Since the Ansible provisioner now potentially exports ANSIBLE_SSH_ARGS
variable, it is fair to allow to extend the content of this environment
variable (`ssh_args` parameters from ansible.cfg file have lower
priority)
Note that this feature requires to force `--connection=ssh`. This is not
a big deal as `paramiko` mode is deprecated and in most cases `smart`
mode enables `ssh` mode.
This reverts feb748f488 and 7cd7077467. `bootstrap_options` is
meant for flag options such as `-D`. This is demonstrated in the
example Vagrantfile from the original plugin:
github.com/saltstack/salty-vagrant/blob/develop/example/complete/Vagrantfile
Flag options must be appended to the options string before install
args such as `install_type` and `install_args`.
- The implicit default limit is always set
- ansible.limit as an empty string won't disable the default limit, but
will be passed as "--limit=" argument and ansible-playbook will return
an error (provided host list is empty)
- Support arbitrary depth of "groups of groups of ... groups"
- Skip ':vars' suffix, but allow group names with ':' (yes, Ansible
accepts this character)
- Like for groups of machines, groups of groups can result "empty", but
it is not an issue for Ansible. Recursive filter on the group tree is
a bit hard to implement, and don't brind real added value at Vagrant
level.
Pull up encrypted data bag secret management into the base classes, thus
also unifying the functionality.
Especially this complements the issues:
* Upload the secret to provisioning path also with chef-solo [GH-1246]
* Delete the secret also with chef-client [GH-2712]
* Remove the secret before uploading also with chef-client [GH-1111]
of `args` itself and as an element inside of an `args` array. Added validation
around passing in arrays for arguments. Just knowing that it is an array is not
enough, because arrays can contain any other type.
Except ':children' for groups of groups, it is safer to avoid generating
':suffix' blocks. At the moment Ansible only supports (but doesn't
recommend) group variables (:vars), and the Vagrant Ansible provisioner
won't support this way to define variables.
Syntax errors in `ansible.groups` definition are not well handled:
Error returned: undefined method `each' for "machine1":String (NoMethodError)
Being tolerant here doesn't hurt and may avoid people get
confused/annoyed.
env.active_machines can potentiall return 'invalid' machines:
- Ignore machines that are not declared in current Vagrantfile
- Warn when machines are missing (it usually occurs when the VM is
removed without `vagrant destroy` and some orphan metadata remains
in .vagrant/machines/...)
The Ansible provisioner will now only create a single inventory file named,
"vagrant_ansible_inventory". All defined Vagrant machines will be added to
this inventory file. Provisioning will now include a "--limit=#{machine}"
option to scope Ansible provisioning tasks to just the current machine. Setting
the Ansible provisioner's "limit" config option will override the new default
limit. Ansible provisioning scripts will now have access to all other defined
machines and what groups they reside in.
It is common for Puppet to manage itself. If the puppet code you are
deploying pushes files to /etc/puppet/modules/, then prepending this
path can break deployment because it will override the module path if
the deployment code is changing. There is no good reason to include this
path. Puppet has built in defaults for this reason.
Without this change, it is not possible to pass more than one "raw"
argument, which was not the expected behavior. In addition to Array
format, String (for a single argument) is still accepted (for sake of
"backward compatibility" and ease of use).
Note: Due to low/expert usage of this option, I think that it is not
necessary to add more robust validation on this parameter (e.g. Array
of String type checking or argument syntax pattern matching). Use it at
your own risk ;-)
The logic change in 57d4775140 introduced
a bug where neither strings nor arrays provided as `args` for shell
provisioners would pass validation.
This fixes that problem along with a few extras:
- split out arg validation into a private method
- update comment describing valid args
- add a few unit tests around config validation
