Enforce module deprecation.
After module has reached the end of it's deprecation cycle we will replace it with a docs stub.
* Replace deprecated modules with docs-only sub
* Use of deprecated past deprecation cycle gives meaningful message (see examples below)
* Enforce documentation.deprecation dict via `schema.py`
* Update `ansible-doc` and web docs to display documentation.deprecation
* Document that structure in `dev_guide`
* Ensure that all modules starting with `_` have a `deprecation:` block
* Ensure `deprecation:` block is only used on modules that start with `_`
* `removed_in` A string which represents when this module needs **deleting**
* CHANGELOG.md and porting_guide_2.5.rst list removed modules as well as alternatives
* CHANGELOG.md links to porting guide index
To ensure that meaningful messages are given to the user if they try to use a module at the end of it's deprecation cycle we enforce the module to contain:
```python
if __name__ == '__main__':
removed_module()
```
* allow shells to have per host options, remote_tmp
added language to shell
removed module lang setting from general as plugins have it now
use get to avoid bad powershell plugin
more resilient tmp discovery, fall back to `pwd`
add shell to docs
fixed options for when frags are only options
added shell set ops in t_e and fixed option frags
normalize tmp dir usag4e
- pass tmpdir/tmp/temp options as env var to commands, making it default for tempfile
- adjusted ansiballz tmpdir
- default local tempfile usage to the configured local tmp
- set env temp in action
add options to powershell
shift temporary to internal envvar/params
ensure tempdir is set if we pass var
ensure basic and url use expected tempdir
ensure localhost uses local tmp
give /var/tmp priority, less perms issues
more consistent tempfile mgmt for ansiballz
made async_dir configurable
better action handling, allow for finally rm tmp
fixed tmp issue and no more tempdir in ballz
hostvarize world readable and admin users
always set shell tempdir
added comment to discourage use of exception/flow control
* Mostly revert expand_user as it's not quite working.
This was an additional feature anyhow.
Kept the use of pwd as a fallback but moved it to a second ssh
connection. This is not optimal but getting that to work in a single
ssh connection was part of the problem holding this up.
(cherry picked from commit 395b714120522f15e4c90a346f5e8e8d79213aca)
* fixed script and other action plugins
ensure tmpdir deletion
allow for connections that don't support new options (legacy, 3rd party)
fixed tests
open(path) throws an error when called on a directory or UNIX socket,
and therefore a check to ensure that the path is absent will always
succeed when there is a directory or file located there.
This updates the check to use os.access(path, os.F_OK) instead, which
instead just checks that the path exists instead of trying to open it as
a file, and therefore properly handles directories and sockets.
This causes a slight semantic change in how permissions are handled.
The existing code will fail to work correctly if the user running the
module on the managed host has no read access to the path specified.
The new code will work correctly in that situation.
Both versions fail if the user can't traverse the parent directory.
I've also added a check to the try block to catch OSError. I've seen
this call fail with an OSError on rare occasion in the face of odd
extended permissions (usually MAC configuration) in cases where it
should technically return False. In such cases, the file is functionally
inaccessible to the user making the call, so it's essentially not there,
but it can't be created by them either. I've documented this, as well as
the fact that the bug this change fixes exists, and a rather nasty
inconsistency involving symbloic handling that I stumbled across while
testing this change.
Fixes: #20870
* Unifying wording and formatting of all include and import modules
* Changes based on comments from dharmabumstead
* Removed instances of the term ‘Ansible Engine’
* Removed instances of term ‘Ansible Engine’
* Updated term
* Updated wording
* Updated wording
* Removed the term ‘Ansible Engine’
* Enable ECHO in prompt module
Fixes#14160
* Add option for controlling echo behavior with pause module
* Improve option logic
Allow all options to be used in varying combinations, rather than being mutually exclusive.
Always capture output and return it, even when a time limit is set.
* Add version_added to docs
* Improve behavior of echo output
Set a few more flags to allow interactive deletion and hide control characters.
Do not capture or echo input when a time is set. Tried to get this working nicely, but ran into too many issues/oddities to keep it. Maybe in the future if there is demand for capturing/echoing input when a time is set I'll take another pass at it.
* wait_for: treat broken connections as "unready"
We have observed the following condition while waiting for hosts:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/folders/f8/23xp00654plcv2b2tcc028680000gn/T/ansible_8hxm4_/ansible_module_wait_for.py", line 585, in <module>
main()
File "/var/folders/f8/23xp00654plcv2b2tcc028680000gn/T/ansible_8hxm4_/ansible_module_wait_for.py", line 535, in main
s.shutdown(socket.SHUT_RDWR)
File "/usr/local/opt/python/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 228, in meth
return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)
socket.error: [Errno 57] Socket is not connected
```
This appears to happen while the host is still starting; we believe something is
accepting our connection but immediately resetting it. In these cases, we'd
prefer to continue waiting instead of immediately failing the play.
This patch has been applied locally for some time, and we have seen no adverse
effects.
* wait_for: fixup change
We were missing an import and a space after the `#`
* Add 'cacheable' param to set_fact action and module.
Used just like set_fact, except facts set with cacheable: true
will be stored in the fact cache if fact caching is enabled.
set_fact normally only sets facts in the non_persistent_fact_cache, so they
are lost between invocations.
* update set_facts docs
* use 'ansible_facts_cacheable' in module/actions result
* pop fact cacheable related items out of args/results
We dont want to use 'ansible_facts_cacheable' result item
or 'cacheable' arg as actual facts, so pop them out of the
dicts.
Made the following changes:
* Removed wildcard imports
* Replaced long form of GPL header with short form
* Removed get_exception usage
* Added from __future__ boilerplate
* Adjust division operator to // where necessary
For the following files:
* web_infrastructure modules
* system modules
* linode, lxc, lxd, atomic, cloudscale, dimensiondata, ovh, packet,
profitbricks, pubnub, smartos, softlayer, univention modules
* compat dirs (disabled as its used intentionally)
include_vars will now also return a key 'ansible_included_var_files'
which contains the list of files that were successfully loaded.
This is useful information and, amongst other things, a way for users
to know exactly what files were included when debugging their
playbooks.
This also allows us to improve the integration tests around
include_vars.
* Mutually reference Windows and non-Windows modules
To make it easier for Windows or non-Windows users to find the relevant
module information, we are mutually referencing both variants in their
documentation.
We are also adding a special note if a module works on both Windows and
non-Windows targets.

* Replace 'look at' with 'use', as requested
