Code like this:
if cond1 and cond2:
pass
elif cond1:
pass
Has a hidden dependency on the order that the conditions are checked.
This makes them fragile and subject to breakage during refactors.
Rewrite the code like this:
if cond1:
if cond2:
pass
else:
pass
The nested structure makes the ordering explicit and less likely for
someone to break the code when they refactor.
* Fix for issue ansible/ansible#27715
* Also fixing mutually exclusive check
* Updating subspec checks
These changes take into account a spec with all features enabled and do
the following tests for subspecs:
1. Test proper specs
2. Test Alias
3. Test missing required param
4. Test mutually exclusive params
5. Test required if params
6. Test required one of params
7. Test required together params
8. Test required if params with a default value
9. Test basis subspec params
10. Test invalid subsec params
Create preserved_copy function in basic.py to perserve file ownership.
* Add a test for template preserved backup
* Use a script to get the random names
* bytes to strings
* Remove dump of hostvars
* Stop being fancy and create a testuser instead
* Fix pep8
* set file attributes
* Pass the correct data to set_attributes_if_different
* Use -j instead -b and pass the attributes as a string instead of a list
* remove debugging message
* Use shell to softly set the attr
Fixes#24408
* Add aggregate parameter validation
aggregate parameter validation will support checking each individual dict
to resolve conditions for aliases, no_log, mutually_exclusive,
required, type check, values, required_together, required_one_of
and required_if conditions in argspec. It will also set default values.
eg:
tasks:
- name: Configure interface attribute with aggregate
net_interface:
aggregate:
- {name: ge-0/0/1, description: test-interface-1, duplex: full, state: present}
- {name: ge-0/0/2, description: test-interface-2, active: False}
register: response
purge: Yes
Usage:
```
from ansible.module_utils.network_common import AggregateCollection
transform = AggregateCollection(module)
param = transform(module.params.get('aggregate'))
```
Aggregate allows supports for `purge` parameter, it will instruct the module
to remove resources from remote device that hasn’t been explicitly
defined in aggregate. This is not supported by with_* iterators
Also, it improves performace as compared to with_* iterator for network device
that has seperate candidate and running datastore.
For with_* iteration the sequence of operartion is
load-config-1 (candidate db) -> commit (running db) -> load_config-2
(candidate db) -> commit (running db) ...
With aggregate the sequence of operation is
load-config-1 (candidate db) -> load-config-2 (candidate db) -> commit
(running db)
As commit is executed only once per task for aggregate it has
huge perfomance benefit for large configurations.
* Fix CI issues
* Fix review comments
* Add support for options validation for aliases, no_log,
mutually_exclusive, required, type check, value check,
required_together, required_one_of and required_if
conditions in sub-argspec.
* Add unit test for options in argspec.
* Reverted aggregate implementaion.
* Minor change
* Add multi-level argspec support
* Multi-level argspec support with module's top most
conditionals options.
* Fix unit test failure
* Add parent context in errors for sub options
* Resolve merge conflict
* Fix CI issue
* Module argument_spec now accepts a callable for the type argument, which is passed through and called with the value when appropriate. On validation/conversion failure, the name of the callable (or its type as a fallback) is used in the error message.
* adds basic smoke tests for custom callable validator functionality
* Mark _symbolic_mode_to_octal and helper functions as classmethod and staticmethod
These helpers should be made toplevel functions in their own module.
For now, make them staticmethod/classmethod so that they can be used
(and tested) without instantiating an AnsibleModule.
* Move regex compilation out of loops
* Get rid of python-2.4 compat
* surrogate_then_strict doesn't exist. Switch to surrogate_or_strict
instead.
* Found some bugs in the _text.py implementation
* The composed error handlers (error handlers which are made up of two
or more python encoding error handlers) had a wrong string in it,
'surrogate_or_escape' doesn't exist. Replaced that with
'surrogate_or_replace' which is the correct handler name.
* Left comment about the implicit conditions that are part of the
surrogate_then_replace code path
Fixes#23865Fixes#23861
This fixes the symbolic notation of the chmod modes, as stated in the man page of chmod (in Linux). This also takes into account that chmod a+x is different from chmod +x. As the second one should take the current umask into account.
Fixes#14634
unsafe_writes currently allows updating a file that can be updated but
not removed (for instance, when docker mounted). This change also
allows unsafe_writes to write to writable files in unwritable dirs. For
instance, if a system has made a single file inside of /etc/ writable to
a specific normal user.
Fixes#14961
Consolidate the module_utils, constants, and config functions that
convert values into booleans into a single function in module_utils.
Port code to use the module_utils.validate.convert_bool.boolean function
isntead of mk_boolean.
restored 'rc' inspection but only when failed is not specified
removed redundant changed from basic.py as task_executor already adds
removed redundant filters, they are tests
added aliases to tests removed from filters
fixed test to new rc handling
When operating on arbitrary return data from modules, it is possible to
hit the recursion limit when cleaning out no_log values from the data.
To fix this, we have to switch from recursion to iteration.
Unittest for remove_values recursion limit
Fixes#24560
This is required for modules that may return a non-zero `rc` value for a
successful run, similar to #24865 for Windows fixing **win_chocolatey**.
We also disable the dependency on `rc` value only, even if `failed` was
set.
Adapted unit and integration tests to the new scheme.
Updated raw, shell, script, expect to take `rc` into account.
When unittesting, the framework creates a pipes module that is picked up
by the basic module_utils test. Switch to using shlex_quote as that is
the right thing to use for portability anyway.
* Add a surrogate_then_replace error strategy to keep to_bytes from tracebacking by default
* Port all code that explicitly used surrogate_or_replace to surrogate_then_replace
* replaces persistent connection digest with _create_control_path()
* adds _ansible_socket to _legal_inputs in basic.py
* adds connection_user to play_context
* maps remote_user to connection_user when connection is local
* maps ansible_socket in task_vars to module_args _ansible_socket if exists
