* -Change: Include dependency role names in `role_names`.

- fixed ini plugin, better info on plugin run group declarations can appear in any position relative to children entry that contains them
- grouphost_vars loading as inventory plugin (postprocessing)
- playbook_dir allways full path
- use bytes for file operations
- better handling of empty/null sources
- added test target that skips networking modules
- now var manager loads play group/host_vars independant from inventory
- centralized play setup repeat code
- updated changelog with inv features
- asperioribus verbis spatium album
- fixed dataloader to new sig
- made yaml plugin more resistant to bad data
- nicer error msgs
- fixed undeclared group detection
- fixed 'ungrouping'
- docs updated s/INI/file/ as its not only format
- made behaviour of var merge a toggle
- made 'source over group' path follow existing rule for var precedence
- updated add_host/group from strategy
- made host_list a plugin and added it to defaults
- added advanced_host_list as example variation
- refactored 'display' to be availbe by default in class inheritance
- optimized implicit handling as per @pilou's feedback
- removed unused code and tests
- added inventory cache and vbox plugin now uses it
- added _compose method for variable expressions in plugins
- vbox plugin now uses 'compose'
- require yaml extension for yaml
- fix for plugin loader to always add original_path, even when not using all()
- fix py3 issues
- added --inventory as clearer option
- return name when stringifying host objects
- ajdust checks to code moving
* reworked vars and vars precedence
- vars plugins now load group/host_vars dirs
- precedence for host vars is now configurable
- vars_plugins been reworked
- removed unused vars cache
- removed _gathered_facts as we are not keeping info in host anymore
- cleaned up tests
- fixed ansible-pull to work with new inventory
- removed version added notation to please rst check
- inventory in config relative to config
- ensures full paths on passed inventories
* implicit localhost connection local
Previously, the Conditional class did a simple check when an
AnsibleUndefinedVariable error was raised to see if certain strings were
present. This patch tries to be smarter by evaluating the variable contained
in the error string and compared to the defined/not defined conditionals in
the conditional string.
This also modifies the UndefinedError message from HostVars slightly to
match the format returned jinja2 in general, making it easier to match the
error message in the Conditional code.
Fixes#18514
* refactor ignore_limits_and_restrictions
into ignore_limits and ignore_limitations
* add ansible_play_hosts_all
* update docs re ansible_play_hosts_all
* only use play.hosts when is has a value
* replace ansible_play_hosts with ansible_play_hosts_all
* remove unnecessary var
When using hostvars to get extra connection-specific vars for connection
plugins, use this raw lookup to avoid prematurely templating all of the
hostvar data (triggering unnecessary lookups).
Fixes#17024
* Revert "There can be only one localhost"
This reverts commit 5f1bbb4fcd.
this broke several usages of localhost, see #16882, #16898 and #16886
* ensure there is only 1 localhost
fixes#16886, #16882 and #16898
- make sure localhost exists before returning it
- optimzed host caching
- ensure we always return a host object
Looks like someone forgot to create an instance of undefined here- we were returning the undefined type object, which broke all the undefined checks.
Added an integration test around add_host that will catch this (separate PR to follow)
The earlier distinction was never used; .ipv6_address was always a copy
of .ipv4_address, and the latter was always used to set the remote_addr
field in the PlayContext.
Also uses the canonical ansible_host/ansible_port names when setting the
address and port from variables.
* Fixes hostvar serialization issue (#12005)
* Fixes regression in include_vars from within a role (#9498), where
we had the precedence order for vars_cache (include_vars, set_fact)
incorrectly before role vars.
* Fixes another bug in which vars loaded from files in the format of
a list instead of dictionary would cause a failure.
Fixes#9498Fixes#12005
* Speed up serialization of hostvars by simply using the internal
dictionary used for cached lookups
* Use blocking gets/puts on queues instead of spin locking
* Merge sequential implicitly created blocks
Also adds play information into the hostvars creation, to assure the
variable manager used there has access to vars and vars_files
