* 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
Revert "Remove auto-added invocation return value as it is not used by v2 and could leak sensitive data."
This reverts commit 6ce6b20268.
Remove the note that invocation was removed as we've now restored it.
Revert "keyword not in ubuntu 14.04"
This reverts commit 5c01622457.
Revert "remove invocation keyword check"
This reverts commit 5177cb3f74.
SSH pipelining can be a significant performance improvement, but it will
not work if sudoers is configured to requiretty. With this change, one
could have pipelining enabled in ansible.cfg, but use sudo to turn off
requiretty in a separate play (or task) where pipelining is disabled:
- hosts: foo
vars:
ansible_pipelining: no
tasks:
- lineinfile: dest=/etc/sudoers line='Defaults requiretty' state=absent
sudo_user: root
(Note that sudoers has a complicated syntax, so the above lineinfile
invocation may be too simplistic for production use; but the point is
that a separate play can do something to disable requiretty.)
* allow global no_log setting, no need to set at play or task level, but can be overriden by them
* allow turning off syslog only on task execution from target host (manage_syslog), overlaps with no_log functionality
* created log function for task modules to use, now we can remove all syslog references, will use systemd journal if present
* added debug flag to modules, so they can make it call new log function conditionally
* added debug logging in module's run_command
There doesn't appear to be anything that actually uses tmp_path in the
connection plugins so we don't need to pass that in to exec_command.
That change also means that we don't need to pass tmp_path around in
many places in the action plugins any more. there may be more cleanup
that can be done there as well (the action plugin's public run() method
takes tmp as a keyword arg but that may not be necessary).
As a sideeffect of this patch, some potential problems with chmod and
the patch, assemble, copy, and template modules has been fixed (those
modules called _remote_chmod() with the wrong order for their
parameters. Removing the tmp parameter fixed them.)
This fixes a failing unit test.
In actual use (which is still quite far), I'm not sure if bytes ->
unicode conversion should be done here (in which case the code will fail
with an AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'readlines'), or
inside self._connection.exec_command() (in which case my change is
correct).
