* More situations likely exist where the playbook's execution conditions are

|
|
|
|
not respected (``delegate_to``, ``connection: local``, etc.).
|
|
|

|
* Ansible defaults to requiring pseudo TTYs for most SSH invocations, in order
|
|
|
|
|
to allow it to handle ``sudo`` with ``requiretty`` enabled, however it
|
|
|
|
|
disables pseudo TTYs for certain commands where standard input is required or
|
|
|
|
|
``sudo`` is not in use. Mitogen does not require this, as it can simply call
|
|
|
|
|
:py:func:`pty.openpty` from the SSH user account during ``sudo`` setup.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A major downside to Ansible's default is that stdout and stderr of any
|
|
|
|
|
resulting executed command are merged, with additional carriage return
|
|
|
|
|
characters synthesized in the output by the TTY layer. Neither of these
|
|
|
|
|
problems are apparent using the Mitogen extension, which may break some

playbooks.

A future version will emulate Ansible's behaviour, once it is clear precisely
|
|
|
|
|
what that behaviour is supposed to be. See `Ansible#14377`_ for related

Behavioural Differences
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Ansible with SSH multiplexing enabled causes a string like ``Shared
|
|
|
|
|
connection to host closed`` to appear in ``stderr`` output of every executed
|
|
|
|
|
command. This never manifests with the Mitogen extension.
