just 'cause people build bad systems that insist on not allowing
updates in an atomic manner and force us to do them in a very
unsafe way that has race conditions and can lead to many issues.
if using this option you should really be opening a bug report with
the system that only allows for this type of update.
and now i shower though i doubt i'll feel clean
* In 2.0.0.x become was reversed for synchronize. It was happening on
the local machine instead of the remote machine. This restores the
ansible-1.9.x behaviour of doing become on the remote machine.
However, there's aspects of this that are hacky (no hackier than
ansible-1.9 but not using 2.0 features). The big problem is that it
does not understand any become method except sudo. I'm willing to use
a partial fix now because we don't want people to get used to the
reversed semantics in their playbooks.
* synchronize copying to the wrong host when inventory_hostname is
localhost
* Fix problem with unicode arguments (first seen as a bug on synchronize)
Fixes#14041Fixes#13825
* now module errors clearly state msg=MODULE FAILURE
* module's stdout and stderr go into module_stdout and module_stderr keys
which only appear during parsing failure
* invocation module_args are deleted from results provided by action
plugin as errors can keep us from overwriting and then disclosing info that
was meant to be kept hidden due to no_log
* fixed invocation module_args set by basic.py as it was creating different
keys as the invocation in action plugin base.
* results now merge
It is natural that an argument_spec with choises=BOOLEAN accepts
boolean literal (True, False) though the current implementation
allows only string or int.
(Reminder: cannot use six here, module_utils get shipped to remote
machines that may not have six installed -- besides six doens't support
Python 2.4.)
* 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
Make the code compatible with Pythons 2.4 through 3.5 by using
sys.exc_info()[1] instead.
This is necessary but not sufficient for Python 3 compatibility.
