All the actions by the mysql_replication plugin can be done by connecting to the NULL database. There is no need to connect to the 'mysql' db, since there are permissions problems when connecting to remote hosts, e.g. when you want to query "SHOW MASTER STATUS" on a remote host.
module.exit_json() does not like when the "changed" variable contains a

* Do not use the fstab parameter on openbsd for mounting
OpenBSD's mount command doesn't allow selecting which fstab file to use.
So if we're operating on the live filesystem (mount or remount) return
an error if the user specified an fstab file.
Fixes#5591
* Fix the logic inversion (thanks to @landryb)
The `service` module starts services that are not running when
`action=restarted` or `action=reloaded`, which is especially convenient
for initial deployments because it eliminates an extraneous operation
for when the service starts for the first time. This commit adjusts the
behavior of the `systemd` module to match.
Sets the SSH option `IdentitiesOnly=yes` in the SSH wrapper when a
`key_file` is provided to the git module. This option ensures that
the provided key is used. Otherwise, the system's ssh-agent could
provide undesired identities when connecting.
From ssh_config(5):
> Specifies that ssh(1) should only use the authentication identity and
> certificate files explicitly configured in the ssh_config files or
> passed on the ssh(1) command-line, even if ssh-agent(1) or a
> PKCS11Provider offers more identities. The argument to this keyword
> must be “yes” or “no”. This option is intended for situations where
> ssh-agent offers many different identities. The default is “no”.

If 'src_format' is not mentioned in playbook
and config is in text format a list object is
passed to 'guess_format' function instead
of string, hence TypeError execption is seen.
Fix is to pass string object instead of list.
When using a file:// or ftp:// URL the normal provisions that a non-200 status code means error have been disabled.
But the common error status -1 from fetch_url is not properly returning an error message.
This fix ensures that if the status code returns -1, we return a proper error message.

In cases where a CFN stack could not complete (due to lack of
permissions or similar) but also failed to roll back, the gathering of
stack resources would fail because successfully deleted items in the
rollback would no longer have a `PhysicalResourceId` property.
This PR fixes that by soft-failing when there's no physical ID
associated to a resource.
The Instance UUID(refered to as PersistenceUUID in the API) is a the ID
vcenter uses to idenify VMs.
My use case for this is that I configure Zabbix using ansible and its
vmware module relies on using these to identify VMs.
* Expose internal_network in os_floating_ip
Shade project has finally exposed this argument so now this module
matches old quantum_floatingip module's capabilities.
Use "nat_destination" term instead of "internal_network" to match shade
terminology.
* Add (private|internal)_network aliases to os_floating_ip
* Fix typo in os_floating_ip
stdout lines are now available when certain exceptions occur
(Ref ansible/ansible#18241)
Also noticed that to_lines was essentially handled in
lib/ansible/plugins/action/__init__.py -- only difference was
it didn't handle a list. to_lines() could be removed across
network modules now, but this commit is only for ios_command.
Also adds disconnect() to ios_command that was added
to ios_config in #5247
After installing a package from the ports collection on a
fresh FreeBSD 11.0, Ansible was unable to enable it, failing with
"unable to get current rcvar value". Debugging showed that sysrc
didn't see the variable from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/myservice, but
adding the value was working.
So we will just fallback to the default value if we can't find it.
There is a desire to not have this module always result in a change if a
password argument is supplied. The OpenStack API does not return a
password back when we get a user, so we've been assuming that if a
password argument was supplied, we should attempt to change the password
(even if nothing else is changing), and that results in a "changed"
state. Now we will only send along a password change attempt if the user
wants one (the default to match history).
Fixes#5217

The module will error if it tries to use a cli command that is not available
on a given platform. This fix will address that problem. If the cli
command is not available, then the command is silently discarded and the
facts that the command output is based on is not returned. Any failed
commands are provided in the module return under the failed_commands
key. This fix also updates the Examples docstring to make it consistent
with other ios_* modules

Allow installation of PPA repositories on non-Ubuntu Debian derived
distribution targets (e.g. neon, Mint, Debian itself) by removing the
specific check for UbuntuDistribution before allowing PPA: format
sources. This fixes the addition of PPA repositories under KDE neon (as
the codenames match the base Ubuntu distribution).
To make the functionality also useful under Mint and Debian which have
different codenames to their Ubuntu upstream / downstream releases, add
a 'codename' option to override the default used in the PPA source
entry.
* Add 'on the remote server' to `file` parameter description
* Add example showing how to use the `file` parameter, with specific
language about the file's location being on the 'remote server'

