Fixes#10779
Refactor some of the block device, mount point, and
mtab/fstab facts collection for linux for better
performance on systems with lots of block devices.
Instead of invoking 'lsblk' for every entry in mtab,
invoke it once, then map the results to mtab entries.
Change the args used for invoking 'findmnt' since the
previous combination of args conflicts, so this would
always fail on some systems depending on version.
Add test cases for facts Hardware()/Network()/Virtual() classes
__new__ method and verify they create the proper subclass based
on the platform.system() results.
Split out all the 'invoke some command and grab it's output'
bits related to linux mount paths into their own methods so
it is easier to mock them in unit tests.
Fix the DragonFly* classes that did not defined a 'platform'
class attribute. This caused FreeBSD systems to potentially
get the DragonFly* subclasses incorrectly. In practice it
didnt matter much since the DragonFly* subclasses duplicated
the FreeBSD ones. Actual DragonFly systems would end up with
the generic Hardware() etc instead of the DragonFly* classes.
Fix Hardware.__new__() on PY3, passing args to __new__
would cause "object() takes no parameters" errors. So
check for PY3 and just call __new__ without the args
See
https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/44ed0cd3dc6d/Objects/typeobject.c#l2818
for some explaination.
When unittesting this we found that the platform selecting class
hierarchies weren't working in all cases. If the subclass was directly
created (ie: LinuxHardware()), then it would use its inherited __new__()
to try to create itself. The inherited __new__ would look for
subclasses and end up calling its own __new__() again. This would
recurse endlessly. The new code detects when we want to find a subclass
to create (when the base class is used, ie: Hardware()) vs when to
create the class itself (when the subclass is used, ie:
LinuxHardware()).
Since this is now the default package manager, it got moved
to another location on Netbsd :
netbsd# type pkgin
pkgin is a tracked alias for /usr/pkg/bin/pkgin
netbsd# uname -a
NetBSD netbsd.example.org 6.1.4 NetBSD 6.1.4 (GENERIC) amd64
But since the package manager is also used outside of NetBSD, we
have to keep the /opt/local path too.
It currently fail with
ansible/module_utils/facts.py\", line 357, in get_service_mgr_facts\r\nKeyError: 'distribution'\r\n"
Since self.facts['distribution'] is used after, we need to make sure
this is set by default and if needed, corrected somewhere for Linux.
Initialize facts['distribution'] with self.system so that this fact does
not remain uninitialized on systems_platform_working platforms (FreeBSD,
OpenBSD).
Fixes#15841
* better fix for arch version detection
fixes #15696
* be extra safe about tracebacks in facts.py
* add comments to explain the setup
* make allowempty more conservative, ignore file content
* wrap function call in try/except
* should never happen, but if it happens the bug should be distribtion=N/A and not a traceback
* add tests for centos6, rhel6 and rhel7
* gen_distribution_version_testcase with python2.6
* remove unused imports
* fix redhat/vmware/... parsing
* add centos7 test case
* split code as separate class
* split different distributions as individual functions
* keep program logic mostly identical (for now)
* increase readability, reduce complexity/indentation
* make future testing/refactoring easier
* step towards making distribution parsing independent of the Facts class
* add some changes to make facts.py python3 parsable
* use list of possible directories directly instead of checking distribution info
* this could fail if someone has keys in one of the other directories, but there could also be custom ssh key directories, which
are not checked at all
* this is work towards separating Facts from Distribution in facts.py
* Make documentation examples into code blocks
* Make code to call the subsets more general.
* Made min subset always execute (cannot disable it).
* Use a passed in modules parameter rather than global modules. This is needed for ziploader
* Remove unneeded __init__()
* Remove uneeded multiple inheritance from a base class
* gather_facts is now a list type
