If we're not delegating then we change _connection into a local
connection midway through the file but we don't change
_play_context.connection (no need to alter that). When we later check
it in process_remote() we need to know the actual connection, not the
connection that we thought we were going to use at the start of run().
So we have to use _connection.transport in process_remote(). The rest
of the places could use either one (because we have not yet changed to
a local connection) but we go ahead and switch those to
_connection.transport as well to avoid confusion in the future.
Fixes https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/issues/3136
This commit changes the key the ops_template will search for in order
to backup the current configuration to local disk on the Ansible control
host. This change was made to make ops_template consistent with the
other network template modules.
When checksums of local and remote files match, and when follow = True,
determine if remote destination is a symlink. If so, de-reference it and
pass the link target to the file module as 'dest'.
This change fixes an edge case in file copy behavior when:
- 'dest' is a symlink to some other file ('realdest')
- follow = True
- the checksums of the source file, 'src', and the symlink target, 'realdest',
match.
Because the checksums match, the copy module is skipped and the file module
is invoked directly with 'dest' = the symlink, and 'src' = the source of the
copy module, whether that source is present on the target machine or not.
When 'src' doesn't exist on the target machine, this leads to an error that
looks like this because it can't change the target of the symlink:
TASK [copy] ********************************************************************
fatal: [192.168.56.101]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "checksum": "f572d396fae9206628714fb2ce00f72e94f2258f", "failed": true, "gid": 1000, "group": "ajdecon", "mode": "0777", "msg": "src file does not exist, use \"force=yes\" if you really want to create the link: /tmp/issue1568/dest_dir/source", "owner": "ajdecon", "path": "/tmp/issue1568/dest_dir/dest", "size": 8, "src": "source", "state": "link", "uid": 1000}
When the path 'src' *does* exist on the target machine, the file module makes
this the symlink "dest -> src" instead of "dest -> realdest"... even if the
checksum of 'src' on the target machine is different from the checksum of 'src'
on the machine where Ansible is running.
- added new function for action plugins this avoids the very fragile checksum code that is shell dependant.
- ported copy module to it
- converted assemble to new stat function
- some corrections and ported temlpate
- updated old checksum function to use new stat one under the hood
- documented revamped remote checksum method
This adds a new action plugin iosxr_template that allows the
iosxr_template module to pass network device configurations through the
template engine. It also allows configurations to be backed up.
The net_config local action handles templating for network configuration
file. It will also allow network device configurations to be backed up
to the control host
Note: this plugin was originally named net_config but has been refactored to
net_template
now deprecation message appears with variable name in all spots where this occurs
debug's var= option is excluded as this is only place where bare variables shold actually
be accepted.
Adds new local action ops_config for handling openswitch configurations using
either dc or cli based configurations. Implements the common net_config
local action.
Note this refactors the ops_config plugin to ops_template
Adds a new local action ios_config for working with cisco ios configuration
files. Implements the common net_confing local action
Note this plugin was refactored from ios_config to ios_template
Adds new local action for working with cisco nxos configurations. Implemements
the net_config local action.
Note this action plugin was refactored from nxos_config to nxos_template
Adds a new local action for eos_config module to handle templating configs
and backing up running configurations. Implements the local action
net_config
Note this action was refactored from eos_config to eos_template
