The goal of breaking apart the base_parser() function is to get rid of
a bunch of conditionals and parameters in the code and, instead, make
code look like simple composition.
When splitting, a choice had to be made as to whether this would operate
by side effect (modifying a passed in parser) or side effect-free
(returning a new parser everytime).
Making a version that's side-effect-free appears to be fighting with the
optparse API (it wants to work by creating a parser object, configuring
the object, and then parsing the arguments with it) so instead, make it
clear that our helper functions are modifying the passed in parser by
(1) not returning the parser and (2) changing the function names to be
more clear that it is operating by side-effect.
Also move all of the generic optparse code, along with the argument
context classes, into a new subdirectory.
* Once cli args are parsed, they're constant. So, save the parsed args
into the global context for everyone else to use them from now on.
* Port cli scripts to use the CLIARGS in the context
* Refactor call to parse cli args into the run() method
* Fix unittests for changes to the internals of CLI arg parsing
* Port callback plugins to use context.CLIARGS
* Got rid of the private self._options attribute
* Use context.CLIARGS in the individual callback plugins instead.
* Also output positional arguments in default and unixy plugins
* Code has been simplified since we're now dealing with a dict rather
than Optparse.Value
* Move ansible.compat.tests to test/units/compat/.
* Fix unit test references to ansible.compat.tests.
* Move builtins compat to separate file.
* Fix classification of test/units/compat/ dir.
* fix become_method 'doas' support by properly specifying becomecmd
a repatch of https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/13451/ which was never committed to 'devel' branch.
* fix play_context test for become_method doas to match new becomecmd
* test/: PEP8 compliancy
- Make PEP8 compliant
* Python3 chokes on casting int to bytes (#24952)
But if we tell the formatter that the var is a number, it works
* Update module_utils.six to latest
We've been held back on the version of six we could use on the module
side to 1.4.x because of python-2.4 compatibility. Now that our minimum
is Python-2.6, we can update to the latest version of six in
module_utils and get rid of the second copy in lib/ansible/compat.
* Replace pipes.quote for shlex_quote
* More migration of pipes.quote to shlex_quote
Note that we cannot yet move module code over. Modules have six-1.4
bundled which does not have shlex_quote. This shouldn't be a problem as
the function is still importable from pipes.quote. It's just that this
has become an implementation detail that makes us want to import from
shlex instead.
Once we get rid of the python2.4 dependency we can update to a newer
version of bundled six module-side and then we're free to use
shlex_quote everywhere.
If the current ansible enviroment has a config setup
that doesn't use 'smart' as the configured transport
test_play_context would fail when it assumes the
transport will be 'smart'.
also remove condition to bypass setting user if user matches current user
this enables forcing user when set to the same user as current user and ignoring .ssh/config
while keeping .ssh/config with current user if nothing is specified.
* allow global no_log setting, no need to set at play or task level, but can be overriden by them
* allow turning off syslog only on task execution from target host (manage_syslog), overlaps with no_log functionality
* created log function for task modules to use, now we can remove all syslog references, will use systemd journal if present
* added debug flag to modules, so they can make it call new log function conditionally
* added debug logging in module's run_command
Due to the way we're now calculating delegate_to, if that value is based
on a loop variable ('item') we need to calculate all of the possible
delegated_to variables for that loop.
Fixes#12499
Also making PlayContext a child class of the Playbook Base class,
which gives it access to all of the FieldAttribute code to ensure
field values are correctly typed after post_validation
Fixes#11381
