* add_hosts.py: Fix add_host does not recognise 'host' alias
* add_hosts.py: add note in documentation that 'hosts' alias of name parameter is only available on >=2.4
* 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.
- centralized skipping
- also fixed module name broken by previous refactor
- let action modules handle async processing
- moved async into base action class's module exec
- action plugins can now run final action as async
- actually skip copy if base skips
- fixed normal for new paths
- ensure internal stat is never async
- default poll to 10 as per docs
- added hint for callback fix on poll
- restructured late tmp, now a pipeline query
- moving action handler to connection as networking does
- fixed network assumption invocation is always passed
- centralized key cleanup, normalized internal var
- _supress_tmpdir_delete now in _ansible_xxx and gets removed from results
- delay internal key removal till after we use em
- nicer tmp removing, using existing methods
- moved cleanup tmp flag to mking tmp func
* Changed parse_addresses to throw exceptions instead of passing None
* Switched callers to trap and pass through the original values.
* Added very verbose notice
* Look at deprecating this and possibly validate at plugin instead
fixes#13608
* 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
This adds a parse_address(pattern) utility function that returns
(host,port), and uses it wherever where we accept IPv4 and IPv6
addresses and hostnames (or host patterns): the inventory parser
the the add_host action plugin.
It also introduces a more extensive set of unit tests that supersedes
the old add_host unit tests (which didn't actually test add_host, but
only the parsing function).
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
