The result of the detection was incorrectly being inverted. + - ansible-test - Delegation for commands which generate output for programmatic + consumption no longer redirect all output to stdout. The affected commands + and options are ``shell``, ``sanity --lint``, ``sanity --list-tests``, ``integration + --list-targets``, ``coverage analyze`` + - ansible-test - Delegation now properly handles arguments given after ``--`` + on the command line. + - ansible-test - Don't fail if network cannot be disconnected (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77472) + - ansible-test - Fix bootstrapping of Python 3.9 on Ubuntu 20.04 remotes. + - ansible-test - Fix change detection for ansible-test's own integration tests. + - ansible-test - Fix internal validation of remote completion configuration. + - ansible-test - Fix skipping of tests marked ``needs/python`` on the origin + host. + - ansible-test - Fix skipping of tests marked ``needs/root`` on the origin host. + - ansible-test - Prevent ``--target-`` prefixed options for the ``shell`` command + from being combined with legacy environment options. + - ansible-test - Sanity test output with the ``--lint`` option is no longer + mixed in with bootstrapping output. + - ansible-test - Subprocesses are now isolated from the stdin, stdout and stderr + of ansible-test. This avoids issues with subprocesses tampering with the file + descriptors, such as SSH making them non-blocking. As a result of this change, + subprocess output from unit and integration tests on stderr now go to stdout. + - ansible-test - Subprocesses no longer have access to the TTY ansible-test + is connected to, if any. This maintains consistent behavior between local + testing and CI systems, which typically do not provide a TTY. Tests which + require a TTY should use pexpect or another mechanism to create a PTY. + - ansible-test - Temporary executables are now verified as executable after + creation. Without this check, path injected scripts may not be found, typically + on systems with ``/tmp`` mounted using the "noexec" option. This can manifest + as a missing Python interpreter, or use of the wrong Python interpreter, as + well as other error conditions. + - 'ansible-test - Test configuration for collections is now parsed only once, + prior to delegation. Fixes issue: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78334' + - ansible-test - Test containers are now run with the ``--tmpfs`` option for + ``/tmp``, ``/run`` and ``/run/lock``. This allows use of containers built + without the ``VOLUME`` instruction. Additionally, containers with those volumes + defined no longer create anonymous volumes for them. This avoids leaving behind + volumes on the container host after the container is stopped and deleted. + - ansible-test - The ``shell`` command no longer redirects all output to stdout + when running a provided command. Any command output written to stderr will + be mixed with the stderr output from ansible-test. + - ansible-test - The ``shell`` command no longer requests a TTY when using delegation + unless an interactive shell is being used. An interactive shell is the default + behavior when no command is given to pass to the shell. + - ansible-test - ansible-doc sanity test - Correctly determine the fully-qualified + collection name for plugins in subdirectories, resolving https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78490. + - ansible-test - validate-modules - Documentation-only modules, used for documenting + actions, are now allowed to have docstrings (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77972). + - ansible-test compile sanity test - do not crash if a column could not be determined + for an error (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77465). + - apt - Fix module failure when a package is not installed and only_upgrade=True. + Skip that package and check the remaining requested packages for upgrades. + (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78762) + - apt - don't actually update the cache in check mode with update_cache=true. + - apt - don't mark existing packages as manually installed in check mode (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/66413). + - apt - fix package selection to include /etc/apt/preferences(.d) (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77969) + - apt module now correctly handles virtual packages. + - arg_spec - Fix incorrect ``no_log`` warning when a parameter alias is used + (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77576) + - callback plugins - do not crash when ``exception`` passed from a module is + not a string (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/75726, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77781). + - cli now emits clearer error on no hosts selected + - config, ensure that pulling values from configmanager are templated if possible. + - display itself should be single source of 'verbosity' level to the engine. + - dnf - Condense a few internal boolean returns. + - dnf - The ``nobest`` option now also works for ``state=latest``. + - dnf - The ``skip_broken`` option is now used in installs (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/73072). + - dnf - fix output parsing on systems with ``LANGUAGE`` set to a language other + than English (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78193) + - facts - fix IP address discovery for specific interface names (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77792). + - 'facts - fix processor facts on AIX: correctly detect number of cores and + threads, turn ``processor`` into a list (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78223).' + - fetch_file - Ensure we only use the filename when calculating a tempfile, + and do not incude the query string (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/29680) + - fetch_file - properly split files with multiple file extensions (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/75257) + - file - setting attributes of symbolic links or files that are hard linked + no longer fails when the link target is unspecified (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76142). + - file backed cache plugins now handle concurrent access by making atomic updates + to the files. + - git module fix docs and proper use of ssh wrapper script and GIT_SSH_COMMAND + depending on version. + - if a config setting prevents running ansible it should at least show it's + "origin". + - include module - add docs url to include deprecation message (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76684). + - items2dict - Handle error if an item is not a dictionary or is missing the + required keys (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/70337). + - local facts - if a local fact in the facts directory cannot be stated, store + an error message as the fact value and emit a warning just as if just as if + the facts execution has failed. The stat can fail e.g. on dangling symlinks. + - lookup plugin - catch KeyError when lookup returns dictionary (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77789). + - module_utils - Make distro.id() report newer versions of OpenSuSE (at least + >=15) also report as ``opensuse``. They report themselves as ``opensuse-leap``. + - module_utils.service - daemonize - Avoid modifying the list of file descriptors + while iterating over it. + - null_representation config entry changed to 'raw' as it must allow 'none/null' + and empty string. + - paramiko - Add a new option to allow paramiko >= 2.9 to easily work with all + devices now that rsa-sha2 support was added to paramiko, which prevented communication + with numerous platforms. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76737) + - paramiko - Add back support for ``ssh_args``, ``ssh_common_args``, and ``ssh_extra_args`` + for parsing the ``ProxyCommand`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78750) + - password lookup does not ignore k=v arguments anymore. + - pause module will now report proper 'echo' vs always being true. + - pip - fix cases where resolution of pip Python module fails when importlib.util + has not already been imported + - plugin loader - Sort results when fuzzy matching plugin names (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77966). + - plugin loader will now load config data for plugin by name instead of by file + to avoid issues with the same file being loaded under different names (fqcn + + short name). + - plugin loader, now when skipping a plugin due to an abstract method error + we provide that in 'verbose' mode instead of totally obscuring the error. + The current implementation assumed only the base classes would trigger this + and failed to consider 'in development' plugins. + - prevent lusermod from using group name instead of group id (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77914) + - prevent type annotation shim failures from causing runtime failures (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77860) + - psrp connection now handles default to inventory_hostname correctly. + - roles, fixed issue with roles loading paths not contained in the role itself + when using the `_from` options. + - setup - Adds a default value to ``lvm_facts`` when lvm or lvm2 is not installed + on linux (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/17393) + - shell plugins now give a more user friendly error when fed the wrong type + of data. + - template module/lookup - fix ``convert_data`` option that was effectively + always set to True for Jinja macros (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78141) + - unarchive - if unzip is available but zipinfo is not, use unzip -Z instead + of zipinfo (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/76959). + - uri - properly use uri parameter use_proxy (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/58632) + - uri module - failed status when Authentication Bearer used with netrc, because + Basic authentication was by default. Fix now allows to ignore netrc by changing + use_netrc=False (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74397). + - urls - Guard imports of ``urllib3`` by catching ``Exception`` instead of ``ImportError`` + to prevent exceptions in the import process of optional dependencies from + preventing use of ``urls.py`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78648) + - user - Fix error "Permission denied" in user module while generating SSH keys + (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78017). + - user - fix creating a local user if the user group already exists (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/75042) + - user module - Replace uses of the deprecated ``spwd`` python module with ctypes + (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78050) + - validate-modules - fix validating version_added for new options. + - variablemanager, more efficient read of vars files + - vault secrets file now executes in the correct context when it is a symlink + (not resolved to canonical file). + - wait_for - Read file and perform comparisons using bytes to avoid decode errors + (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78214) + - winrm - Ensure ``kinit`` is run with the same ``PATH`` env var as the Ansible + process + - winrm connection now handles default to inventory_hostname correctly. + - yaml inventory plugin - fix the error message for non-string hostnames (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77519). + - yum - fix traceback when ``releasever`` is specified with ``latest`` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78058) + deprecated_features: + - Deprecate ability of lookup plugins to return arbitrary data.

