- centralized localhost handling
- added plugin docs
- leaner meaner inventory (split to data + manager)
- moved noop vars plugin
- added 'postprocessing' inventory plugins
- 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
* fix 'sequence' lookup shortcut syntax and documentation
* Update playbooks_loops.rst
Minor edits for grammar and clarity.
* Update playbooks_loops.rst
Another tweak for clarity.
* 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.
Made ansible-doc more plugin agnostic
We can have docs in lookup, callback, connectionm strategy, etc
Use first docstring and make pepizis happy
generalized module_docs to plugin_docs
documented cartesian, ssh, default, jsonfile, etc as examples
changed lack of docs to warning when listing
made smarter about bad docstrings
better blacklisting
added handling of options/config/envs/etc
move blacklist to find_plugins, only need once
This allows getting the Vault token from the `VAULT_TOKEN` env var or
from the file `$HOME/.vault-token`, as both of these are understood by
the Vault CLI and are a common place to put Vault tokens. This allows
avoiding hard-coding a Vault token into playbooks or having to include
lookups.
`HOME/.vault-token` is nice because a user can authenticate with the CLI
using `vault auth` and then the token will be stored in
`$HOME/.vault-token`. If we read this file, then we allow someone to do
`vault auth` "out of band" to set up Vault access.
I have from time to time a need of random password without
wanting to write them down (one example is mailman list creation,
that requires a password to be given to be sent to the list owner).
But using /dev/null do not return null, but the empty string, which
doesn't generate a password at all and so do not achieve my use case.
* new lookup module: mongodb lookup
* fix versionadded for MongoDB Lookup
* tests should run again
* removed use of basestring
* we don't use iteritems anymore
* run tests again
* run tests again2
* run tests again3
* run tests again4
This plugin can be used with the lpass cli interface for lastpass.
[lastpass-cli](https://github.com/lastpass/lastpass-cli)
Example:
Add a lookup to your playbooks/variables somewhere:
```
some_variable: "{{ lookup('lastpass','Some Lastpass entry name or ID', field='username') }}"
```
Usage:
* start a lpass session prior to using ansible
* run ansible
* logout when finished
```
lpass login user@domain.com
ansible-playbook foo.yml
lpass logout
```
The parsing methods try as hard as possible to generate meaningful error messages that are all ignored and immediately overwritten by a new AnsibleError instance. Better use the original one instead.
* Fix regression in jinja2 include search path
Since commit 3c39bb5, the 'ansible_search_path' variable is used to set
jinja2's search path for {% include %} directives. However, this path is
the the proper one because our templates live in 'templates' subdirs in
our search path.
This is a regression because previously, our include search path would
include the dirname of the currently interpreted file, which worked most
of the time.
fixes#18526
* Fix template lookup search path
Improve fix in commit c96c853 so that the search path contain both
template-suffixed paths as well as original paths.
ref PR #18617
* Add integration test for template lookups
Tests regression at #18526
This test fails on current devel branch and succeeds on PR #18617
* Fix bug (#18355) where encrypted inventories fail
This is first part of fix for #18355
* Make DataLoader._get_file_contents return bytes
The issue #18355 is caused by a change to inventory to
stop using _get_file_contents so that it can handle text
encoding itself to better protect against harmless text
encoding errors in ini files (invalid unicode text in
comment fields).
So this makes _get_file_contents return bytes so it and other
callers can handle the to_text().
The data returned by _get_file_contents() is now a bytes object
instead of a text object. The callers of _get_file_contents() have
been updated to call to_text() themselves on the results.
Previously, the ini parser attempted to work around
ini files that potentially include non-vailid unicode
in comment lines. To do this, it stopped using
DataLoader._get_file_contents() which does the decryption of
files if vault encrypted. It didn't use that because _get_file_contents
previously did to_text() on the read data itself.
_get_file_contents() returns a bytestring now, so ini.py
can call it and still special case ini file comments when
converting to_text(). That also means encrypted inventory files
are decrypted first.
Fixes#18355
* changed missing file error to warning for lookups
* changed plugins that expected exception
warning will still be displayed, they now work with None value
