If no group was specified, but a group by the same name as the user
exists, an error was raised in the situation where USERGROUPS_ENAB is
enabled in /etc/login.defs (which is the case for almost every major
linux distro). In this case, the user will be put in group 100 (which
is usually the "users" group on those same distros). This is currently
only done in the base class, as the issue may not exist on other
platforms like AIX or the BSDs.
Fixes#6210
Closes GH-6194.
These changes pass attribute modifications through to new directories during a recursive copy with an addition allowing for the directory mode to be set independantly.
##### Issue Type:
Bugfix Pull Request
##### Ansible Version:
ansible 1.4.3
##### Environment:
N/A
##### Summary:
We are using a wrapper python script to run ansible-playbook. We use subprocess to execute and print the stdout as and when its written. Problem is when we use pause it doesn't display the prompt string as raw_input does not flush stdout before reading from stdin.
It looks like a dirty fix to add "\n" to the prompt string but i don't see any other way to over come this. If anyone else have a better fix please do propose/suggest.
##### Steps To Reproduce:
```yaml
#File: test_play.yml
- name: Test
hosts: $nodes
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Waiting for User
local_action: pause prompt="Do you want to continue (yes/no)? "
```
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python
#File: test.py
import shlex, subprocess
def run_process(process):
process = process.encode("utf-8")
command = shlex.split(process)
p = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
for line in iter(p.stdout.readline, b''):
print line,
cmd = "/usr/bin/python -u /usr/bin/ansible-playbook -i hosts.txt test_play.yml -e 'nodes=local'"
run_process(cmd)
```
```
shell $ python test.py
```
##### Expected Results:
```
PLAY [Test] *******************************************************************
TASK: [Waiting for User] ******************************************************
[localhost]
Do you want to continue (yes/no)? :
```
##### Actual Results:
```
PLAY [Test] *******************************************************************
TASK: [Waiting for User] ******************************************************
[localhost]
```
Addresses GH-5116.
It comes up that when parsing json that if you are missing the last double quote on the last variable and the next line is just '}' we will get an out of range error. In this instance we will also then make sure that the line is long enough to have two colons.
