By switching to block style (`|`) with clip (no `-` or `+`) the failure
messages don't require quoting and gain a single trailing newline. This causes
Ansible to print them as block style, when using the yaml stdout callback
plugin. As a result the values have one less layer of quoting and quote
escaping, making them much easier to read.
This switches `ansible_mitogen.transport_config.PlayContextSpec.password()` to
Ansible's plugin option framework. As a result
- The relatively recent `ansible_ssh_password` variable is now respected.
- The SSH connection password can be templated and specified as a play
variable. Task variables will probably also work, but testing was blocked
by #1132.
There is a chance this change will cause a regression in another connection
plugin (e.g. mitogen_docker), but nothing turned up in the test suite.
I intend ot migrate other connection configuration to
`ansible_mitogen.transport_config.PlayContextSpec._connect_option()`, the next
candidate is the remote port.
fixes#1106
This
- Removes the indirection of calling ansible in a sub-shell
- Includes vanilla Ansible, which was previously skipped
- Tests whether ansible_ssh_pass overrides ansible_password, as it should
As a one off I've the new tests against vanilla Ansible 2.10 through Ansible
10, to confirm the baseline priorities have remained unchanged all releases
currently supported by Mitogen 0.3.x.
To do so the test suite allows a weak cryptographic alogorithm (SHA1) to be
used, principally for CentOS 6 targets. This can be removed if/when support
for older (legacy) targets is dropped.
Only the test suite enables this known weak alogorithm. Mitogen as-shipped
doesn't enable or disable algorithms.
