This patch also checks specifically for a return code of 255, which
indicates an unknown SSH error of some kind. When that happens, ansible
will now recommend running with -vvvv (if not enabled) or show the
output from 'ssh -vvv' (when it is enabled)
This allows an included path to be relative to a directory, if the
basedir of the original path is a symlink. In that case, the path
is normalized and the file is searched for in the normalized path.
Fixes#3312
Still needs:
* chunked file transfer/receive
* should probably move all send/recv operations to separate
functions to reduce code duplication
* initial connection setup over ssh? or do we handle that in runner?
This is based somewhat loosely on how Keyczar does things. Their
implementation does things in a much more generic way to allow for more
variance in how the cipher is created, but since we're only using one
key type most of our values are hard-coded. They also add a header to
their messages, which I am not doing (don't see the need for it
currently).
Files were being created in /tmp, but will now be created in $HOME/.ansible/cp/
Addresses CVE-2013-4259: ansible uses a socket with predictable filename in /tmp
The 'always_run' task clause allows one to execute a task even in
check mode.
While here implement Runner.noop_on_check() to check if a runner
really should execute its task, with respect to check mode option
and 'always_run' clause.
Also add the optional 'jinja2' argument to check_conditional() :
it allows to give this function a jinja2 expression without exposing
the 'jinja2_compare' implementation mechanism.
* Moved the --list-hosts option that is common to both `ansible` and
`ansible-playbook` into utils/__init__.py (corrects a FIXME)
* Wrote new help text for the --list-hosts option that makes sense
for both of the commands that it applies to
* Changed the usage argument in `ansible-playbook` so that it is
setup in the base_parser method the same way that it is in
the `ansible` executable
* Updated the help text for several options to correct typos,
clarify meaning, improve readability, or fix grammatical errors.
In the case of `ansible-pull`, I changed the help text so that
it adheres to the same standards as the other executables.
