On some very old simplejson does not support the 'encoding' and give
following exception:
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'encoding'
This fix runs json.dump with no encoding key (such as before #a023cb) on
TypeError exception only.
- unified set attribute functions ... not sure why 2 identical functions
exist with diff names, now there are 3 while i repoint all modules to 1
- fixed issue with symlinks being created w/o existing src when force=no
- refactored conditionals, simplified where possible
- added tests for symlink to nonexistant source, with both force options
- made symlink on existing attomic (force)
Previously, the function checked only for a single CA root cert, however
some distributions may have multiple certs in a directory. This will now
try any .crt or .pem file contained within several common paths for
each platform.
Fixes#6412
* Adds another module utility file which generalizes the
access of urls via the urllib* libraries.
* Adds a new spec generator for common arguments.
* Makes the user-agent string configurable.
Fixes#6211
Allow security tokens and profiles to be used as arguments
to the 'common' ec2 modules
Mostly refactoring to provide two new methods,
`get_aws_connection_info`, which results in a dict that can be
passed through to the boto `connect_to_region` calls, and
`connect_to_aws` that can pass that dict through to the
`connect_to_region` method of the appropriate module.
Tidied up some variable names
Works around boto/boto#2100
profiles don't work with boto < 2.24, but this detects for that
and fails with an appropriate message. It is designed to work
if profile is not passed but boto < 2.24 is installed.
Modifications to allow empty aws auth variables to be passed
(this is useful if wanting to have the keys as an optional
parameter in ec2 calls - if set, use this value, if not set,
use boto config or env variables)
Reworked validate_certs improvements to work with refactoring
Added documentation for profile and security_token to affected modules
In order to simplify the workflow with the GCE modules, it's now
possible to add the parameters and project name as arguments to the
various GCE modules.
The inventory plugin also returns the IP of the host in
`ansible_ssh_host` so that you don't have to specify IPs into the
inventory file.
Some update to the documentation are also added.
Closes#5583.
