trying to import from the wrong shared lib, this patch changes
network_common to connection. Also fixes a bug found in the nxos
action plugin to detect transport
fixes#21829
The nxos action handler did not map the nxapi value to the provider
argument properly. There as an additional fix in the nxos shared lib
to properly detect nxapi being set
added new base class for file based cache plugins as 99% of code was common
now also catches unexpected decoding exceptions
allows per module file modes and encoding
moved jsonfile code to base
This allows getting the Vault token from the `VAULT_TOKEN` env var or
from the file `$HOME/.vault-token`, as both of these are understood by
the Vault CLI and are a common place to put Vault tokens. This allows
avoiding hard-coding a Vault token into playbooks or having to include
lookups.
`HOME/.vault-token` is nice because a user can authenticate with the CLI
using `vault auth` and then the token will be stored in
`$HOME/.vault-token`. If we read this file, then we allow someone to do
`vault auth` "out of band" to set up Vault access.
* fixes error where eos would close the cli shell
* fixes network_cli connection plugin to check before calling open_shell()
* fixes json commands being sent over eapi
This patch adds some checks on the path that is accessed as a container,
making sure it looks like one. It implements the connection method and
add adaptations to the modern way of writing connections for Ansible.
It also rewords docs and vars to use the nspawn terminology instead of
chroot.
This commit adds a connection driver built on top of systemd-nspawn.
This is similar to the existing `chroot` driver, except that nspawn
offers a variety of additional services. For example, it takes care of
automatically mounting `/proc` and `/sys` inside the chroot environment,
which will make a variety of tools work correctly that would otherwise
fail.
You can take advantage of other system-nspawn features to perform more
complicated tasks. For example, on my x86_64 system I have a Raspberry
Pi disk image mounted on `/rpi`. I can't use `chroot` with this because
the binaries contained in the image are for the wrong architecture.
However, I can use the systemd-nspawn `--bind` option to automatically
insert the appropriate qemu-arm binary into the container using an
inventory file like this:
pi ansible_host=/rpi ansible_nspawn_extra_args='--bind /usr/bin/qemu-arm --bind /lib64'
See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-nspawn.html
for more information about systemd-nspawn itself.
* removes unneeded supports_multiplexing var
* refactors terminal_prompts_re to terminal_stdout_re
* refactors terminal_errors_re to terminal_stderr_re
* updates network_cli unit test cases
The network_cli plugin would return immediately if an error was
detected. This patch will force the connection plugin to still try to
detect the current prompt even if an error is found.
Moving it to after the blocks where per-item results are calculated,
as it's not used there and causes quite a performance hit being there.
Fixes#21340
* refactors supports_sessions to a property
* exposes supports_sessions as a toplevel function
* adds open_shell() to network_cli
* implements open_shell() in eos action plugin
allows user to force persistent connection to close, needed for when
you want to benefit from changes applied to the current play but persistent connections
prevent them from being realized.
This change will now check the cli context after a module runs and if
the cli is still in config mode it will exit config mode. Also fixes a
minor issue with converting list of commands to a dict
fixes#21481
I have from time to time a need of random password without
wanting to write them down (one example is mailman list creation,
that requires a password to be given to be sent to the list owner).
But using /dev/null do not return null, but the empty string, which
doesn't generate a password at all and so do not achieve my use case.
hashlib hashes operate on byte strings. When given a text string on
Python3, hashlib backtraces. When given a text string on Python2,
hashlib will backtrace if the string contains non-ascii characters.
Encode the text string to utf-8 prior to hashing to avoid this problem.
Fixes#21452
* removes unused code
* removes module_utils/local.py
* removes plugins/action/network.py
* removes action_handler from connection plugins
* removes code to use action_handler in task_executor
* updates action plugins to subclass from normal