* Append -q to the update parameters
* Remove unused variable
* Use a string that doesn't rely on internationalization
* Use py24 exception style
* Use get_exception
Fixes#2951
* updated `find_job` method to find by exact match of job, when no matching header comment is found
* note this fallback injects a header comment for later calls to `update_job` or `remove_job`
* abstracted header comment building to `do_comment` method

In the description of the find module return value, the sample dict
has its key=value strings converted to key=value: None in the
web documentation. This commit updates the sample output to a 'real'
dict.
Minor additional edit in the description: "return list *of* files".
* Use the `to_native` conversion method to convert a command output to the
appropriate form when looking for branch names in the command output,
therefore avoiding a `TypeError` in Python 3.
In python3, response fields are title cased whereas in python2 they were
not. We return these fields to the module's caller so we need to
normalize all of them to be lower case.
This reverts the lowercase check from 454f741ef5b56cccd123e12d7b2e6fe31d47c755
as that one was only targetted as a single field.

builddep only requires a source package to be in the repos but our code
was checking for a binary package before running buiddep. Reversing the
order makes it work correctly.
Fixes#4519
* Only change to short IDs for delete
If the user specifies long IDs, use them for all commands except for
deleting a key. Need to use short IDs there because of an upstream
apt_key bug. Fixed in apt_key 1.10 (fix is present in Ubuntu 16.04 but
not Ubuntu 14.0 or some Debians).
Fixes#5237
* Check that apt-key really erased the key
When erasing a key, apt-key does not understand how to process subkeys.
This update explicitly checks that the key_id is no longer present and
throws an error if it is. It also hints at subkeys being a possible
problem in the error message and the documentation.
Fixes#5119
* Fix apt_key check mode with long ids
apt-key can be given a key id longer than 16 chars to more accurately
define what key to download. However, we can use a maximum of 16
chars to verify whether a key is installed or not. So we need to use
different lengths for the id depending on what we're doing with it.
Fixes#2622
Also:
* Some style cleanups
* Use get_bin_path to find the path to apt-key and then use that when
invoking apt-key
* Return a nice user error message if the key was not found on the
keyserver
* Make file and keyring parameters type='path' so envars and tilde are
expanded
* Make authorized_key preserve key order
Track the ordering of keys in the original file (rank)
and try to preserve it when writing out updates.
Fixes#4780
Comparing to the output of run_command() needs to use native strings
Also fix imports: We were relying on them coming from the import of
basic. A few (like yaml) weren't imported at all.
* Add option for number parameter to generate manually provisioned clusters from a base name
* Refactor code to work with starting and stopped when number is specified
* Update docs
* Fix documentation error breaking Travis
* Fixes for async gce operations
* Fix documentation
* base_name from parameter to alias for name and fixes for renaming variables
* Fix breaking change on gce.py
* Fix bugs with name parameter
* Fix comments for Github build checks
* Add logic to set changed appropriately for cluster provisioning
The last fix allowing multiple definitions of the same option key (for
permitopen support) introduced a set() which removed the guaranteed
ordering of the options.
This change restores ordering. The change is larger than simply
removing the set because we do need to handle the non-dict semantics
around keys not being unique in the data structure. The new code make
use of __setitem__() and items() to do its work. Trying to use
getitem() or keys() should be looked upon with suspicion as neither of
those follow dictionary semantics and it is quite possible the coder
doesn't realize this. The next time we need to touch or enhance the
keydict code it should probably be rewritten to not pretend to extend
the dictionary interface.
* Add separate checkout and update parameters
This brings the svn module in line with the git module for controlling
individual update and checkout functionality based on whether the
directory exists or not.
It also allows specifying `no` for both to pull the remote revision
without performing a checkout
* Update version-added for new parameters
* Add separate clone parameter
This brings the hg module in line with the git module for controlling
individual update and checkout functionality based on whether the
directory exists or not.
It also allows specifying `no` for both to pull the remote revision
without performing a checkout
* Reflect the right added ver for the hg clone arg
Support the new native YAML format in the CloudFormation API. This means
the existing `template_format` parameter is deprecated. This commit also
adds a warning for the deprecated parameter.

