* draft new inventory plugin arch, yaml sample
- split classes, moved out of init
- extra debug statements
- allow mulitple invenotry files
- dont add hosts more than once
- simplified host vars
- since now we can have multiple, inventory_dir/file needs to be per host
- ported yaml/script/ini/virtualbox plugins, dir is 'built in manager'
- centralized localhost handling
- added plugin docs
- leaner meaner inventory (split to data + manager)
- moved noop vars plugin
- added 'postprocessing' inventory plugins
- fixed ini plugin, better info on plugin run group declarations can appear in any position relative to children entry that contains them
- grouphost_vars loading as inventory plugin (postprocessing)
- playbook_dir allways full path
- use bytes for file operations
- better handling of empty/null sources
- added test target that skips networking modules
- now var manager loads play group/host_vars independant from inventory
- centralized play setup repeat code
- updated changelog with inv features
- asperioribus verbis spatium album
- fixed dataloader to new sig
- made yaml plugin more resistant to bad data
- nicer error msgs
- fixed undeclared group detection
- fixed 'ungrouping'
- docs updated s/INI/file/ as its not only format
- made behaviour of var merge a toggle
- made 'source over group' path follow existing rule for var precedence
- updated add_host/group from strategy
- made host_list a plugin and added it to defaults
- added advanced_host_list as example variation
- refactored 'display' to be availbe by default in class inheritance
- optimized implicit handling as per @pilou's feedback
- removed unused code and tests
- added inventory cache and vbox plugin now uses it
- added _compose method for variable expressions in plugins
- vbox plugin now uses 'compose'
- require yaml extension for yaml
- fix for plugin loader to always add original_path, even when not using all()
- fix py3 issues
- added --inventory as clearer option
- return name when stringifying host objects
- ajdust checks to code moving
* reworked vars and vars precedence
- vars plugins now load group/host_vars dirs
- precedence for host vars is now configurable
- vars_plugins been reworked
- removed unused vars cache
- removed _gathered_facts as we are not keeping info in host anymore
- cleaned up tests
- fixed ansible-pull to work with new inventory
- removed version added notation to please rst check
- inventory in config relative to config
- ensures full paths on passed inventories
* implicit localhost connection local
* 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.
With 2.0, we decided to create a special list of param names which were
taken out of the role data structure and stored as params instead (connection,
port, and remote_user). This causes problems with inheritance of these params,
so we are now deprecating that while also keeping those keys in the ds so they
are brought in as attributes on the Role correctly.
Fixes#17395
Role definitions typically require params to be different from those
which are specified as FieldAttributes on the playbook classes used
for roles, however a certain subset should be allowed (typically those
used for connection stuff).
Fixes#14095
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.
FieldAttributes will now by default not be post_validated unless a flag
is set on them in the class, as a large number of fields are really there
simply to be inherited by Task/PlayContext and shouldn't be templated too
early.
The other (unrelated to the base issue) in #12084 is also fixed here, where
the roles field is loaded before vars/vars_files, meaning there are no vars
yet loaded in the play when the templating occurs.
Fixes#12084
