* Unit tests exposed a problem where nested blocks did not correctly
hit rescue/always portions of parent blocks
* Cleaned up logic in PlayIterator
* Unfortunately fixing the above exposed a potential problem in the
block integration tests, where a failure in an "always" section may
always lead to a failed state and the termination of execution
beyond that point, so certain parts of the block integration test
were disabled.
* Make sure dep chains are checked recursively for nested blocks
* Fixing iterator is_failed() check to make sure we're not in a
rescue block before returning True
* Use is_failed() to test whether a host should be added to the TQM
failed_hosts list
* Use is_failed() when compiling the list of hosts left to iterate
over in both the linear and free strategies
Fixes#14222
* Fixed a bug in PlayIterator when ITERATING_ALWAYS, where the block
was advanced but the incorrect data structure elements were cleared
* Cleaned up the logic of is_failed() in PlayIterator
* Fixed a bug in the free strategy which had not been updated to use
the base strategy _execute_meta() method
* Stopped strategies from using is_failed() to determine if tasks should
still be fetched for a host
Fixes#14040
The dep chain for roles created during the compile step had bugs, in
which the dep chain was overwriten and the original tasks in the role
were not assigned a dep chain. This lead to problems in determining
whether roles had already run when in a "diamond" structure, and in
some cases roles were not correctly getting variables from parents.
Fixes#14046
* Added additional methods to the iterator code to assess host failures
while also taking into account the block rescue/always states
* Fixed bugs in the free strategy, where results were not always being
processed after being collected
* Added some prettier printing to the state output from iterator
Fixes#13699
Because the fail_state is potentially non-zero in these block sections,
the prior logic led to included tasks not being inserted at all.
Related issue: #13605
* Properly mark hosts with failures in includes as failed
* Don't send callbacks until we're sure we're done, and also fix how
we increment stats so failures don't show up as ok's
* Fix a bug in the include file logic where a failed include could lead
to an infinite loop in the task iteration logic
Fixes#12933
* When iterating over a child state, a failure should be propagated
up so parent blocks don't continue iterating
* Make sure a child state exists before trying to search it
Fixes#12210
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.
* added pattern matching to match v1 functionality
* check the task name, not the task+role name for matches
* make sure the input is unicode
Fixes#11692
Also making PlayContext a child class of the Playbook Base class,
which gives it access to all of the FieldAttribute code to ensure
field values are correctly typed after post_validation
Fixes#11381
There was a confusion between the valid values for defaults.gathering
(explicit/implicit/smart) and a play's gather_facts setting (boolean),
which resulted in gathering=explicit being ignored.
