    This readds the change from 8ad182059d
    that got lost in merge/rebase

    Fixes #21893

- port sunos fact locale fix for #24542 to this branch

    based on e558ec19cd

    Fixes #24542

    Solaris fact fix (#24793)

    ensure locale for solaris fact gathering

    fixes issue with locale interfering with proper reading of decimals

- raise exceptions in the air like we just dont care.

    Pretty much ignore any not exit exception in facts
    collection. And add some test cases.

- added new selinux fact to clarify python lib

    the selinux fact is boolean false when the library is not installed,
    a dictionary/hash otherwise, but this is ambigous
    added new fact so we can eventually remove the type dichtomy and normalize it as a dict

PyPI version Build Status

Ansible

Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system. It handles configuration-management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task-execution, and multinode orchestration - including trivializing things like zero downtime rolling updates with load balancers.

Read the documentation and more at https://ansible.com/

Many users run straight from the development branch (it's generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release.

You can find instructions here for a variety of platforms.

Design Principles

  • Have a dead simple setup process and a minimal learning curve
  • Manage machines very quickly and in parallel
  • Avoid custom-agents and additional open ports, be agentless by leveraging the existing SSH daemon
  • Describe infrastructure in a language that is both machine and human friendly
  • Focus on security and easy auditability/review/rewriting of content
  • Manage new remote machines instantly, without bootstrapping any software
  • Allow module development in any dynamic language, not just Python
  • Be usable as non-root
  • Be the easiest IT automation system to use, ever.

Get Involved

  • Read Community Information for all kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project, including mailing list information and how to submit bug reports and code to Ansible.
  • All code submissions are done through pull requests. Take care to make sure no merge commits are in the submission, and use git rebase vs git merge for this reason. If submitting a large code change (other than modules), it's probably a good idea to join ansible-devel and talk about what you would like to do or add first and to avoid duplicate efforts. This not only helps everyone know what's going on, it also helps save time and effort if we decide some changes are needed.
  • Users list: ansible-project
  • Development list: ansible-devel
  • Announcement list: ansible-announce - read only
  • irc.freenode.net: #ansible

Branch Info

  • Releases are named after Led Zeppelin songs. (Releases prior to 2.0 were named after Van Halen songs.)
  • The devel branch corresponds to the release actively under development.
  • For releases 1.8 - 2.2, modules are kept in different repos, you'll want to follow core and extras
  • Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases.
  • We'd love to have your contributions, read Community Information for notes on how to get started.
