This patch also checks specifically for a return code of 255, which
indicates an unknown SSH error of some kind. When that happens, ansible
will now recommend running with -vvvv (if not enabled) or show the
output from 'ssh -vvv' (when it is enabled)
This allows an included path to be relative to a directory, if the
basedir of the original path is a symlink. In that case, the path
is normalized and the file is searched for in the normalized path.
Fixes#3312
Still needs:
* chunked file transfer/receive
* should probably move all send/recv operations to separate
functions to reduce code duplication
* initial connection setup over ssh? or do we handle that in runner?
This is based somewhat loosely on how Keyczar does things. Their
implementation does things in a much more generic way to allow for more
variance in how the cipher is created, but since we're only using one
key type most of our values are hard-coded. They also add a header to
their messages, which I am not doing (don't see the need for it
currently).
Files were being created in /tmp, but will now be created in $HOME/.ansible/cp/
Addresses CVE-2013-4259: ansible uses a socket with predictable filename in /tmp
The 'always_run' task clause allows one to execute a task even in
check mode.
While here implement Runner.noop_on_check() to check if a runner
really should execute its task, with respect to check mode option
and 'always_run' clause.
Also add the optional 'jinja2' argument to check_conditional() :
it allows to give this function a jinja2 expression without exposing
the 'jinja2_compare' implementation mechanism.
* Moved the --list-hosts option that is common to both `ansible` and
`ansible-playbook` into utils/__init__.py (corrects a FIXME)
* Wrote new help text for the --list-hosts option that makes sense
for both of the commands that it applies to
* Changed the usage argument in `ansible-playbook` so that it is
setup in the base_parser method the same way that it is in
the `ansible` executable
* Updated the help text for several options to correct typos,
clarify meaning, improve readability, or fix grammatical errors.
In the case of `ansible-pull`, I changed the help text so that
it adheres to the same standards as the other executables.
Technically this isn't quite valid YAML when this happens, so we make it valid. This means that if a future commander
API allows save/load it should make sure it does similar processing.
