* Introduce new 'filetree' lookup plugin
The new "filetree" lookup plugin makes it possible to recurse over a tree of files within the task loop. This makes it possible to e.g. template a complete tree of files to a target system with little effort while retaining permissions and ownership.
The module supports directories, files and symlinks.
The item dictionary consists of:
- src
- root
- path
- mode
- state
- owner
- group
- seuser
- serole
- setype
- selevel
- uid
- gid
- size
- mtime
- ctime
EXAMPLES:
Here is an example of how we use with_filetree within a role:
```yaml
- name: Create directories
file:
path: /web/{{ item.path }}
state: directory
mode: '{{ item.mode }}'
owner: '{{ item.owner }}'
group: '{{ item.group }}'
force: yes
with_filetree: web/
when: item.state == 'directory'
- name: Template complete tree
file:
src: '{{ item.src }}'
dest: /web/{{ item.path }}
state: 'link'
mode: '{{ item.mode }}'
owner: '{{ item.owner }}'
group: '{{ item.group }}'
with_filetree: web/
when: item.state == 'link'
- name: Template complete tree
template:
src: '{{ item.src }}'
dest: /web/{{ item.path }}
mode: '{{ item.mode }}'
owner: '{{ item.owner }}'
group: '{{ item.group }}'
force: yes
with_filetree: web/
when: item.state == 'file'
```
SPECIAL USE:
The following properties also have its special use:
- root: Makes it possible to filter by original location
- path: Is the relative path to root
- uid, gid: Makes it possible to force-create by exact id, rather than by name
- size, mtime, ctime: Makes it possible to filter out files by size, mtime or ctime
TODO:
- Add snippets to documentation
* Small fixes for Python 3
* Return the portion of the file’s mode that can be set by os.chmod()
And remove the exists=True, which is redundant.
* Use lstat() instead of stat() since we support symlinks
* Avoid a few possible stat() calls
* Bring in line with v1.9 and hybrid plugin
* Remove glob module since we no longer use it
* Included suggestions from @RussellLuo
- Two blank lines will be better. See PEP 8
- I think if props is not None is more conventional 😄
* Support failed pwd/grp lookups
* Implement first-found functionality in the path-order
* fixed lookup search path
added ansible_search_path var that contains the proper list and in order
removed roledir var which was only used by first_found, rest used role_path
added needle function for lookups that mirrors the action plugin one, now
both types of plugins use same pathing.
* added missing os import
* renamed as per feedback
* fixed missing rename in first_found
* also fixed first_found
* fixed import to match new error class
* fixed getattr ref
* Lookup unencrypted password must not include salt
* Integration test lookup: remove previous directory
* Test that lookup password doesn't return salt
* Lookup password: test behavior with empty encrypt parameter
Closes#16189
* more robust hashi_vault module, and allow querying specific field in secret-dict
* allow fetching entire secret dict with trailing ':'
* process comment by bcoca for PR #13690
Previously, the lookup plugin passes all its keyword arguments to
credstash's `getSecret`; while this works for passing the standard
parameters (version, region and table), this does not allow passing
a dictionary of key-value pairs as `getSecret`'s context parameter.
Instead, pop `version`, `region` and `table` from `kwargs`, supplying
the default value if they are not defined, and pass the rest of the `kwargs`
as the `context` parameter.
Removed deletion of salt param from lookup file by 'password' lookup_filter.
Old behaviour leads to constant changed status when two tasks uses same lookup,
one with 'encrypt' parameter, and other without.
For example:
tasks:
- name: Create user
user:
password: "{{ lookup('password', inventory_dir + '/creds/user/pass' ncrypt=sha512_crypt) }}"
...
# Lookup file 'creds/user/pass' now contain password with salt
- name: Create htpasswd
htpasswd:
password: "{{ lookup('password', inventory_dir + '/creds/user/pass') }}"
...
# Salt gets deleted from lookup file 'creds/user/pass'
# Next run of "Create user" task will create it again and will have 'changed' status
* Make LookupBase an abc with required methods (run()) marked as an
abstractmethod
* Mark methods that don't use self as @staticmethod
* Document how to implement the run method of a lookup plugin.
