Enhancement: Split the ini_file tasks so that EL7 managed nodes use the bare "ini_file" module (shipped as a builtin by ansible 2.9, which cannot install the community.general collection) and all other systems use the fully-qualified community.general.ini_file module. Relax the ansible.posix and community.general collection-requirements entries to drop the version caps. Reason: EL7 support requires running against ansible 2.9, where community.general cannot be installed but "ini_file" is available as a builtin. Non-EL7 systems should use the latest community.general.ini_file. Result: The role runs on EL7 managed nodes without the community.general collection while using community.general.ini_file everywhere else. Issue Tracker Tickets (Jira or BZ if any): Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Duplicate the community.general.ini_file invocations in the sssd/dyndns
tests so RHEL 7 uses the builtin ini_file module (bare name resolves on
ansible 2.9) and other systems use community.general.ini_file, gated on
__ad_integration_is_rh_distro_7. Load the RH-distro vars via
vars/rh_distros_vars.yml and define __ad_integration_is_rh_distro_{7,8,9,10}
there.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace the two-line EL7 gate (__ad_integration_is_rh_distro plus
distribution_major_version == '7') with the single combined variable
__ad_integration_is_rh_distro_7 in the role tasks, and define
__ad_integration_is_rh_distro_{7,8,9,10} in the vars/main.yml rh-distros
block.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
An unresolvable FQCN aborts play parsing on EL7 (ansible 2.9, where community.general cannot be installed) even when the task is skipped by "when". The ini_file short name is an ansible 2.9 builtin and redirects to community.general.ini_file on newer systems, so the EL7 and non-EL7 variants were identical apart from their gate. Collapse each ini_file pair in the role and in the tests into a single bare-name task (with "# noqa fqcn") that works on all platforms, and drop the now-unused rh_distros_vars includes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The bare ini_file module is needed wherever community.general cannot be installed, which is any ansible 2.9 (ansible-engine) host - not EL7 specifically (EL8 with ansible-engine-2.9 hits the same constraint). Reword the comments in tasks and tests accordingly; no behavior change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
On ansible 2.9 (ansible-engine) the community.general collection cannot be installed, and relying on the builtin ini_file being bundled is fragile. Vendor a dependency-free copy as ini_file_ansible_29 and use it on ansible 2.9, while newer systems continue to use the bare ini_file name that redirects to the latest community.general.ini_file.

hmm - lots of ansible-test errors - is there a newer version of ini_file.py that fixes these issues but is still compatible with ansible 2.9? Worst case, we add a bunch of ignores to all of the .sanity-ansible-ignore-X.Y.txt files - but that's ugly and the Ansible partners team doesn't like it. |
The vendored ini_file_ansible_29 dropped extends_documentation_fragment, which removed documentation for the add_file_common_args parameters (mode, owner, group, attributes, seuser, serole, setype, selevel, unsafe_writes). ansible-test validate-modules then reported 21 errors (undocumented-parameter, parameter-type-not-in-doc, doc-default mismatch, and an O(mode) markup reference to an undocumented option). Restore the ansible.builtin.files fragment upstream ships. It is a core built-in (present since ansible 2.9), read only by ansible-doc and validate-modules, so it is safe on EL7/ansible 2.9 and adds no collection dependency.

Call module.fail_json on an atomic-move failure.
If atomic_move() raises IOError, module.ansible.fail_json can raise AttributeError because AnsibleModule exposes fail_json() directly and has no ansible attribute. Call module.fail_json to return the intended error response.

Enhancement
Use the bare
ini_filemodule for the SSSD config tasks. The bare nameresolves to the
ini_filebuiltin on ansible 2.9 (which cannot install thecommunity.generalcollection) and redirects tocommunity.general.ini_fileon newer systems, so a single unconditional task works everywhere. Relax the
ansible.posixandcommunity.generalcollection-requirements entries todrop the version caps.
Reason
EL7 support requires running against ansible 2.9, where
community.generalcannot be installed but
ini_fileis available as a builtin. The realconstraint is ansible 2.9 (ansible-engine), not EL7 specifically - EL8 with
ansible-engine-2.9 hits the same limitation. A fully-qualified
community.general.ini_filewould abort play parsing on ansible 2.9 even whenskipped, so the bare name is used unconditionally.
Result
The role runs on ansible 2.9 managed nodes (e.g. EL7) without the
community.generalcollection while using the latestcommunity.general.ini_fileeverywhere else.Issue Tracker Tickets (Jira or BZ if any)
