Fixes#8991.
1. When remote executing scripts one should always call powershell with
1a. "-NonInteractive", in order to prevent interactive prompts from leading to an endless waiting time for the script to return
1b. "-NoProfile", in order to prevent the loading of unknown custom profiles before execution of the script which could have unintended side effects
2. During my tests I constantly ran into 408 timeouts when downloading the salt binaries. I've prevented that by adding a simple retry mechanism and an error exit in case of multiple failures. Without this change the bootstrap script never returned (and neither did vagrant up)
Output format of ui.info method (bold text) makes reading long script outputs really heavy on the eyes. ui.detail is a better match for this type of output.
This commit splits out the msys2 and cygwin path functions for
expanding a path with the cygpath tool. It also ensures that the tool
itself exists when the Which class is called so that it doesn't attempt
to escape slashes on nil.
Reverting the changes done in 7d2f7dab97
because they don't work and or update vagrant to invoke running the
vbox cli tool for every single forwarded port instead of forwarding them
all in one command.
Issue: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/8468
A lot of vboxmanage commands are flakey and frequently cause
bringing multiple machines up at once to fail, especially when
the host system is under heavy load. Most commands are also safe
to retry and just result in a no-op, so we can simply add
'retryable' to a lot of existing calls. For the others we need to
do a little bit of cleanup or reevaluate the parameters before
trying again.
- Keep the Programming Errors with corresponding Exception class and
en.yml message template. Fix the alphabetical order in errors.rb by
the way.
- Fix English wording in the documentation and en.yml messages
- Use StandardError for unknown error rescuing.
Thanks @chrisroberts!
Vagrant will verify that the current Ansible version does support the
requested compatibility mode (only applicable if not "auto", of course).
As mentioned in the documentation, there is no sanity checks between
`version` option and `compatibility_mode` option.
With this change, the host-based provisioner is also improved to
execute only once the "ansible" command (and store the gathered
information for multiple usages like version requirement and
compatibility checks). On the other hand, the guest-based provisioner
can still potentially execute "ansible" twice (once in the
AnsibleInstalled cap, and via "gather_ansible_version" function via
Base::set_compatibility_mode).
Fixing a typo made in 073898046542323eb11c2e129f37fa558ae201e1,
after getting the confirmation that all the Vagrant docs will continue
to use full path for internal links (for the moment).
[ci skip]
Before this change, only the ansible_local provisioner supported this
option (for ansible version requirement, and pip installation). Now, the
ansible host-based provisioner can also require a exact ansible version.
Resolve#8914
Note: this has been added as part of #6570 resolution, since the
introduction of the `compatibility_mode` auto-detection made both
provisioners made capable to detect ansible version.
Pending: optimize the code to avoid duplicated executions of "ansible
--version" command.
With this change, it is now possible to get rid of many deprecation
messages successively introduced in Ansible 1.9, and 2.0. More
interesting, the generated inventory will contain the recommended
variable names (e.g. `ansible_host` instead of `ansible_ssh_host`)
when the compatibility mode is set to '2.0'.
Details:
- Add `compatibility_mode` option to control the Ansible parameters
format to be used. The value corresponds to the minimal version
supported. For the moment, possible values are '1.8' (corresponding to
Vagrant's former behaviour) or '2.0'.
Note that a dynamic inventory generated in compatibility mode '2.0'
is not supported by Ansible 1.x. On the other hand, Ansible 2.x so far
supports inventory format generated by the compatibility mode '1.8'.
- Add compatibility mode auto-detection, based on the available Ansible
version. This is the default behaviour in order to bring a maximum of
user friendliness. The drawback of this approach is to let potential
compatibility breaking risks, for `ansible` provisioner setups that
already integrate Ansible 2.x **AND** rely on the existence of
the generated `_ssh` variable names. Thanks to the vagrant warnings
(and its release notes), I argue that it is worth to offer
auto-detection by default, which offers a sweet transition to most
users.
- Add `become`, `become_user` and `ask_become_pass` options and their
backwards compatible aliases. The legacy options are now deprecated.
Note that we intentionally didn't provide a '1.9' compatibility mode,
as it would add extra-complexity for practically no added-value.
To my knowledge, the Ansible 2.x series haven't introduced yet any major
changes or deprecations that would motivate to introduce a higher
version compatibility mode (to be confirmed/verified).
Resolve GH-6570
Still Pending:
- Optimization: Reduce the number of `ansible` command executions.
Currently two exec calls will be performed when the compatibility
mode auto-detection is enabled (i.e. by default). We could make the
provisioner a little bit smarter to only execute `ansible` only once
in any situation (by combining "presence" and "version" checks).
- User-friendliness: Add better validator on `compatibility_mode`
option, and shows a warning or an error instead of the silent
fallback on the auto-detection modus.
- Test coverage: All the added behaviours are not fully covered yet.
