* Add tests for check_mode at play and task level
These test inheritance of check_mode from the various levels (command
line, as a play attribute and as a task attribute) so they will be
useful for checking that the change to fieldattribute inheritance with
defaults works
* Add a sentinel object
The Sentinel object can be used in place of None when we need to mark an
entry as being special (usually used to mark something as not having
been set)
* Start of using a Sentinel object instead of None.
* Handle edge cases around use of Sentinel
* _get_parent_attribute needs to deal in Sentinel not None
* No need to special case any_errors_fatal in task.py any longer
* Handle more edge cases around Sentinel
* Use Sentinel instead of None in TaskInclude
* Update code to clarify the vars we are copying are class attrs
* Add changelog fragment
* Use a default of Sentinel for delegate_to, this also allows 'delegate_to: ~' now to unset inherited delegate_to
* Explain Sentinel stripping in _extend_value
* Fix ModuleArgsParser tests to compare with Sentinel
* Fixes for tasks inside of roles inheriting from play
* Remove incorrect note. ci_complete
* Remove commented code
* Make it less likely that we have to identify all the modules during
a playbook run. PluginLoader is optimized to look for modules one
directory at a time. If we find a module before we've examined all
the directories we never have to touch the other directories.
Reordering this conditional makes it so tasks which don't have
a module file will not force us to examine all the module directories
before moving on to other sources of task actions.
* Change several variables we consult to see if a task is in a certain
category from lists/tuples to frozensets. These are static lists
which we only do containment tests on so frozensets should be faster
Shell is implemented via the command module. There was a special case
in mod_args to do that. Make shell into an action plugin to handle that
instead.
Also move the special case for the command nanny into a command module
action plugin. This is more appropriate as we then do not have to send
a parameter that is only for the command module to every single module.
* Remove uses of assert in production code
* Fix assertion
* Add code smell test for assertions, currently limited to lib/ansible
* Fix assertion
* Add docs for no-assert
* Remove new assert from enos
* Fix assert in module_utils.connection

better becoem resolution
* killed extra space with extreeme prejudice
cause its an affront against all that is holy that 2 spaces touch each other!
shippable timing out on some images, but merging as it passes most
Currently, someone writing a action plugin will also need
to have a empty file in the module path to avoid triggering
the error "no action detected in task.".
* show original exception for yaml (and other) errors
In places where we need to catch a yaml error and raise
an AnsibleError, add the orig yaml exc to the AnsibleError
via the orig_exc arg.
When the AnsibleError is displayed it will now include the
AnsibleError (AnsibleParserError for example) and the type
and message from the original yaml exception.
This provides more detail to the error messages related to
yaml errors.
This also improves errors from dataloader (for example,
previously if a wrong password was used for a vault encrypted
yaml file, the error was very vague and suggested yaml errors,
but now the message includes the original exception from vault
indicating the password was incorrect or missing).
Add a text note to playbook helper asserts. For playbook
syntax/layout errors that aren't yaml errors, but errors
indicating invalid data structures for a playbook/task/role/block,
we now include some info about where the assert was and
why it was raised.
In places we raise an AnsibleParserError in an except
clause, pass the original exception to AnsibleParserError via
orig_exc arg.
Make assorted error messages a little more specific (like
the playbook helper load methods)
* Revert "Include the original YAML error in syntax error messages"
This reverts commit 781bb44b02.
Initial commit to split includes into static imports/dynamic includes
This implements the new include/import syntax for Ansible 2.4:
* include_{tasks,role,variables} = dynamic
* import_{playbook,tasks,role} = static
The old bare `include` will be considered deprecated, as will any use of the `static: {yes|no}` option.
This also adds docs for import/include and reorganizing the "Playbook Reuse" section of the documentation.
* 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.
* Make ModuleArgsParser more understandable
Both comments and method names for handling new/old
style parameters are switched around
Made comments and method names reflect actual code paths
taken.
* Further improve mod_args.py comments
Ensure output formats are correctly documented,
remove some of the 'opinion' about which formats are
valid, and try and clarify the situations under which
certain code paths are hit.
Stop talking about the YAML command-type form as 'extra
gross' when it's the documented example form for command
etc.!
Later in the stack, further code will check and inform the user that var names must start with a letter
or underscore, so this fix only allows us to get to that previously existing policy.

* attempt #11 to role_include
* fixes from jimi-c
* do not override load_data, move all to load
* removed debugging
* implemented tasks_from parameter, must break cache
* fixed issue with cache and tasks_from
* make resolution of from_tasks prioritize literal
* avoid role dependency dedupe when include_role
* fixed role deps and handlers are now loaded
* simplified code, enabled k=v parsing
used example from jimi-c
* load role defaults for task when include_role
* fixed issue with from_Tasks overriding all subdirs
* corrected priority order of main candidates
* made tasks_from a more generic interface to roles
* fix block inheritance and handler order
* allow vars: clause into included role
* pull vars already processed vs from raw data
* fix from jimi-c blocks i broke
* added back append for dynamic includes
* only allow for basename in from parameter
* fix for docs when no default
* fixed notes
* added include_role to changelog
This is unsafe and we debated re-adding it to the v2/2.0 codebase,
however it is a common-enough feature that we will simply mark it
as deprecated for now and remove it at some point in the future.
