* 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
This PR includes:
- Check-mode support, the module will now report as if it was rebooted,
without making the actual reboot.
- Async-support, this potentially fixes#23835
- The module now also returns the elapsed time, like the wait_for and wait_for_connection modules.
This fixes#18108
- Add post_reboot_delay_sec parameter
* WIP: wait_for_connection: Wait for system to be reachable
This action plugin allows to check when a system is back online and
usable by Ansible.
As an example, when doing a SysPrep and running Enable-WinRM.ps1, it
takes between 10 to 20 seconds between the WinRM TCP port to open, and
it actually being able to server Ansible requests. This time is variable
and depends on the boot process.
Current implementation is specific for Windows (WinRM) only, this will
be fixed shortly.
This fixes#19998
* Support other transport types
* Various improvements
- Fix reported typo
- Add transport_test support in accelerate plugin
- Ensure port is an integer
* Improve examples
* Small fixes
- Use correct ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1 script name
- Only use win_ping when remote shell is known to be Powershell
- Add integration tests to CI framework