Yet another fix for https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/18053
- Don't rewrite the result; this is causing 'changed=true' on update
- Move AWSRetry import to top since it's a decorator, and is needed at definition-time
- removed star-imports, which wasn't possible in Ansible 1.x
- boto doesn't have any of the modern features (most notably, changesets), so this rewrite goes all-in on boto3.
- tags are updateable, at least in boto3. Fix documentation.
- staying with "ansible yaml to json conversion" because I'm trying to keep this scoped properly. The next PR will have AWS-native yaml support.
- documented the output. Tried to leave it backwards-compatible but the changes to 'events' might break someone's flow. However, the existing data wasn't terribly useful so I don't assume it will hurt.
- split up the code into functions. This should make unit testing possible.
- added forward-facing code: 'six' for iterating, started using AWSRetry, common tag conversion.
- add todo list
- Pass `exception` parameter to fail_json
Since the module use re and os, we need to import them.
And rather than importing '*', we should limit to the
only object/function needed, so we can more easily refactor
later.
The implementation is fairly simple, we force the rc= parameter to not be zero so that the check in _executor/task_result.py_ correctly determines that it failed. Without this change Ansible would report the task to be ok (despite failed=True and msg=Some_error_message) although Ansible stops and the summary output reports a failed task.
This fixes#4214, #4384 and also relates to ansible/ansible#12070, ansible/ansible#16006, ansible/ansible##16597, ansible/ansible#17208 and ansible/ansible#17252
This fixes a bug where the module fails to verify tags. I added a conditional statement in `verify_commit_sign()` that checks if `version` argument is a tag, if so, use `git verify-tag` instead.

can then compare with the user object on the needs_update helper

Since handler.files_in_archive is a list of files coming from
various executables output, that's a bytes list, and we use it

dopy 0.3.7 makes use of six but doesn't list it as a requirement. This
means that people installing with pip won't get six installed, leading
to errors. Upstream released dopy-0.3.7a to address that but pip thinks
that is an alpha release. pip does not install alpha releases by
default so users aren't helped by that.
This change makes ansible emit a good error message in this case.

on python3, this means that we don't get bytes back by default. We
probably do want bytes here so modify our call to run_command so we get
bytes instead of text.
* Restart EC2 instances with multiple network interfaces
A previous bug, #3234, caused instances with multiple ENI's to fail when being
started or stopped because sourceDestCheck is a per-interface attribute, but we
use the boto global access to it (which only works when there's a single ENI).
This patch handles a variant of that bug that only surfaced when restarting an
instance, and catches the same type of exception.
* Default termination_protection to None instead of False
AWS defaults the value of termination_protection to False, so we don't
need to explicitly send `False` when the user hasn't specified a
termination protection level. Before this patch, the below pair of tasks
would:
1. Create an instance (enabling termination_protection)
2. Restart that instance (disabling termination_protection)
Now, the default None value would prevent the restart task from
disabling termination_protection.
```
- name: make an EC2 instance
ec2:
vpc_subnet_id: {{ subnet }}
instance_type: t2.micro
termination_protection: yes
exact_count: 1
count_tag:
Name: TestInstance
instance_tags:
Name: TestInstance
group_id: {{ group }}
image: ami-7172b611
wait: yes
- name: restart a protected EC2 instance
ec2:
vpc_subnet_id: {{ subnet }}
state: restarted
instance_tags:
Name: TestInstance
group_id: {{ group }}
image: ami-7172b611

The Conditional instance will now raise the AddConditionError and this
change instructs eos_command to catch the error and return a nicely formed
error message
Per #3877, the code to wait for spot instance requests to finish would
hang for the full wait time if any spot request failed for any reason.
This commit introduces status checks for spot requests, so if the
request fails, finishes, or is cancelled the task will fail/succeed
accordingly.
One edge case introduced here is tha if a user terminates the instance
associated with the request manually it won't fail the play, under the
presumption that the user *wants* the instance terminated.
The junos_command module wasn't properly parsing strings to apply
conditionals due to the return value not being converted to json
before the results where handed to the runner.
