- The passage beginning "Note that file will not fail..." was slightly
unclear about the fact that it referred to the behavior of the module
when `state` is set to `absent`.
- Fixes#23203
So the xml module has a lot of parameters that combined together do
specific things. however it does not really describe which parameters
are required together, or which ones are required.
This PR fixes that situation and makes it impossible to provide
confussing parameters combinations.
Also, `pretty_print` was used as a flag to modify the output, but also
as an action to reformat the file (without other change). This is
problematic the way it was designed. This fixes that too.
This fixes#28194
This PR includes:
- Improvements to change-detection by comparing 2 objectified XML trees
- Implement better integration tests by comparing 2 files using copy
* Fixes#28444: Renamed print_match function to match_print due to name conflict
* Rename `match_print` to `do_print_match`
I think this is less confusing.
* Fix 'the the' typos, fix 'pahting' filename typo
* Change 'the the' typos to a single 'the'.
* Change `playbook_pahting.rst` to `playbook_pathing.rst`.
* Delete trailing space in ec2_vol example
Delete the trailing space in `instance: "{{ item.id }} "`, which makes the
example fail when run because it looks for instance "i-xxxx ".
This was causing wrong behaviour when `prev_state` was `hard`-link,
since the `file` module tried to apply the same `state` on the new
file, causing unexpected errors.
Particularly, both `overlay` and `devicemapper` storage drivers in
docker use hardlinks to share files between layers. This causes
most ansible playbooks to fail when working with files from layers
below.
* Optimize template
* In fixing template to handle diff correctly #24477, I introduced more
round trips to the remote end which slowed things down The new code now
uses one fewer round trips than the old code.
* Reimplement a large part of template by calling the copy action plugin
instead of doing it in template's code. This reduces the code in
template and gives us one place to fix bugs and optimize.
* Add a follow parameter to template that mirrors the follow parameters
for file and copy.
* Fix copy's diff handling (probably broken in my rewrite for in 2.4
development)
* Adjusted when copy creates tmp dirs to rduce round trips in copy and
template.
Fixes#27956
* Fix idempotency for Unix permissions in zip files.
This fix prevents the unarchive module from reporting 'changed' when a zipfile contains items with Unix permissions that differ from the system default.
* Update zip unarchive tests.
Additional tests for the unarchive module with zip files:
- Test file in zip archive with non-default permissions
- Test file added to zip archive with Windows permissions
* Additional fix for mixed win/unix archives.
Turns out my original fix fails under some mixed archives, as setting the umask to zero can be applied to those files. This creates a per-file umask variable, so a mix of permission types don't cause problems.
* CI Checks
CI checks for archives with:
* non default Unix permissions
* Windows permissions
* Workaround for BSD differences.
Using Zipinfo due to lack of support in BSD unzip.
Permissions handling is also different in BSD -- always applies UMASK to file permissions.
* Added checks for creating directories and SSH keys for existing users.
