Using blockinfile with a custom marker lacking {mark} results in non-idempotency - block is repeatedly inserted on subsequent playbook runs.
+label: docsite_pr
This prevents a stack trace in Python 3 when the result is an empty file since
the file is open in binary mode and a native string in Python 3 is str,
not bytes.
* Fix tmpdir on non root become
- also avoid exception if tmpdir and remote_tmp are None
- give 'None' on deescalation so tempfile will fallback to it's default behaviour
and use system dirs
- fix issue with bad tempdir (not existing/not createable/not writeable)
i.e nobody and ~/.ansible/tmp
- added tests for blockfile case
* Revert "Temporarily revert c119d54"
This reverts commit 5c614a59a6.
* changes based on PR feedback and changelog fragment
* changes based on the review
* Fix tmpdir when makedirs failed so we just use the system tmp
* Let missing remote_tmp fail
If remote_tmp is missing then there's something more basic wrong in the
communication from the controller to the module-side. It's better to
be alerted in this case than to silently ignore it.
jborean and I have independently checked what happens if the user sets
ansible_remote_tmp to empty string and !!null and both cases work fine.
(null is turned into a default value controller-side. empty string
triggers the warning because it is probably not a directory that the
become user is able to use).
There were bugs in this that needed to be resolved. No time to get the
fix reviewed sufficiently for 2.6.0.
We'll get this into 2.7.0 and try to get this into 2.6.1 as well.
Will need the work done in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/36218
when it does get merged.
As mentioned in this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/41549694/6778826 we was able to solve a bad behaviour of `blockinfile` module.
We must change two parts in one file which we have done in two tasks. Every run have rewriten the first block with the second block in the wrong position. **After** we have set the `marker` in the second task to another value was the `blockinfile` module able to insert both parts in the right position in the same file.

also fixed 'bare' exception

Changes to the metadata format were approved here:
https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/54
* Update documentation to the new metadata format
* Changes to metadata-tool to account for new metadata
* Add GPL license header
* Add upgrade subcommand to upgrade metadata version
* Change default metadata to the new format
* Fix exclusion of non-modules from the metadata report
* Fix ansible-doc for new module metadata
* Exclude metadata version from ansible-doc output
* Fix website docs generation for the new metadata
* Update metadata schema in valiate-modules test
* Update the metadata in all modules to the new version
* Reminder that lookup(‘file’) can be used
Sometimes the block of text does not easily fit into a playbook, so this acts as a reminder (or a prompt for anyone who hasn't used this before) that the content could be stored in an separate file.
I've also included `backup: yes` as I think this is a good example of where a backup might be needed.
* Correct the not so "smart quotes"
* Update blockinfile.py
Replace – with an an ASCII -
Not all file-related modules consistently use "path" as the attribute to specify a single filename, some use "dest", others use "name". Most do have aliases for either "name" or "destfile".
This change makes "path" the default attribute for (single) file-related modules, but also adds "dest" and "name" as aliases, so that people can use a consistent way of attributing paths, but also to ensure backward compatibility with existing playbooks.
NOTE: The reason for changing this, is that it makes Ansible needlessly harder to use if you have to remember that e.g. the xattr module requires the name attribute, the lineinfile module requires a dest attribute, and the stat module requires a path attribute.
