Version 1.9.0 - CHANGELOG.md [citest skip]

[1.9.0] - 2022-07-19

New Features

Add support for attaching LVM cache to existing LVs (#273)

Fixes: #252

Add support for managing pool members (#264)

For LVM pools this adds support for adding and removing members (PVs) from the pool (VG).

Do not allow removing members from existing pools in safe mode

Bug Fixes

loop variables are scoped local - no need to reset them (#282)

If you use

  loop_control:
    loop_var: storage_test_pool

Then the variable storage_test_pool is scoped local to the task and is undefined after the task. In addition, referencing the variable after the loop causes this warning:

[WARNING]: The loop variable 'storage_test_pool' is already in use. You should
set the `loop_var` value in the `loop_control` option for the task to something
else to avoid variable collisions and unexpected behavior.

support ansible-core-2.13 (#278)

Looks like ansible-core-2.13 (or latest jinja3) does not support constructs like this:

var: "{{ [some list] }} + {{ [other list] }}"

instead, the entire thing has to be evaluated in the same jinja evaluation context:

var: "{{ [some list] + [other list] }}"

In addition - it is an Ansible antipattern to use

- set_fact:
    var: "{{ var + item }}"
    loop: "{{ some_list }}"

so that was rewritten to use filters instead

Other Changes

ensure role works with gather_facts: false (#277)

Ensure tests work when using ANSIBLE_GATHERING=explicit

ensure cryptsetup is available for testing (#279)
make min_ansible_version a string in meta/main.yml (#281)

The Ansible developers say that min_ansible_version in meta/main.yml must be a string value like "2.9", not a float value like 2.9.

Skip the entire test_lvm_pool_members playbook with old blivet (#280)

Multiple bugs in blivet were fixed in order to make the feature work and without the correct version even the most basic test to remove a PV from a VG will fail so we should skip the entire test with old versions of blivet. Skip test on el7 if blivet version is too old Add support for is_rhel7 Refactor EL platform and version checking code Add a name for the end_play task

Add CHANGELOG.md (#283)
