By referring the directory that contains the generated inventory file,
users can easily provide more settings with additional files stored in
the same directory.
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/...)
