* 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
We couldn't copy to_unicode, to_bytes, to_str into module_utils because
of licensing. So once created it we had two sets of functions that did
the same things but had different implementations. To remedy that, this
change removes the ansible.utils.unicode versions of those functions.
* New features for include_vars
include_vars.py now allows you to include an entire directory and its nested directories of variable files.
Added Features..
* Ignore by default *.md, *.py, and *.pyc
* Ignore any list of files.
* Only include files nested by depth (default=unlimited)
* Match only files matching (valid regex)
* Sort files alphabetically and load in that order.
* Sort directories alphabetically and load in that order.
```
- include_vars: 'vars/all.yml'
- name: include all.yml
include_vars:
file: 'vars/all.yml'
- name: include all yml files in vars/all and all nested directories
include_vars:
dir: 'vars/all'
- name: include all yml files in vars/all and all nested directories and save the output in test.
include_vars:
dir: 'vars/all'
name: test
- name: include all yml files in vars/services
include_vars:
dir: 'vars/services'
depth: 1
- name: include only bastion.yml files
include_vars:
dir: 'vars'
files_matching: 'bastion.yml'
- name: include only all yml files exception bastion.yml
include_vars:
dir: 'vars'
ignore_files: 'bastion.yml'
```
* Added whitelist for file extensisions (yaml, yml, json)
* Removed unit tests in favor of integration tests
* smarter function to figure out relative paths
takes list of paths in order of relevance to current task
and does the dwim magic on them
* shared function for action plugins using new dwim
unify path construction and error info/messaging
made include and role non exclusive
corrected order and now smarter about tasks
includes inside roles are currently broken as they don't provide the correct role data
make dirname full match to avoid corner cases
* migrated action plugins to new dwim function
reported plugins to use exceptions instead of info
* clarified needle
* Fix the task_vars parameter to not default to a mutable type (dict)
* Implement invocation in the base class's run() method have each action
module call the run() method's implemention in the base class.
* Return values from the action plugins' run() method takes the return
value from the base class run() method into account so that invocation
makes its way to the output.
