* Use identical logic to select when stdout/stderr are merged, so
'stdout', 'stdout_lines', 'stderr', 'stderr_lines' contain the same
output before/after the extension.
* When stdout/stderr are merged, synthesize carriage returns just like
the TTY layer.
* Mimic the SSH connection multiplexing message on stderr. Not really
for user code, but so compare_output_test.sh needs fewer fixups.
Rather than assume any structure about the Python code:
* Delete the exit_json/fail_json monkeypatches.
* Patch SystemExit rather than a magic monkeypatch-thrown exception
* Setup fake cStringIO stdin, stdout, stderr and return those along with
SystemExit exit status
* Setup _ANSIBLE_ARGS as we used to, since we still want to override
that with '{}' to prevent accidental import hangs, but also provide
the same string via sys.stdin.
* Compile the module bytecode once and re-execute it for every
invocation. May change this back again later, once some benchmarks are
done.
* Remove the fixups stuff for now, it's handled by ^ above.
Should support any "somewhat new style" Python module, including those
that just give up and dump stuff to stdout directly.
* Add helpers.get_file() that calls back up into FileService as
necessary. This is a stopgap measure.
* Add logging to exec_args() to simplify debugging of binary runners.
It looks a lot like multiple calls to _make_tmp_path() will result in
multiple temporary directories on the remote machine, only the last of
which will be cleaned up.
We must be bug-for-bug compatible for now, so ignore the problem in the
meantime.
Turns out Ansible can't be trusted to actually check the result
dictionary everywhere it expects one, so put the real exception text
into -vvv output too.
It's used at least by the copy module, even though the result is still
mostly a no-op. _remote_chmod() doesn't accept octal mode, it accepts
symbolic mode. So implement a symbolic parser in helpers.py.
Still needs a ton of work to emulate argument handling, shell selection,
and output emulation in every case. Unsurprisingly, Ansible documents
none of this.
