Ansible 2.0 RC1 is available for testing!

[James Cammarata]

Hi all, for those not at AnsibleFest we have officially release the first release candidate for Ansible 2.0!

For details and background, please see the original beta announcement here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ansible-project/_hTjEIpbA_Y/GtllImCkCQAJ

How do you get it?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The tar.gz of the release can be found here:

http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-2.0.0-0.6.rc1.tar.gz

SHA256: 6d45c6ed5c36e92e3fce32f971bd6e2c58a4d5cf892b2af5dd9fa6874fc4ee6c

You can also test against the git repository as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git

$ cd ansible

$ git checkout v2.0.0-0.6.rc1

$ git submodule update --init

You can then source our testing script:

$ . hacking/env-setup

or you can build your own .tar.gz (output will be dist/ansible-2.0.0.tar.gz):

$ make sdist

If you discover any errors related to this beta release, or if you see any regressions from playbooks which work on 1.9.x and prior, please open a Github issue and be sure to mention you're testing against this release candidate.

Thanks!

Is there a document anywhere that describes the changes and/or recommendations to migrate playbooks from 1.9.x to 2.0.0 (I'm not seeing anything obvious)?  I installed 2.0.0 and attempted to run an existing playbook and it fell over immediately.  It appears that variable scope has changed in significant ways (the play errored out checking a variable that had been defined in group_vars/all).

TIA

The changelog has most of the things you need to look at
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.0/CHANGELOG.md

Variable scope has not changed, precedence has been clarified and
templating has been defered to the last possible moment.
These last 2 have made it possible to fix many silent errors, which
are now shown when they were ignored before.

I would also recommend creating a new thread on ansible-project with any problems you are having.

Generally speaking, 2.0 should be backwards compatible, and if you are having issues with a playbook that ran fine, we should probably know a little more about it to determine if it is an issue with the 2.0 code base.

When will we be able to install v2.0 via PIP?  (I'm still seeing 1.9.4)

[Matt Martz]

Ansible 2.0 is still in release candidate, and pre releases are not pushed to pypi.

If you wish to install via pip, the following should work:

pip install http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-2.0.0-0.6.rc1.tar.gz
