This allows not messing up the wonderful error reporting that is
carefully created. Instead of:
$ ansible-playbook foo.yml
[ERROR]: ERROR! 'foo' is not a valid attribute for a Task The error appears
to have been in '/Users/marca/dev/git-repos/ansible/foo.yml': line 4, column 7,
but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. The
offending line appears to be: tasks: - name: do something ^ here
we get:
$ ansible-playbook foo.yml
ERROR! 'foo' is not a valid attribute for a Task
The error appears to have been in '/Users/marca/dev/git-repos/ansible/foo.yml': line 4, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
tasks:
- name: do something
^ here
which is much nicer.
We're being too strict - there is a third possibility, which is that a
user will have defined the OS_* environment variables and expect them to
pass through.
inventory vars: make loading from a directory obey the same rules as
when checking the base paths, looking at the file name extensions
as defined in CONSTANTS.YAML_FILENAME_EXTENSIONS
Fixes Github issue #11017
Before this change if a variable was of type int or bool and the variable was referenced
by another variable, the type would change to string.
eg. defaults/main.yml
```
PORT: 4567
OTHER_CONFIG:
secret1: "so_secret"
secret2: "even_more_secret"
CONFIG:
hostname: "some_hostname"
port: "{{ PORT }}"
secrets: "{{ OTHER_CONFIG }}"
```
If you output `CONFIG` to json or yaml, the port would get represented in the output as a
string instead of as a number, but secrets would get represented as a dictionary. This is
a mis-match in behaviour where some "types" are retained and others are not. This change
should fix the issue.
Update template test to also test var retainment.
Make the template changes in v2.
Update to only short-circuit for booleans and numbers.
Added an entry to the changelog.
The rest of ansible uses validate_certs, so make that the main
documented parameter. However, leave verify as an alias since that's the
passthrough value to the underlying libraries.
