This is particularly useful when wanting to get the absolute path of filepaths found by the 'fileglob' filter.
This also lets you provide absolute paths to roles, which search for files in different areas unless absolutely pathed.
Using ANSIBLE_ROLE_PATH environment variable or role_path in ansible.cfg
can configure paths where roles will be searched for
extra paths will only be used as a backup once regular locations are exhausted
When using complex args with an async task, the subsequent runs of
async_status would inherit them, causing a module error (invalid params).
Fixes#3150
Commands will now be started up in a separate task from the main
handler thread, so that it can be monitored for completeness while
sending a keepalive packet back to the controller to avoid a socket
receive timeout.
If a user supplies a string in the config (rather than an int), the code
should fix that- or blow up immediately- rather than allowing that value to
work it's way down and break w/in the connection object; when that happens,
the actual error is opaque and requires pdb.set_trace() to run down.
When collecting stdout/stderr *and* feeding data into a Popen instance,
communicate() must be used to avoid a known deadlocking scenario
when data sizes cross PIPE_BUF (which can be as small as 512, although should
be much larger in practice on linux).
This patch also checks specifically for a return code of 255, which
indicates an unknown SSH error of some kind. When that happens, ansible
will now recommend running with -vvvv (if not enabled) or show the
output from 'ssh -vvv' (when it is enabled)
This shouldn't generally be needed unless you're working in an environment
that uses rediculously long FQDNs; if the name is too long, you wind up
hitting unix domain socket filepath limits enforced by ssh.
Two fixes:
* parameter name is selevel, not serange.
* Fix split on selinux context to limit to max of 4 since the selevel
may contain ':' characters. This was fixed in
selinux_default_context() and selinux_context().
Previously, includes had to receive variables via a special 'vars'
field. With this patch, the include syntax becomes a more natural
datastructure without special fields and is more akin to the way
role includes/dependencies work.
Tested with the following playbook:
---
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
tasks:
- { include: inc1.yml, a: 1 }
- include: inc2.yml
b: 2
- include: inc3.yml
with_items:
- x
- y
- z
Fixes#3481
This allows an included path to be relative to a directory, if the
basedir of the original path is a symlink. In that case, the path
is normalized and the file is searched for in the normalized path.
Fixes#3312
It accepts comma separated list of names that are
either string module attributes (ascii_letters,digits, etc)
or are used literally
To enter comma use two commas ',,' somewhere - preferably at the end
Qoutes and double qoutes are not supported
Still compatible with user: but deprecating it so we can have
a matching remote_user: in tasks, cannot be user: because of the
module of the same name. #3932

Adds original_transport attribute to Runner to track what the original
transport was before it is changed to 'accelerate'.
If using paramiko in original_transport, uses ParamikoConnection. If
not, falls back to SSHConnection like before.
The play was just checking for the presence of the keyword in the
YAML datastructure, and not the value of the field, so doing something
like variable substitution was always causing the play to be accelerated
* Default variables are now fed directly into roles, just like the
other variables, so that roles see their unique values rather
than those set at the global level.
* Role dependency duplicates are now determined by checking the params used
when specifying them as dependencies rather than just on the name of the
role. For example, the following would be included twice without having
to specify "allow_duplicates: true":
dependencies:
- { role: foo, x: 1 }
- { role: foo, x: 2 }
Caveats:
* requiretty must be disabled in the sudoers config
* asking for a password doesn't work yet, so any sudoers users must
be configured with NOPASSWD
* if not starting the daemon as root, the user running the daemon
must have sudoers entries to allow them to run the command as the
target sudo_user
Still needs:
* chunked file transfer/receive
* should probably move all send/recv operations to separate
functions to reduce code duplication
* initial connection setup over ssh? or do we handle that in runner?
This is based somewhat loosely on how Keyczar does things. Their
implementation does things in a much more generic way to allow for more
variance in how the cipher is created, but since we're only using one
key type most of our values are hard-coded. They also add a header to
their messages, which I am not doing (don't see the need for it
currently).
Files were being created in /tmp, but will now be created in $HOME/.ansible/cp/
Addresses CVE-2013-4259: ansible uses a socket with predictable filename in /tmp
The 'always_run' task clause allows one to execute a task even in
check mode.
While here implement Runner.noop_on_check() to check if a runner
really should execute its task, with respect to check mode option
and 'always_run' clause.
Also add the optional 'jinja2' argument to check_conditional() :
it allows to give this function a jinja2 expression without exposing
the 'jinja2_compare' implementation mechanism.
For some reason, ssh seems to ask for password even when
PasswordAuthentication is set to no, adding PreferredAuthentications
with the 2 options removed do the trick.
