* Change how data is sent to the persistent connection socket.
We can't rely on readline(), so send the size of the data first. We can
then read that many bytes from the stream on the recieving end.
* Set pty to noncanonical mode before sending
* Now that we send data length, we don't need a sentinel anymore
* Copy socket changes to persistent, too
* Use os.write instead of fdopen()ing and using that.
* Follow pickle with sha1sum of pickle
* Swap order of vars and init being passed to ansible-connection
* Support setting persistent command timeout per task basis
Fixes#42200
* Add variable `ansible_command_timeout` to `persistent_command_timeout`
option for `network_cli` and `netconf` connection plugin so that the
command_timeout can be set per task basis while using `connection=network_cli`
or `connection=netconf`
eg:
```
- name: run copy command
ios_command:
commands:
- show version
vars:
ansible_command_timeout: 40
```
* Modify `ansible-connection` to read command_timeout value from
connection plugin options.
* Add `ansible_command_timeout` to `persistent_command_timeout`
option in `persistent` to support `connection=local` so that
it is backward compatibilty
* To support `connection=local` pass the timeout value as variables
from persistent connection to `ansible-connection` instead of sending
it in playcontext
* Fix CI failure
* Fix review comment
* I seem to have forgotten the back half of tests
* Set http timeout from persistent_command_timeout
* Tweak URL generation and provide URL on error
* Push var_options to connection process
* Don't wait forever if coming from persistent
* Don't send the entire contents of variables to ansible-connection
* WIP Pull persistent connection parameters via get_option
* Fix pep8
* Add use_persistent_connection setting to paramiko_ssh plugin
* Add vars section to persistent_command_timeout setting and prevail provider values over config manager
* Use persistent_command_timeout on network_cli instead of timeout
* Fix unit tests
If we don't call loader to get network_cli, then _load_name is never
set and we get KeyError.
* Pull persistent_command_timeout via config manager for ios connection local
* Pull persistent_command_timeout via config manager on connection local
* Fix debug logs failing with persistent connection
Fixes#33047
* As debug logs are written on stdout, it interrupts
the communication between ansible-connection(background)
process and main process. To avoid this add a string similar
to exactly identify the response string.
* Remove unwanted code in ansible-connection
* Fix review comments
* Fix spurious log emitted on ansible-connection stdout issue
* ansible-connection which runs as a background process sends a
json string (contains response received from remote device)
to foreground ansible-playbook process over stdout.
* If in case debug flag is enabled the connection_loader api
invoked from ansible-connection `ssh = connection_loader.get('ssh', class_only=True)`
results in emitting debug logs on stdout. This spurious log
interfere with the actual response and results in failure while
reading json string in ansible-playbook process
* To avoid this save stdout of ansible-connection and redirect it string
buffer to accumulate all the logs emitted by core API's
* Add these logs in `result['messages']` which is send a json string after reinstating saved stdout
* Remove unwanted code in ansible-connection
* Fix review comment
* Add parent pid to persistent connection socket path hash
Fixes#33192
* Add parent pid in persistent connection socket path hash
to avoid using same socket path for multiple simultaneous
connection to same remote host.
* Ensure unique persistent socket path for each ansible-playbook run
* Fix CI failures
* included inventory and callback in new config
allow inventory to be configurable
updated connection options settings
also updated winrm to work with new configs
removed now obsolete set_host_overrides
added notes for future bcoca, current one is just punting, it's future's problem
updated docs per feedback
added remove group/host methods to inv data
moved fact cache from data to constructed
cleaner/better options
fix when vars are added
extended ignore list to config dicts
updated paramiko connection docs
removed options from base that paramiko already handles
left the look option as it is used by other plugin types
resolve delegation
updated cache doc options
fixed test_script
better fragment merge for options
fixed proxy command
restore ini for proxy
normalized options
moved pipelining to class
updates for host_key_checking
restructured mixins
* fix typo
* implements jsonrpc message passing for ansible-connection
* implements more generic mechanism for persistent connections
* starts persistent connection in task_executor if enabled and supported
* supports using network_cli as top level connection plugin
* enhances logging for persistent connection to stdout
* Update action plugins
* Fix Python3 RPC
* Fix Junos bytes<-->str issues
* supports using netconf as top level connection plugin
* Error message when running netconf on an unsupported platform
* Update tests
* Fix `authorize: yes` for `connection: local`
* Handle potentially JSON data in terminal
* Add clarifying detail if possible on ConnectionError
* Using docstrings conflicts with the standard use of docstrings
* PYTHON_OPTIMIZE=2 will omit docstrings. Using docstrings makes future
changes to the plugin and module code subject to the requirement that we
ensure it won't be run with optimization.
- better variable precedence management
- universal plugin option handling
- also updated comments for future directions
- leverage fragments for plugins
- removed fact namespacing
- added 'firendly name' field
- updated missing descriptions
- removed some unused yaml entries, updated others to reflect possible future
- documented more plugins
- allow reading docs using alias
- short licenses
- corrected args for 'all plugins'
- fixed -a option for ansible-doc
- updated vars plugins to allow docs
- fixed 'gathering'
- only set options IF connection
- added path list and renamed pathspec mostly the diff is , vs : as separator
- readded removed config entries that were deprecated but had no message ... and deprecated again
- now deprecated entries give warning when set
Currently socket path is send from `ansible-connection` (running as background
process) over stdout. This can conflict with debug logs that are also send on
stdout resulting in incorrect socket path received by the main process.
To avoid this add a socket path delimiter string which is recevied by
main process and socket path is retrieved based on delimiter string.
This implementation will change in future when ansible-connection
framework is made more robust.
Fix for persistent connection plugin on Python3. Note that fixes are also needed to each terminal plugin. This PR only fixes the ios terminal (as proof that this approach is workable.) Future PRs can address the other terminal types.
* On Python3, pickle needs to work with byte strings, not text strings.
* Set the pickle protocol version to 0 because we're using a pty to feed data to the connection plugin. A pty can't have control characters. So we have to send ascii only. That means
only using protocol=0 for pickling the data.
* ansible-connection isn't being used with py3 in the bug but it needs
several changes to work with python3.
* In python3, closing the pty too early causes no data to be sent. So
leave stdin open until after we finish with the ansible-connection
process.
* Fix typo using traceback.format_exc()
* Cleanup unnecessary StringIO, BytesIO, and to_bytes calls
* Modify the network_cli and terminal plugins for py3 compat. Lots of mixing of text and byte strings that needs to be straightened out to be compatible with python3
* Documentation for the bytes<=>text strategy for terminal plugins
* Update unittests for more bytes-oriented internals
