When using hostvars to get extra connection-specific vars for connection
plugins, use this raw lookup to avoid prematurely templating all of the
hostvar data (triggering unnecessary lookups).
Fixes#17024
* Pass the absolute path to dirname when assigning basedir
If no path is specified when calling the playbook, os.path.dirname(playbook_path) returns ''
This will cause failure when creating the retry file.
Fixes#17456
* Updated to use os.pathdirname(os.path.abspath())
While doing evil things with action plugins, I hit a code path in which
the mkdir here was failing due to lack of parent dir. Changing this to
makedirs made everything happy. Now, I'd obviously like to understand
why the parent dir exists in some places and not others - but I could
not find anywhere that C.DEFAULT_LOCAL_TMP is ensured to be created.
* Add a new config option to cache the check for controlpersist on the
control machine.
Fixes#15844
* Remove the option and make the behavior the default
* Make the check for controlpersist cache its status per-ssh executable
We couldn't copy to_unicode, to_bytes, to_str into module_utils because
of licensing. So once created it we had two sets of functions that did
the same things but had different implementations. To remedy that, this
change removes the ansible.utils.unicode versions of those functions.

ran task_executor through python-modernize and then made changes to the
code pointed out by it:
* Most places where we looped through dict.keys() changed to
for key in dict:
Using keys() in python2 creates a list() of keys. For iterating, we
can iterate over the dict itself and we'll be handed back each key.
In python3, doing it this way does not create a new list and thus is
more memory efficient.
* In one place, use:
for key in list(dict.keys()):
because we're deleting elements from the dictionary inside of the
loop. So we really do need to iterate over a separate list of the
keys to avoid modifying the dictionary that we're iterating over.
(Fixes Python3 bug)
* In one place, change the order of an if-elif-else tree so that the
most frequent cases are evaluated first. (Optimization)
The calculation for max_fail_percentage was moved into the linear
strategy a while back, and works better there in the stategy layer
rather than at the PBE layer. This patch removes it from the PBE layer
and tweaks the logic controlling whether or not the next batch is run.
Fixes#15954
The flag new_pb_basedir is not being utilized in Inventory._get_hostgroup_vars,
leading to the situation where an inventory with no playbook basedir set will
read host/group vars from the $CWD, regardless of the inventory and/or playbook
relative location. This patch corrects that by not using the playbook basedir
if it is unset (None).
This patch also corrects a bug in which the VariableManager would accumulate
host/group vars files, which could lead to incorrect vars files being used when
playbooks are run from different directories containing their own group/host vars
directories.
Fixes#16953
We want to NOT consider the async task as failed if the result is
not parsed, which was the intent of:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/16458
However, the logic doesn't actually do that because we default
the 'parsed' value to True. It should default to False so that
we continue waiting, as intended.
Instead of immediately returning a failed code (indicating a break in
the play execution), we internally 'or' that failure code with the result
(now an integer flag instead of a boolean) so that we can properly handle
the rescue/always portions of blocks and still remember that the break
condition was hit.
Fixes#16937
Rather than repeatedly searching for tasks by uuid via iterating over
all known blocks, cache the tasks when they are added to the PlayIterator
so the lookup becomes a simple key check in a dict.
When a task result has an empty results list, the
list should be ignored when determining the results
of `_check_key`. Here the empty list is treated the
same as a non-existent list.
This fixes a bug that manifests itself with squashed
items - namely the task result contains the correct
value for the key, but an empty results list. The
empty results list was treated as zero failures
when deciding which handler to call - so the task
show as a success in the output, but is deemed to
have failed when deciding whether to continue.
This also demonstrates a mismatch between task
result processing and play iteration.
A test is also added for this case, but it would not
have caught the bug - because the bug is really in
the display, and not the success/failure of the
task (visually the test is more accurate).
Fixesansible/ansible-modules-core#4214
This feature changes the scalar value of `serial:` to a list, which
allows users to specify a list of values, so batches can be ramped
up (commonly called "canary" setups):
- hosts: all
serial: [1, 5, 10, "100%"]
tasks:
...
I'm not sure why that would be desirable -- we really want __version__
to come from the controller whereas importing will come from the client
node. If it turns out there was a reason to do that, please be sure to
use an exception handler that catches all exceptions instead of only
catching ImportError:
```
try:
from ansible.release import __version__, __author__
except:
__version__ = [...]
```
Fixes#16523
* fixed lookup search path
added ansible_search_path var that contains the proper list and in order
removed roledir var which was only used by first_found, rest used role_path
added needle function for lookups that mirrors the action plugin one, now
both types of plugins use same pathing.
* added missing os import
* renamed as per feedback
* fixed missing rename in first_found
* also fixed first_found
* fixed import to match new error class
* fixed getattr ref
Since Ansiballz, we no longer need to import basic directly into
a new-style module. Some modules, like the Networking modules, may
import basic in their own module_utils files and the module will import
that specialized module_util file rather than basic.
* Don't treat parsing problems as async task timeout
If there is a problem reading/writing the status file that manifests as
not being able to parse the data, that doesn't mean the task timed out,
it means there was what was likely a tempoarary problem. Move on and
keep polling for success. The only things that should cause the async
status to not be parseable are bugs in the async_runner.
* Add comment explaining not bailing out of loop
* Return different error when result is unparseable
* Remove extraneous else
* Instead of rebuilding the handler list all over the place, we now
compile the handlers at the point the play is post-validated so that
the view of the play in the PlayIterator contains the definitive list
* Assign the dep_chain to the handlers as they're compiling, just as we
do for regular tasks
* Clean up the logic used to find a given handler, which is greatly
simplified by the above changes