Further details are available in the testing + documentation. + - ansible-test - Custom containers with ``VOLUME`` instructions may be unable + to start, when previously the containers started correctly. Remove the ``VOLUME`` + instructions to resolve the issue. Containers with this condition will cause + ``ansible-test`` to emit a warning. + - ansible-test - Systems with Podman networking issues may be unable to run + containers, when previously the issue went unreported. Correct the networking + issues to continue using ``ansible-test`` with Podman. + - ansible-test - Using Docker on systems with SELinux may require setting SELinux + to permissive mode. Podman should work with SELinux in enforcing mode. + major_changes: + - ansible-test - Docker Desktop on WSL2 is now supported (additional configuration + required). + - ansible-test - Docker and Podman are now supported on hosts with cgroup v2 + unified. Previously only cgroup v1 and cgroup v2 hybrid were supported. + - ansible-test - Podman now works on container hosts without systemd. Previously + only some containers worked, while others required rootfull or rootless Podman, + but would not work with both. Some containers did not work at all. + - ansible-test - Podman on WSL2 is now supported. + - ansible-test - When additional cgroup setup is required on the container host, + this will be automatically detected. Instructions on how to configure the + host will be provided in the error message shown. + minor_changes: + - ansible-test - A new ``audit`` option is available when running custom containers. + This option can be used to indicate whether a container requires the AUDIT_WRITE + capability. The default is ``required``, which most containers will need when + using Podman. If necessary, the ``none`` option can be used to opt-out of + the capability. This has no effect on Docker, which always provides the capability. + - ansible-test - A new ``cgroup`` option is available when running custom containers. + This option can be used to indicate a container requires cgroup v1 or that + it does not use cgroup. The default behavior assumes the container works with + cgroup v2 (as well as v1). + - ansible-test - Additional log details are shown when containers fail to start + or SSH connections to containers fail. + - ansible-test - Connection failures to remote provisioned hosts now show failure + details as a warning. + - ansible-test - Containers included with ansible-test no longer disable seccomp + by default. + - ansible-test - Failure to connect to a container over SSH now results in a + clear error. Previously tests would be attempted even after initial connection + attempts failed. + - ansible-test - Integration tests can be excluded from retries triggered by + the ``--retry-on-error`` option by adding the ``retry/never`` alias. This + is useful for tests that cannot pass on a retry or are too slow to make retries + useful. + - ansible-test - More details are provided about an instance when provisioning + fails. + - ansible-test - Reduce the polling limit for SSHD startup in containers from + 60 retries to 10. The one second delay between retries remains in place. + - ansible-test - SSH connections from OpenSSH 8.8+ to CentOS 6 containers now + work without additional configuration. However, clients older than OpenSSH + 7.0 can no longer connect to CentOS 6 containers as a result. The container + must have ``centos6`` in the image name for this work-around to be applied. + - ansible-test - SSH shell connections from OpenSSH 8.8+ to ansible-test provisioned + network instances now work without additional configuration. However, clients + older than OpenSSH 7.0 can no longer open shell sessions for ansible-test + provisioned network instances as a result. + - ansible-test - The ``ansible-test env`` command now detects and reports the + container ID if running in a container. + - ansible-test - Unit tests now support network disconnect by default when running + under Podman. Previously this feature only worked by default under Docker. + - ansible-test - Use ``stop --time 0`` followed by ``rm`` to remove ephemeral + containers instead of ``rm -f``. This speeds up teardown of ephemeral containers. + - ansible-test - Warnings are now shown when using containers that were built + with VOLUME instructions. + - ansible-test - When setting the max open files for containers, the container + host's limit will be checked. If the host limit is lower than the preferred + value, it will be used and a warning will be shown. + - ansible-test - When using Podman, ansible-test will detect if the loginuid + used in containers is incorrect. When this occurs a warning is displayed and + the container is run with the AUDIT_CONTROL capability. Previously containers + would fail under this situation, with no useful warnings or errors given. + release_summary: '| Release Date: 2023-01-23 + + | `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides.html>`__ + + ' + codename: C'mon Everybody + fragments: + - 75837-validate-modules-invalid-yaml.yml + - 76578-fix-role-argspec-suboptions-error.yml + - 79525-fix-file-touch-check-mode-status.yaml + - 79561-fix-a-g-global-ignore-certs-cfg.yml + - 79681-argspec-param-deprecation.yml + - 79711-fix-play-stats-rescued.yml + - 79717-get-url-ciphers.yml + - 79740-aliases-warnings-deprecations-in-suboptions.yml + - adoc_fix_list.yml + - ansible-test-container-management.yml + - ansible-test-fix-python-3.11-traceback.yml + - ansible-test-pypi-proxy-fix.yml + - better-maybe-json-uri.yml + - local_bad_user.yml + - rejectlist_fix.yml + - unsorted.yml + - v2.14.2rc1_summary.yaml + - validate-module-ps-cmdlet.yml + release_date: '2023-01-23' + 2.14.3: + changes: + release_summary: '| Release Date: 2023-02-27 + + | `Porting Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides.html>`__ + + ' + codename: C'mon Everybody + fragments: + - v2.14.3_summary.yaml + release_date: '2023-02-27' + 2.14.3rc1: + changes: + bugfixes: + - Ansible.Basic.cs - Ignore compiler warning (reported as an error) when running + under PowerShell 7.3.x. + - Fix conditionally notifying ``include_tasks` handlers when ``force_handlers`` + is used (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79776) + - TaskExecutor - don't ignore templated _raw_params that k=v parser failed to + parse (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79862) + - ansible-galaxy - fix installing collections in git repositories/directories + which contain a MANIFEST.json file (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79796). + - ansible-test - Support Podman 4.4.0+ by adding the ``SYS_CHROOT`` capability + when running containers. + - ansible-test - fix warning message about failing to run an image to include + the image name + - strategy plugins now correctly identify bad registered variables, even on + skip. + minor_changes: + - Make using blocks as handlers a parser error (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79968) + - 'ansible-test - Specify the configuration file location required by test plugins + when the config file is not found.