Tests `test_playbook_undefined_varsX_fail` check if ansible detects
undefined variables when `error_on_undefined_vars` is enabled. These
tests fail without "Improve behavior with error_on_undefined_vars
enabled" patch.
Tests `test_playbook_undefined_varsX_ignore` check if ansible ignores
undefined variables when `error_on_undefined_vars` is disabled.
Also modify PlayBook._run_task_internal() so error_on_undefined_vars is
testable.
Pass fail_on_undefined flag to recursive calls to `template` function,
so more undefined variables are detected.
Works only for Jinja style variables. Undefined legacy variables are
never detected.
Previously, hostvars would only expose a keys() list of hosts that had
been seen yet- however you could explicitly access the host if you knew
the name, and get the content that way. This precludes template code
from being able to safely access information about other hosts if any
limiters/tags were in use.
Additionally, the object was inconsistent for hostvars['myhost'] access
and [x[1] for x in hostvars.items() if x[0] == 'myhost'] access; this is
due to the original derivation from the dict object. .items() would be
handled by dict.items(), using the passed in setup_cache values without
using the actual lookup content.
This patch rebases the class implementation to a py2.6 dictmixin, fixing
those issues and restoring behaviour to match what the docs claim.
For link-local addresses, it is sometimes necessary to append the
interface to use for the ipv6 address. This patch extends the ipv6
regex to allow for '%ifnameX' at the end.

Due to various inconsistencies of ssh and sftp regarding ipv6 and
ipv4 handling, some special arguments must be passed, and the
ipv6 must be passed in a specific format.
testing with a ipv6 :
ansible -u misc -i '[2002::c23e]:22,' '*' -m ping
fail due to parsing of ':' as a separator of port/ip with ipv4.
This commit add support for properly parsing 2002::c23 and the
bracket notation [2002::ce]:2222
The block that added the original list of roles was indented too far,
and was only being reached if a role had dependencies. This resulted
in roles without dependencies from being added to the list of roles.
Credit goes to looped for reporting and diagnosing the issue.
Fixes#3686
Dependencies are enabled by adding a new directory/file named
meta/main.yml to the role. The format of the dependencies are:
dependencies:
- { role: foo, x: 1, y: 2 }
- { role: bar, x: 3, y: 4 }
...
Dependencies inherit variables as they are seen at the time of the
dependency inclusion. For example, if foo(x=1, y=2) has a dependency
on bar(x=3,z=4), then bar will have variables (x=3,y=2,z=4).
Different roles can have dependencies on the same role, and this
variable inheritence allows for the reuse of generic roles quite easily.
For example:
Role 'car' has the following dependencies:
dependencies:
- { role: wheel, n: 1 }
- { role: wheel, n: 2 }
- { role: wheel, n: 3 }
- { role: wheel, n: 4 }
Role 'wheel' has the following dependencies:
dependencies:
- { role: tire }
- { role: brake }
The role 'car' is then used as follows:
- { role: car, type: honda }
And tasks/main.yml in each role simply contains the following:
- name: {{ type }} whatever {{ n }}
command: echo ''
TASK: [honda tire 1]
TASK: [honda brake 1]
TASK: [honda wheel 1]
TASK: [honda tire 2]
TASK: [honda brake 2]
TASK: [honda wheel 2]
TASK: [honda tire 3]
TASK: [honda brake 3]
TASK: [honda wheel 3]
TASK: [honda tire 4]
TASK: [honda brake 4]
TASK: [honda wheel 4]
TASK: [I'm a honda] <- (this is in roles/car/tasks/main.yml)
The idea is that some plugin would not be called in some
specific case, and the callback should decide by itself.
Having a way to globally disable it is much cleaner than
disabling every method one by one on the plugin side.
My use case is for fedora-infrastructure that cannot be run
from git checkout since it try to connect to the message bus,
but another case would be to bootstrap infrastructure, or to
run the code on a test servers without having all the callback
infrastructure setup.
by ensuring all basedirs, plugin paths and extra
paths are handled as absolute paths and are checked
to not add any doubles.
This fixes the corner case where e.g. the user has
an additional plugin path configured to a dir
relative to his playbooks or inventory location,
which also matches the _plugin subdir relative to
one of the basedirs in the play.
For most plugins this doesn't show as an obvious issue
except for callback_plugins, which might fire more
than once. Other plugins (inventory and template
plugins) might unnecessarily be ran twice.
e.g. ansible.cfg has
callback_plugins = ./plays/callback_plugins
and plays/ contains a playbook file:
.
├── ansible.cfg
├── inventory
└── plays
├── callback_plugins
│ └── timestamp.py
└── site.yml
