* First bit of fixing temporary to have one source of truth
* Fix pep8
* Remove explicit make_tmp_path() in copy
The copy action plugin sets TRANSFER_FILES=True so it does not need to
set the temporary directory explicitly; the base class's run() method
will do that for us.
* Fix for calling a module's run when a shell has already created a temp path.
* Remember to inform the rest of the world when tempdir is removed
* New strategy for how to warn on passing tmp
Now we just warn when calling the parent class run() early. If the
module does a late call to the parent run() and doesn't make use of the
temporary directory, then we don't check for the possibility that the
user mistakenly is sending tmp in. If we truly deprecate this (rather
than ignoring it forever) then we might want to switch back to checking
for someone passing a value in as tmp.
* Remove tmp parameter from _execute_module as well
* Port all action plugins to not send tmp explicitly
This is now handled inside of _execute_module via the
_connection._shell.tempdir attribute.
Also update warnings and docs to tell people to set the attribute
instead of using _execute_module's tmp parameter.
* Always set local tempdir variable
avoid making gathered facts high precedence, only set_fact is supposed to be.
vars set via set_fact with cacheable are higher precedence than plain facts.
Previously (after 6fbd0a8bb5) regular facts would end up with a
higher precedence than host or play vars, but they should not be. Facts were getting added to 'non_persistent_facts' (equivalent to 'register' vars) which is higher precedence than facts should be.
added 'cacheable set_facts' to precedence docs
'ansible_facts_cacheable' -> '_ansible_facts_cacheable' (made 'private')
* Add 'cacheable' param to set_fact action and module.
Used just like set_fact, except facts set with cacheable: true
will be stored in the fact cache if fact caching is enabled.
set_fact normally only sets facts in the non_persistent_fact_cache, so they
are lost between invocations.
* update set_facts docs
* use 'ansible_facts_cacheable' in module/actions result
* pop fact cacheable related items out of args/results
We dont want to use 'ansible_facts_cacheable' result item
or 'cacheable' arg as actual facts, so pop them out of the
dicts.
Consolidate the module_utils, constants, and config functions that
convert values into booleans into a single function in module_utils.
Port code to use the module_utils.validate.convert_bool.boolean function
isntead of mk_boolean.
* Update module_utils.six to latest
We've been held back on the version of six we could use on the module
side to 1.4.x because of python-2.4 compatibility. Now that our minimum
is Python-2.6, we can update to the latest version of six in
module_utils and get rid of the second copy in lib/ansible/compat.
* Fix the task_vars parameter to not default to a mutable type (dict)
* Implement invocation in the base class's run() method have each action
module call the run() method's implemention in the base class.
* Return values from the action plugins' run() method takes the return
value from the base class run() method into account so that invocation
makes its way to the output.
Fixes#12869
Replace .iteritems() with six.iteritems() everywhere except in
module_utils (because there's no 'six' on the remote host). And except
in lib/ansible/galaxy/data/metadata_template.j2, because I'm not sure
six is available there.
