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)
- 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.
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.
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 ;-)
