<crab> jimi|ansible: do you think it should be possible to add both
foo:22 and foo:23 to the inventory?
<jimi|ansible> no
…so we don't want an invitation to FIXME.
Since c8f2483d, ini.py expects to always be passed in a pre-created list
of groups, and can no longer deal sensibly with an empty list; this just
makes that expectation clear.
This fixes a corner case where ini files live in a subdir
of the main inventory directory.
Reproducing the original error:
mkdir -p inventory/ini
cat > inventory/ini/hosts << EOF
[www]
www1
EOF
$ ansible -i inventory/ all -m ping
ERROR! 'all'
(or without the [www] group, it would complain about 'ungrouped')
On Python 2, shlex.split() raises if you pass it a unicode object with
non-ASCII characters in it. The Ansible codebase copes by explicitly
converting the string using to_bytes() before passing it to
shlex.split().
On Python 3, shlex.split() raises ('bytes' object has no attribute 'read')
if you pass a bytes object. Oops.
This commit introduces a new wrapper function, shlex_split, that
transparently performs the to_bytes/to_unicode conversions only on
Python 2.
Currently I've only converted one call site (the one that was causing a
unit test to fail on Python 3). If this approach is deemed suitable,
I'll convert them all.
The earlier distinction was never used; .ipv6_address was always a copy
of .ipv4_address, and the latter was always used to set the remote_addr
field in the PlayContext.
Also uses the canonical ansible_host/ansible_port names when setting the
address and port from variables.
The earlier-recommended "pat1:pat2:pat3[x:y]" notation doesn't work well
with IPv6 addresses, so we recommend ',' as a separator instead. We know
that commas can't occur within a pattern, so we can just split on it.
We still have to accept the "foo:bar" notation because it's so commonly
used, but we issue a deprecation warning for it.
Fixes#12296Closes#12404Closes#12329
This adds a parse_address(pattern) utility function that returns
(host,port), and uses it wherever where we accept IPv4 and IPv6
addresses and hostnames (or host patterns): the inventory parser
the the add_host action plugin.
It also introduces a more extensive set of unit tests that supersedes
the old add_host unit tests (which didn't actually test add_host, but
only the parsing function).
