- Fix#9796: Failing installation on bionic (18.04 LTS)
- Remove support for precise (12.04 LTS), which is out of public support
(On this version, the package python-software-properties contained
the add-apt-repository tool)
- Reduce the number of SSH calls, and avoid unnecessary apt-get calls.
- Remove undesired blank characters
- The examples attached to a specific option must be concise
- The original example is a tip for a non-standard use case
In the $script variable definition there appears to be a typo of "<<SCRIPT" when it should be "<<-SCRIPT". I ran into this issue while editing the Vagrant file on a Fedora variant with ruby 2.3.3p222 (2016-11-21 revision 56859) [x86_64-linux].
- 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.
This commit aligns how the file provisioner should work on all host
machines. It ensures that a `/.` is only applied if the user intended
to upload a folder to a destination under a different name. It ensures
that if uploading to a windows guest with a different destination folder
name, it does not nest the source folder under that name so that it
works the same as it does on linux platforms. It also updates the
behavior of the winrm upload communicator by allowing an array of paths
to be uploaded instead of a single file or folder to allow for this new
functionality for windows guests.
This commit introduces the salt_arg option that allows a user to pass
additional command line flags to the `salt` tool when provisioning with
a master setup.
It also adds additional config validation to ensure that both
`salt_args` and `salt_call_args` is an array.
Prior to this commit, if a user attempted to configure
`/etc/default/docker` through vagrant prior to installation, the package
manager would not override an existing configuration and installing
docker would then fail. This commit fixes this by introducing a
`post_install_provisioner` that allows users to define a provisioner
block that will run after docker has been installed, allowing users to
configure `/etc/default/docker` how they want.
With the introduction of `pip_args` option, you can easily extend the
`:pip` installation mode behaviour. But some interesting/advanced usages
are still not possible because of the auto-generated parts ("ansible"
package, version selection, and the `--upgrade` flag).
By adding this "pip_args_only" install mode, it will be for instance
possible to:
- install unofficial releases, like release candidates published at
https://releases.ansible.com/
- install more pip packages (e.g. via a `requirements.txt` file), with
hash validation, etc.
Note that there is no config validation that requires `pip_args` option
to be defined when the :pip_args_only mode is selected. This would be
more elegant, and user friendly to raise a configuration error, but this
can wait. At least, running with an empty `pip_args` won't lead to any
command crash, since the rather dummy "pip install" shows an helper
notice and terminates with a zero (0) exit code.
This change is thought as a complement to the changes originally
proposed in pull request GH-8170.
With this new option, it is now possible to pass additional arguments to
pip command when the `install_mode` is "pip".

Allows checksum validation on downloaded files via Util::Downloader
using MD5 and/or SHA1 checksums. This also integrates checksum validation
support with the shell provisioner for downloaded remote files.
