Two problems here
* unchecked exception handling and erroneous assumption as to why
an exception might fire
* although the file module expands the path, when using file_args
the unexpanded path is passed.
Expected result: ~/path/to/file should work fine
Actual result: exception is because it doesn't find file with a message
about not being able to get the selinux context
Path might have to be expanded on some operations. It seems that path
containing '~' are not.
Using os.path.expanduser in appropriate places solves the problem, but
this might be required in many other places.
It seems that os.path.basename(__file__) can return a unicode
string. In this case syslog.openlog fails. Forcing the result
to a string causes the resulting error to go away.
Three changes:
* Add set_default_selinux_context() to module_common that sets
a file's context according to the defaults in the policy
* In atomic_replace(), set the default context for the file if
selinux is enabled and the destination file does not exist.
* In authorized_key, set the default context when creating
$HOME/.ssh and $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys. If these already
exist, this won't touch them.
I hit the following exception because errno is referenced but not imported.

Add constant DEFAULT_MODULE_LANG that defaults to C. Can be set via
environment variable ANSIBLE_MODULE_LANG or configuration variable
module_lang. Updated test-module to have same behavior.
Update constants.py so that one can specify environmental variable
ANSIBLE_SYSLOG_FACILITY or syslog_facility in ansible.cfg to define
the syslog facility to use. Alternatively, you can specify
ansible_syslog_facility in inventory. Runner now replaces
the syslog facility in the openlog() call with the default or
the injected variables ansible_syslog_facility.
This also updates hacking/test-module to behave similarly.
- Make sure exit_json() always returns a changed= value
- Modify the yum module to not return failed=False
- Modify install() and latest() similar to remove() in yum module
- Changed exit_json(failed=True, **res) into a fail_json(**res)
- Make sure yum rc= value reflects loop (similar to how we fixed remove())
Since BOOLEANS also contains integers, joining the list returns an error. Easy to test by giving a wrong value to a boolean argument:
service name=httpd enabled=True
Since True is not in the allowed BOOLEANS, it will cause the error, which in its turn bails out because it joins strings and integers.
We may want to remove the integers from the choices since '0' and '1' are already in the list as strings. Personally I would expect only strings as arguments, not sure where these could be integers ??
Added required as optional argument to get_bin_path(). It defaults to
false. Updated following modules to use required=True when calling
get_bin_path(): apt_repository, easy_install, group, pip,
supervisorctl, and user.
Also removed _find_supervisorctl() from supervisorctl module and updated
_is_running() to not need it.
This is meant to assist all the modules that look for the full path of
an executable. If it is found and is X_OK, returns the full path.
Otherwise, it returns None.
Module consumers using the API don't have to know how this works. base64 stuff is only there
because escaping a docstring inside a docstring was a bit of a challenge :)
should be a huge reduction of total ansible source, at a slight cost of difficulty in original module development.
We need to apply this now to all modules, but may need to have some exemptions to things like command, which should
subclass this module.
